I’m Sarah and this is me with my boyfriend, Mike. We’ve been best friends for two years and in a relationship for 6 and a half months, after both struggling through unhealthy relationships while knowing we should be together. When we finally admitted our feelings to ourselves and each other, my life changed completely. He has made me so much better in every way and I’ve learned so much from him, I don’t even think I know how to be without him anymore. He is absolutely my other half. I regret so much that I wasted so much time ignoring how I feel about him because the day that ends our seventh month together is the day I leave for college and I’m terrified. Seven months is not enough time and if the distance does in fact ruin the relationship, I will never stop regretting that ignorance. I can’t let him be the one that gets away, he’s the love of my life. I have hope though. Distance is just a number, love is everything else.
