Lately I've become disenchanted with the notion of *rules* and how they apply to *love*. Perhaps I am biased in that my relationship began non-traditionally, and is currently healthy and strong. Perhaps I am biased because some of my new friends are in less-than-ideal romantic situations and more in love than some married couples I know. Perhaps I am biased because I think some people are just jealous freaks of nature who need to mind their own business. I'm happy. There, I said it. I am happy. I'm with a loving, caring, and amazing man who treats me right. We have a great life that can only get better.
And you know what? I can proudly say that I didn't let the confines of social opinion determine who I could and couldn't love. I didn't let social opinion determine when we could and could not move in together. It is nice to take a breather and relax and realize that the lingering doubts and guilt about my relationship stem from nothing more than what other people might think. And that is just stupid of me to allow any sort of outside perspective muddy what we have within these walls.
Like Brandon and I discussed. No two people in this world live the same life. We don't die the same death, we aren't born the same way. Why in the world would we expect everyone to LOVE the same way? Each relationship will have its own beginning and own ending. And long as the middle was filled with love, hope, and respect, then I truly believe there is no right or wrong way to begin a relationship. Sure, people may roll their eyes and laugh at us when we tell them we met through World of Warcraft. I really stopped caring. We're happy. Billions of people in this world, what are the chances I'd meet someone like Brandon in a bar in Chicago, or Greene County, IL? Zero, the chances are zero. There is no one else like him on this planet. I consider myself lucky to have found him, even if society deems it "less than ideal".
On to other news: I've been cooking since we've been here. We've had porkchops and mashed potatoes, spaghetti and meatballs, and tonight we're doing meatloaf and cheesy potatoes. He eats what I make, and he appreciates it. He'll NEVER know how much that means to me that he says thank you, and he means it. I love you Bee-Dub.

There's nothing more awesome than preparing food from the heart and having the other person say they like it & appreciate it! Really makes cooking all the more enjoyable.
nice blog.
If I let social rules determine who I could fall in love with, I'd be right fucked. My soul-mate is 7 years younger than me, we met in an online game and we're from opposite classes and opposite ends of the planet. When you fall in love, you just have to roll with it. In the end, a healthy, solid relationship built on real love is all that matters.
