Tristan

Yes, I realize that this blog is two days late. Yes, I know I have no excuse for this considering that this blog has been completed since September, and it's my fault for erasing half of it last minute and then not knowing what to write to replace all the stuff I erased. And yes, I am a procrastinator. I need to accept this fact and move on.

First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read my often meaningless rants published here every Friday at noon. It's been fun thinking of something funny and interesting to write about every week, and then to hear what you guys think of it. I've had funny blogs, weird blogs, blogs that were a failed attempt at being blogs, and so many other blogs constructed to get different reactions from different people. That's the goal of the writer after all, to connect to whoever may happen on my words. This week, however, might be among the most special of blogs.

I've actually been working on this blog since mid September, which should tell you how important this is to me. I've written and re-written it, spent countless hours thinking of the right way to word it, and I've even prayed about how to tell the world about this. And now, ladies and gentleman, I've finally published it.

You may have heard me mention Tristan. He's been my friend since February-ish, and my good friend since April. Some others may have heard that there was a special boy in my life. Still others probably saw that I changed my relationship status on Facebook from “single” to “in a relationship”. The rest of you heard nothing, and I'm sorry for that. Well, Tristan and the special boy are one and the same. There's been something much bigger than friendship between us since mid July. For four months, he's been more than anyone has ever been to me in my entire life. I don't care for the term “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”, but most people would call it that. So I'll just say it: we've been in a relationship for four months now.

It's been the most wonderful four months of my life, to say the least. He's taught me so much in such a short amount of time. I've written about how proud I was to be single, and how serious I take relationships, so you probably understand how I feel about him. Since the day he told me how he felt for me, I haven't stopped praying about him. I've never been more sure of something in my life when I tell you that God gave Tristan to me, and I couldn't be more blessed. Sure, I've been praying for the right guy to come along, but Tristan is so much better than anything I'd imagined. It's like God was telling me this whole time, “Just wait Selena, and see the crazy boy I have planned for you.”

I don't want to say too much and make this blog sound stupid, but I mean it when I say that there is no other person on the face of the earth that's even half as perfect as he is. No one has made me smile or laugh as much as he has. No one has brought such joy into my life apart from Jesus than Tristan has. No one is a better friend than he is, and no matter what happens in the months and years that follow this day, I know he'll always be my best friend. He's changed my life from the inside out. I have a new purpose, a new goal, something so intensely amazing it can outshine the darkest of nights. I love Tristan. I love him with all my being, and I will love him for the rest of my life.

So, yep. That's all I have to say. I figured it was only fair if I let you guys know, because there's only a handful of people out there who were aware of this phenomenon. I don't want to answer too many questions, because I know you lovely readers are probably bursting with things you'd like to know about me and Tristan. Feel free to comment, but I'm not required to answer anything I don't feel like answering, after all it's my blog. :P

Have a wonderful day, and try to recover from that turkey coma you're in okay?
