“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer

Walking away from a previous relationship can cause us to place guards around ourself and our heart. We both were doing that when we first began and though it wasn't fair to each other to do, we wouldn't learn that until our first argument. I can't even remember the topic of the argument (whoever does?) but I remember the way we looked at each other and how it felt to not be in sync with one another. It was loud, it was dark, and it was ugly words being thrown back and forth BUT it passed like every great storm that we'd ever faced in our lives.

We don't like to linger on the bad times because it's so much easier to tell about how happy we are and of course everybody wants to hear about love and happiness, the only problem is we can't forget our hardships and our stumbles because without those this would be a perfect love story and there would be no triumph or battle to overcome. We got through it but not alone, it was God and us sitting in a room after that fight and though neither one of us spoke a word, I think we both had been reassured that this was fixable..
