My first relationship taught me a lot on how I wanted in life and it was the ones that I cherished the most. I never knew that once I fell in a love with a 17 years old boy would gave me this immense impact up until now.
Throughout the years of being together, the ups and downs plus our long-distance relationship was a struggle for me. I learned to be patience, I learned to forgive, I learned to stay strong, I learned to be who I am, I learned to accept the flaws and weaknesses of him, I learned to appreciate him more, and I even learned to be a better me. But most important thing was, I feel safe with him.
I think the hardest part was our different beliefs that leads us to where we are now. Although, we are different, we never ever fight about who is right nor wrong. It was a beautiful relationship I could say. There were many values inside that can be learn. Not toxic not whatsoever. Here's an example. Sitting in a restaurant together, I would always asked him to lead the prayer before we eat. I bow down while he recite the prayer with his hands up.
Furthermore, we also shared stories of our own beliefs like getting to know both religions, the differences, the similarities and so on which I think it was delightful. To be honest, I really miss our moments together. It's always been so special and exquisite bond.
20 years later, still talking about our moments together even though the universe seemed to envy us too much but we still here together. Aren't we love?
