Always Anna

Over the weekend, the BF and I celebrated our five-year anniversary.  Or, as I’ve been calling it, the “Can you believe it’s been five years?” date.

Before the BF, I was… how do I put this nicely?  Let’s go with “easily bored.”  Relationships were not my priority - not when there was so much making out and partying and hanging out with my girlfriends to be done.  And, while I did attempt to have a “real relationship” a couple of times, it just didn’t work for me.  I felt smothered and trapped when the guy wanted to do romantic things.  I got sick of having to choose between spending time with a boy or with my girlfriends.  And I got really tired of talking about my feelings.

Somehow, with the BF, none of this has been an issue.  Maybe because we’re so much alike, with the same need for independence that a lot of people just don’t have.  We just get each other.   

I don’t usually post about the BF - he doesn’t want his life all over the internet.  But I just had to say this - I can’t imagine anyone in the world could make me as happy as he does.  And while I can’t believe that five years went by so quickly, I’m ecstatic that I’ve passed that time with him.
