I appreciate all the support from each and every one of you. I am doing better than I was but I am still hopelessly in love with him. I just can't shake the feeling that he is "the one" for me. I know that that probably scares him but I am willing to give him all the time that he needs to be sure about me. I can understand that settling down with a person could be very overwhelming when that person isn't quite sure what they want out of life just yet. I will give him all the time in the world if need be. I also know that some people do not have the greatest opinion of him. That's ok as well. How they see him is different from how I see him. He is, overall, everything that I've wanted in a guy. We all have our ups and downs, all have our own battles to fight (sometimes with even ourselves), are not always understood by everyone, and not always realize what we need/want out of life to ensure our happiness. I've learned some things from this relationship. Some might not sound very good but here's what I've learned:

1. It's ok to be somewhat selfish. You gotta find what makes you happy and stick with it.
2. Compromise should not come from just one side.
3. Speaking your mind can be good or bad but the truth is always the best option.
4. Sometimes, hope is the only thing we have and it is worth keeping whether things pan out or not.
5. When you are really in love, you'll know it and not want to let go of it.
6. The small things in life really do matter just as much as the bigger things.
7. Doubt can be a murderer.
8. A lot can be said in a smile and even more can be said in tears.
9. Anything worth putting your heart into is worth fighting for.
10. Obsession only leads to more insecurity and worry.
11. Worry will not make you live any longer.
