We met when he contacted me on Myspace 8 years ago. This was while we were still Juniors in high school. We immediately started talking on the phone everyday and it was the perfect relationship, one that made us honestly consider each other "soulmates". I know that sounds like the most cheesy, mushy idealistic thing ever, but it's hard to grasp if people haven't been in the situation. Because we were so young at the time, we figured it wasn't realistic to be in a long distance relationship, so we sort of decided to go separate ways in the sense of trying to date other people in our own locations. We both stayed in contact during these other relationships and our feelings never really left us. But every time one of us was single, the other was in a relationship. It seemed as if the timing was never going to be right to be back together, but we had always talked about it and hoped that fate would reach us. Finally, after 8 years, we were both free from our other relationships, much older, accomplished and ready for bigger decisions. We decided to try again, and have been perfect ever since. Because we were there for each other even during other relationships, the jealousy that comes with normal beginning relationships wasn't there. We both learned so many lessons from being with other people that we knew we wouldn't make those mistakes with each other. Our relationships with other people actually paralleled each others so we were learning the same lessons at the same time. It wasn't until just this past week that we officially met in person, and it was more incredible than we ever could have imagined. For four years, he had been telling me about this music festival Wakarusa that he attends every year, and I finally got the courage to go. We spent an entire week together, and I can't even begin to describe the happiness and pure love that never left the entire time. This video only shows the beginning, and I know there are people out there who are skeptics and cynics, who only have room in their hearts for judgement, but any people that we can inspire with our story, is well worth it. The idea of catfishing has become such a huge stereotype and fear, and although there are those situations, this was not one of them. Our plans for the future: He is moving to be with me, which is a huge step as he has lived in Arkansas his whole life. From then on, our relationship is only going to progress until we get married. :) Time and distance didn't tear us apart, so nothing is left but to be together.
