Day 17

So, today I was sitting in my developmental psychology class, and we were talking about the various stages in life and how when one reaches young adult hood, that is the time they generally look for their partner in life. Someone they can depend on and be intimate with, but how you can't really attain true intimacy with someone until you really have figured out your own identity. It made me think of my life and all the ups and downs I've been through. I have been deceived, disrespected, and mistreated in the past, but it wasn't until I really figured out who I was that I found my true love. I am so grateful to have found Alfredo. He has been such an amazing partner to me and I am beyond happy that he is a part of my life. I think about myself and how I am not really working much in order to go to school full-time and how he has given me the sense of security to know that I will be ok doing that. I don't have to worry about him leaving me to fend for myself - I know I have his support and I am so incredibly grateful for the sense of stability that allows me to devote the majority of my time to my schooling. Thank you so much, mi amor for being my Prince Charming and loving me and letting me take these few years to get the education I need to help provide a better life for us and our children. I love you!
