I left myself about a dozen voicemails, practicing playing and signing Fly me to the Moon and figuring out where to position the phone so the arrangement could be heard.
Then I finally left her an audiocard voicemail. On Valentine's Day. (We had to be apart for that year.)
(It worked.)

| I thought that by being open and honest with someone and telling them how you felt was a good thing.
I told a girl I had been dating how I felt about her and all I got in the end was rejection.
It hurt at the time. It still stings sometimes.
Perhaps I didn't tell her in quite the right way, but at least I told her. At least I did something. At least I got that part right.

I got married.
I never thought I would, not really... at least not when I was one day away from being 21.
I never thought I could stand up to the doubts and scepticism and fears my family and friends had about our decision.
I never thought I would grow up, buy a car, have a real wedding, own a real home, and have seven cats.
Oh, and did I mention finding a man so intelligent and intense, gentle and perceptive, with the loudest belly-laugh you've ever heard?
I never thought I'd let anyone in. Or that someone could know me, really know me, and still love me.
But I did.
And so, I got married.

| I resolved to work at it, and work hard. Because I love him so much, and it's worth it. I wish Ben would have known that before he got married. It's never, ever easy. It's hard work. But it is worth it. Ben, if you love her, maybe it's not too late--is it worth working for?

| I actually embarked on a career. After being underemployed for more than a decade she said - Get a real job, and I'll be serious. I started teaching which I've done ever since. My wife changed my life forever.

i screwed up all my courage to tell him that I loved him.
his response was, "No. You did not just say that."
yeah. that hurt in all new ways.
now I just try to love my friends well, and express it often. and they don't refuse my love, for which I love them even more.

| what did i do for love?
I let go.
i didn't let go for his sake, so he could go run around and have fun. I let go for my sake. I knew if i held on to him, when he didn't want me to, i would spend forever regretting our relationship.
So i picked up my heart, let him go and went on with my life.
and now i have found true love with another man--a man so perfect that he must have been waiting for me to let go....
we're getting married next fall
