So it's been said officially almost a week ago. The L-word is out in the open now. Growing up media has always run the same scenario where one person asks another "how do you know when you're in love?". The response? "You'll know." And that's the thing, I bought the theory that when you fall in love a light bulb goes off to let you know that you are in love.
Everyone seems to think we said that word a long time ago but honestly I was waiting for the light bulb. I knew I cared about him, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him but I kept waiting for the "you'll know" moment. And what I realized is that there was no moment because on some level that feeling has always been there.
And now I've said it and I don't feel any different; it hasn't been life changing or enlightening. But I'm happy he knows. It took me 29 years to say it to someone in a romantic way for the first time, and it took me 29 years to hear a man say it to me. In the end, the 29 year wait was totally worth it.
It still blows my mind how much my life has changed in less than 12 months time.
