I just finished reading a book and like all works of literature, it sent me spiraling on a journey of self discovery.
On this journey I came to a realization.
I used to think myself averse to the idea of love and marriage.
Maybe that's true, my journey hasn't led me to those answers yet.
But this I have come to know.
That when I do fall in love I want to love them enough to want to marry them.
And that when the time comes, I want to know that they love me enough to marry me.
To have so much assurance in our love that I know they'll say yes to me before I even ask them to marry me.
But until I find that, I'll guard my heart jealously and with the fierceness of a thousand warriors.
