His name starts with an E, just like mine, but his sounds prettier. I never imagined finding the love of my life at 20. Feels kinda illegal. Like, it’s a little too early. I genuinely thought I’d be single for a lot longer, maybe until my late 30s or sometime before my first gray pops out if—I was lucky enough.
Honestly, tho, I'd already made peace with the idea of living alone, surrounded by 100 rescued cats who'd eventually meow over my dead body at 35. Well, that's a bit too dramatic, but hey, life had other plans. I met him.
I'd been with a couple of different guys before. Most of them said I was 'too much.' Too complicated, too emotional, too something. And for a while, I believed them. I mean, none of my past relationships ever made it past four months. But here I am now, six months in, and for the first time I'm starting to think... maybe they were wrong. Maybe it wasn't me, maybe we just weren't a good match.
And I know this might sound a little strange, especially to people who are more familiar with the old-school dating style where the guy's supposed to make the first move, but I was the one who went for it (he still won't admit it BTW).
But honestly, though, he checked every single box my exes didn't even come close to. He had everything I ever wanted in a man. So, there's no absolute way was I just gonna sit there and let him slip through my fingers. Not even a chance.

I still can't believe how lucky I am sometime. I mean, to be with the most beautiful soul I've ever known? The way he makes me feel seen, safe, and loved in a way no one ever has. He slowly washed away my fears about starting a family, about having kids, about building something real.
Isn't it funny how life works? You think you've got it all figured out, then one person walks in and suddenly everything starts making sense.
If our love story was a movie, one of Martin Garrix’s songs that I used as the tittle of this post, would definitely be played over the end credits.
And I don't know what my future holds, but if it's with him, I think I'll be just fine.
