how time distorts things. just just 4 and a half months into my new life here in Charleston and already ive found a relationship. as if fate as smiled upon me once again (for now), i have met the always amazing Ethan Farmer. a nice southern boy, just as i dreamed about before moving here. so sweet, i feel so lucky. always opening doors, loves taking me out to dinner. so understanding and kind. funny. i feel so comfortable with him.

we met in the kickball league i joined with my coworkers from Wild Dunes. one too many vodka punches at the Royal American after a game had me drunkenly hitting on him. a few dates later we were inseperable. a month in, we make it official (to my resistance, i tell him how afraid of commitment i am). now i couldnt be happier, honestly. he always makes me smile. i love being around him. hes so patient, chill. he always wants to take the time to actually listen to me. we've grown close.

he stares into my eyes and i press my lips tight together to not let the 'i love you' escape. i'm quick to fall for someone who has a fear of commitment. i know happiness when i feel it and i cant let it get away. i throw myself into it and enjoy it to the fullest. whether it lasts a lifetime, or just a few months, i am HAPPY.
