Some relationships feel like a wildfire-they’re powerful and compelling and majestic and dangerous and have the capability to burn you before you even realize you’ve been consumed…..some relationships feel like a hearth fire-they’re solid and stable and cozy and nourishing
The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
October 14, 2018 was the first time we met. You magically appeared in my life when you were the only one who can keep a conversation flowing because we found out we had some similar interests and some things we could inspire each other. The great thing was that we were on the same page about our current career situation and we both were not looking to commit to a serious relationship. We both agreed that we enjoyed each other’s company to do fun things and we wanted to do fun things together.
I know we’ve only known each other for two months and that it’s difficult to open up to each other, but I feel we’ve started to learn how to trust one another…or at least I’m learning to trust again. I’m also slowly improving my “going with the flow” in life. The scary part is that our unexpected story is basically like the story between Gabe and Lucy in ‘The Light We Lost’. Whenever we’re together, there’s so much passion between us. I feel infinite and invincible whenever you’re around. But I know that whatever we currently have is just temporary because we both are very ambitious people who have big dreams to change the world and help keep lives moving forward. Both our dreams are not disposable and I’m grateful to have met someone who understands my goals, ambitions, personality, and internal conflicts because we have similar thinking yet still have so much to learn from each other.
Before we agreed to just see where things lead us, you promised not to walk away without saying a word, without saying goodbye. Please keep your promise but go make your dream come true even if it does not involve me. But remember to always keep in touch and to keep me updated with the progress of your accomplishing your goals. No expectations but a short phone call, a text message, an email, or even a handwritten letter letting me know that you’re chasing your dream and making it come to reality because I will always support your dream. We cannot lose the light we currently have even if we’re not in a romantic relationship. I value our friendship the most and I’m truly happy that you just magically appeared in my life after knowing our timelines.
It’s December 29, 2018 and I want to wish you a happy 29th birthday. ♥ Thank you for everything and I hope our light continues to stay on, even in 2019.
