A Special Thanksgiving What Am I Thankful Post

A long, confusing titles suits what this blog is about. I am thankful for a lot of things. I'm thankful for my family, and for my friends. But what I am thankful for most is finally having the strength to tell the girl that I've crushed on since my senior year in high school how I feel. And for her to say, "I like you too." That was probably the most relieving moment in my life. So far I don't know how much she understands what she means to me, but I can see the influence I've had on her. I kept her up 3 nights in a row till 5 a.m. It was the first night that I realized that basically no girl would do this and not like the guy as more than a friend. So i did tell her how I felt the next night, right before she went to bed. Then that afternoon we talked about it. She wants to take it slow. Thank you, God! That's exactly what I wanted. Jumping into things without taking it slow screws everything up. Let's be grown ups and go on dates, then see where we go from there. Long distance might be a problem. I don't care about distance. I know it's hard, but relationships are hard anyways. We can figure it out. It's extremely exciting to know that there is that ray of hope, finally. Those frustrating prayers that were finally answered. The sleepless nights of 'why me?!' gone in a blink of an eye. I want her more than anything, but if it doesn't work out like I really, truely hope it does, then so be it. At least I can say I finally dated the girl of my dreams.
