There will never be anyone who loves you like how much I do; this much I can promise you.
_________________________________________________________
2012 was a year of love, essentially. Both the cutthroat hurt that plunged my life into a hole I thought I would never be able to crawl out of, and the kind that's just made of giddy effervescence and giggling madly having hand-squeezing competitions till it aches (but it's okay because we're kids, together.)
What? I never thought I would end up having to write that in a "[Insert year] in review" post too. Don't give me that look.
In retrospect, I'm glad that God put two people in my life - one to help me learn the value of words and feelings, taking something and someone for granted and how love stemmed from infatuation and almost instantaneously [words coming into play, again] spawns into something so terribly hurtful; and the other, who is my "now and hopefully, forever" to channel everything that I've learned in a positive direction.
Oh dear mother of bacon, that sounded so weird. Paraphrasing it would probably just turn this whole post into an ordeal cheesier than pecorino, which I hear is delish by the way.
Of course, I'm not going to forget that love comes in all forms. My family has remained steadfast and strong despite all the arguments and fall-outs. To boot, my parents will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this year and I can't be any happier for them. They've grown so much with each other and in spirituality. They went through hell when my brother died and of course, I know that it still lingers in their mind but by God's grace, they came out of it and I can only pray that they will never have to experience something that devastating again. The amount of love, patience and strength I see radiating in and from them not only turns me envious [Admittedly, haha], but encouraged to try and foster all those traits.
I can only hope that I'd find happiness like that in 50 years to come.
