So if you've read any of my blog, you've probably seen the posts about what it's like to be alone. And those are probably still pretty good indications of what being alone can do to your mind. I was in a pretty dark place for a long time. I wasn't even sure I'd find anyone. Ever.
But I found someone. She is a friend I've known for over 6 years (7 maybe?) and we've gotten along well since the beginning, but at the time we met she was married to someone else. But he made a number of mistakes repeatedly, and even ignored his second and third chances... and she left him.
She and I gave a relationship a try, and it seemed to work... really well. And just recently, we got married. It's all felt like watching a movie in fast forward. It happened really fast. She moved in with me... and so did her child and dog. I have a step son. That's a weird thing to think about. I have a wife. That's also a weird thing to think about.
I almost feel like nothing has really changed. I feel like things have been this way for decades. But so much has changed. My priorities are so different. I have someone in life who loves me despite what I consider my odd personality. And I love her. As an engineer I had thought about love before and wondered how I could define it and quantify it... I wondered how a person could know when it was love. And now I just know. It's stupidly cliche, but I just know. I feel it when I look at her, and find that I'm smiling. I love her, and I feel so much happier in life with her in it.
Life is better, and I just wanted to share with whatever few people who read this blog that my life is better, and I don't think you'll see any more of those loneliness blog posts from me.
