The love hurdle I overcame

I don't discount anything that me and Peter shared. Peter was my first love and we were an epic fairytale event, and I know if we stayed together I would be torn in my happiness. I would have been torn between what I thought I wanted and what I truly needed. He wouldn't have been that happy if he had to change his whole life, daily actions, and beliefs for me either. People our generation are under a severe misconception that life are like the chic-flicks that we watch, but it isn't. Love shouldn't be this big struggle and war within yourself. The world we're living in today is already at war, love shouldn't be that hard. Loving Daryl was one of the easiest choices that I had to make. He first became my best friend and then slowly he became my lover.

Peter was a BIG part of my life, he help mold and craft me into the woman that I am today, he was my best friend for almost a year but what felt like years, and those emotional ties will take time to severe and those feelings will take time to wain. There are moments where I catch myself missing him...

Someone once told me that life is sorta like hiking a mountain. It's cloudy and we don't always know where we're going, we know the general direction of up and down and some of us know that we definitely want to get to the top no matter what it takes but most of us could never see quite beyond a couple of steps. Everytime we hit a plateau, we think we've reach the top. Yes, the view is spectacular but I was not at the top just yet. And that's what Peter was for me, he's was a plateau. It was a beautiful experience and a much needed life lesson, but he wasn't my summit. Now I have a clearer idea of what I want and need and what love and a relationship really could be, Daryl is my summit and with him I always feel like I'm on top of the world despite any and all circumstances. I simply love him.

His name is Daryl Woodfield. He's from Mapleton, UT. He is 24 currently going to BYU majoring in Asian Studies and Business. He served his mission in London, England, Mandarin speaking. He has brown hair blue eyes, is very tall 6'4". He is the fifth out of six kids. He's also one of my best friend. We could just spend hours with each other just talking to doing nothing, or doing everything. He makes me laugh, and he just gets me. He handles me really well, he understands the good, the bad, the ugly, and the crazy sides of me. And we are on the same level spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically (but not literally physically since he's a foot taller). Most importantly, I know without a doubt that it's the right thing to do. He's not just the guy I want to be with, he's also the guy I know I should be with. So there you go, that's the huge love hurdle that I overcame.
