I tried to write a meaningful message to get this across but I am bad with words so I won't be flowery about it: I've only seen divorcees, abusive relationships, and unhealthy relationships in my life and I was always cynical about the concept of romance because of it but now after seeing you and your boyfriend for a while on the internet I've started to think love is not an impossibility, so thank you.
I am both deeply honored Jazor and I could be a beacon of a healthy, stable relationship for you and everyone else who has said they love us being so in love, but also sad. I am extremely fortunate enough that my parents are still married and very much in love. I had excellent role models to display what a good relationship is like, and I know not everyone has that. So I want to provide some insight and hope to you and anyone else who needs it because love is for anyone who wants it.
Relationships, especially romantic ones, are hard. The longer they last, more complications can arise. Jazor and I have been together for 6 ½ years now. That entire time has been long distance. That in of itself is really hard. I know the point has been hammered in by so many people far wiser and more experienced than myself, but communication is vital to any relationship, especially romantic. Not key, but vital. It cannot live and thrive without it. I am not the same person I was when we started going steady. Nor is he. And that’s good, I wouldn’t want to be. Being able to grow as a person and a couple is amazing, especially when you support each other. But that takes strong and open communication to explain that. Many relationships don’t last because people grow into a different version of themselves and now that couple is no longer compatible. That’s okay.I hope you don’t shut yourself off from romance from the negative displays of relationships you’ve witnessed. Romance means different things to different people, so flowers may not be your jam, but your partner ordering a large fry because they know you will eventually steal some and they’re preemptively sharing? OH NO I’M SWOONING LIKE A VICTORIAN MAIDEN WRACKED WITH CONSUMPTION. Yes that is something Jazor does. Also the flowers thing. Flowers are just nice.
