Dear Companions,
I've always been a much more mature child than all the other kids my age. But at least in front of him, he begged me to behave responsibly like a 25-year-old adult. I can't figure out why we are even in a relationship if he wants me to behave responsibly around him. What am I doing with him, really?
The most painful thing to go through in a relationship is realizing that after fighting those battles, at the end of the day, you have to fight a bigger one against the person you want to kiss and cuddle with. In a relationship, we fight with the world, not with one another; we fight and turn to each other for support, care and love.
He wanted me to act maturely, but he was blind to the fact that I act and think all day in front of this society, which expects me to behave in line with their expectations. He is the only one in front of whom I cannot act and who can reveal myself for who I really am.
I don't know what the future has in store for us, but for the time being, we are a couple, and I want this to be my best boyfriend ever. The best experience I've ever had is right now, in fact.
The fact that we both seem to be motivated by the same goals in this relationship makes me chuffed, despite the fact that the ways in which we both talk about things and try to communicate with one another are very different. Yet we eventually resolve our differences.
The day went off without a hitch, to be honest. I'll start taking regular lessons tomorrow. and I am trying to focus on my studies rather than my relationship during that time.
I'm going to stop there for now. We will shortly catch up.
