Damn, I love him.

Before I met Lyndon, I dated a guy who was a heroin addict.

Yep, true story.

We were together for just a few months (officially) before I hit my breaking point and called it quits.

There were a loooot of 🚩’s with that relationship (which is a story for another day) and afterwards I did what any girl would do in that situation: I swore off boys for the summer.

I needed to figure out who I was and the kind of guy I wanted in my life for the long haul.

As fate would have it, that summer I worked at a summer camp, where I met Lyndon. But because I wasn’t interested in boys that summer, I kept my nose in a book, hung around the horse barn, and made multiple visits to the library during my off-hours.

Between leaving a toxic relationship and a few other things that had happened, I was doing a lot of healing that summer & largely chose to focus on myself. And wow, was it helpful to take that time for myself.

But as summer ended and the new school year began (we also went to the same college), Lyndon & I started getting to know each other more and realized we had a lot in common.

We started studying together (and my grades actually went up!), met each others families, went to the beach, hung out in the campus’ farm vehicles while he harvested fields for work, rode his motorbike around town as the smell of vineyards saturated the air, did the color run with friends, had deep conversations, became best friends, and fell in love.

And today marks 7 years of being married (together for 10). 🫶🏼

I’m so freaking grateful for Lyndon and the life we’ve built together because I know how different it would have been if I’d stayed in my previous relationship.

We may talk about business a lot over here but relationships is something close to my heart because of previously being in a toxic relationship and knowing what it conversely feels like to be in a healthy relationship.

No matter where you are in your relationship journey, just know that you are worthy of a healthy relationship that fully loves and supports you for all that you are. 💕
