So I can honestly sit here and say that times before I thought I was “falling in love” but not until now, in the relationship that I am in now, do I really know what it feels like. It’s that feeling that sometimes takes your breath away, the feeling where when I say “I love you so much” and it still doesn’t feel like enough. It’s waking up and going to bed next to him with a smile on my face. He really is the person I’ve been waiting to meet. He loves me for me, really. The good, the bad, curly hair or straight, sundress or pajamas, make up or clean face, he looks at me like the sun shines from my ass. I am officially going to South America, where he is from, in August to meet his family and to see where he is from. Never did I think I would work on a cruise ship, never did I think I would fall madly in love, and never did I think I would travel the way I am.
I’m happy. I’m in love. That is all.
Love life, and it will love you back.
seven7seconds asked: Saw your post the other day. Sounds like you're having an amazing time! Can't wait to hear more about it when you're back :)
I really am enjoying myself. It has it’s ups and downs, but so does every job. I look forward to posting more at home and uploading some pictures of new friends and my adventures! It’s been one exhausting blast!
I’m sitting at a restaurant in Nassau, Bahamas and realizing so many things. How I am so beyond excited to see my friends and family in two months, how I believe my future is so bright just because of this experience. I know I can do anything. I know how to take chances because of this. I know what and who is valuable in my life now.
I’m also realizing that people come and go. Not only at home, but on this ship. You meet someone, and then like that, they are packing and leaving. Never knowing if you will see that face again. I feel that way about people at home as well. I know who I will spend my time with and who I wont. It’s a sad feeling, really, but it’s another stage of growing. Realizing that people come and go and you can’t sit and dwell.
Life is beautiful, really. So many beautiful people and places. I won’t stop traveling and I won’t stop meeting new faces and hearing new stories.
Wake up and live life. Take chances. Figure it all out.
Well, I am four months down and I have two months left.
So much has happened in the past four months. Some bad things, but also, some absolutely amazing things.
I have made some life long friends, I have visited great places, I have grown up, I have fallen in love, I have realized what it is like to live.
I have decided that I will do another contract as a social host this time. I love this.
When I get home, I will definitely post lots of big things that have happened. This is just a little note to let those who care, know what is going on.
Love life. That is all.
