in your eyes

It's hard to put love into words. It's a feeling unlike any other and though you can feel it many times over, it's never the same feeling each time. It's evolving, ever-changing, and it can be the most beautiful thing in the world when you find the right person to give it to and share it with.

I've been in show business since I was 7 years old. Being in the spotlight, your whole life (especially your love life) is put on display for everyone to watch as it unfolds. You can never really do much without getting ridiculed for one decision or another. It's also really hard to find someone that isn't going to use you because of your fame. Finding someone in the business that you have an almost instant connection with is rare, but you know that once you've found it, it's something so special.

If you'd asked me two years ago when I met Harry if I could see myself where I am right now with him by my side, I would've honestly said no. I was 19 years old and still in my bad boy phase. I thought he was a nice guy. Despite my first impression of him, he had a reputation. He was a ladies man (or so they said) and everyone said he would break my heart, but I saw a different side of him than what Hollywood saw. I thought of it like a challenge almost, to prove a point that he wasn't all that bad, but I never once thought it would last as long as it has.

There is something about Harry that is intoxicating. Once you've gotten a taste of him, you just can't get enough. I found myself constantly wanting to be around him and then before I knew it, we were dating. Now we're quickly approaching our two year anniversary and that in itself is crazy to me.

Life throws some curve balls your way every once in awhile. Never did I think I would get to this point in my career, but I know that if I hadn't, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet the third most amazing man in my life (only third to my two papas). For that, I'm eternally grateful.

I'm forever grateful that I took that challenge.
