“Thanks Nathan. That is your name, right?!”
“It sure is!”
Nathan and I met in December 2006 by pure chance. We were both members of an art community and I decided to create a different account one morning. By coincidence, Nathan was busy greeting new members who had signed up within the past 5 minutes, so of course, my new account was on the list which he came to greet. I replied a simple, “Thank you” and nothing more was said. A few days later, I went back to his page to wish him a “Happy Christmas” and he kindly wished me one back. We lost contact until March 2007 when he came to comment on one of my photos of my blossom tree. I thanked him, saying his name and then asking if that was correct. He said it was. We chatted every day since then and became the best of friends. In him I found someone really fun who genuinely wanted to know about my life. Then it happened, on May 20th 2007, we admitted those growing feelings for one another. We spent every day wishing to be together physically, so we said we’d spend Christmas together. We did. We fell even more in love, and Nathan left back to Australia for 7 months when I decided to fly out there to join him for 2 months before returning to London with him following closely behind. Here we are, living in our own little place now and making huge steps towards our future together.
It’s funny how you never know where a year will take you. Last year, I never even thought that in a year’s time, I’d be sitting in this bed with a bouquet of roses next to me, a glass of coke and a day full of smiles and fun. I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half already! It’s making me feel really old, and I don’t want to be that old just yet! It’s fun being young and looking forward to all the good things to come instead of wishing all that time away just to get what you want and where you want to be.

Have a wonderful Thursday!
Until next time.
