Final Exam Project:

Dear future significant other,

“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality. Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”

-Lawrence, D. H.

I have not yet to understand what the author of this quote originally meant by this, yet to me this intended that we should forever be growing. Remembering where we came from, and deeply embedding our roots and creating life from a life we’ve created together.  That we shouldn’t be satisfied with being above the surface with one another or secluding ourselves from everyone we hold dear in our life. Rather let’s be open to going out, being with our friends, and not becoming the couple that abandoned our friends because we couldn’t stand to be away from each other.  I want to have our own lives, but also have our own lives. Together and Apart.  Yet remembering that at the end of the day, we’ll be in bed, happy and joyous over the life we’ve created together.

In shift of tones, I just want you to know that I’m far from perfect. Really, really far. But, aside from that, I know for a fact that I will be everything you need. Not to sound conceded or cocky, I’ll make you feel like the most important person in the world. I’ll always try my best to make you smile. I’ll always try my best to make you happy. I’ll always try my best to be like a best friend to you. I’ll always put your happiness before mine. As the one I love, you will be my number 1 priority. Because I know, no matter how miserable my life would be, I know you will be there with me.

In return, I just ask for you not to break my heart. I can’t bear looking at you, but you’re looking at someone else.

I will love you. I will never look at anyone else but you. You’ll be my everything, and I won’t let anything ruin that. No matter how many times you tell me how you don’t deserve me or how you’re not perfect, I will always love you. I’ll embrace every imperfection that you may have and just love it. I’ll love every single thing about you. I will always try my best not to hurt you in any way.

I know sometimes I’ll lose faith. I know that for a fact. I’ll get mad or I’ll get sad. But at the end of the day, I’ll be back to my normal hyper self. The only reason I do this is because I’m insecure. I don’t want another letdown because of my mistakes, so I get freaked out. I just want you to be able to make me feel like… those insecurities is just another blessing. I can’t do that without you… I can’t.

I will always want to be with you. I just don’t want you losing faith in me. I promise you, I’ll try my hardest to be the best you’ll ever have. No matter what hardships may come our way, I’ll always fight my way back to you. It may be hard, but I know it will be worth it in a long shot.

So, I’ll see you later future significant other.

Who knows?

Maybe I already met you.
