Rewind to May 17th of 2015, I had received a message from Clifford on
Facebook . The message simply read : “I love your pictures and would
like to get to know you some more” my response : Thanks but no thanks.
His response : ” ok no worries “
The year prior, I had just gotten out of a 6 year tumultuous rela-
tionship and was pretty much enjoying my solitude therefore I was not
interested in getting back in the dating game .
I logged out of Facebook to take a nap since I was exhausted from
work. I usually took a nap after work since my job at the time was
mentally taxing . I could usually take a nap without issue however
this time around I kept tossing and turning. Something kept telling me to
log back on fb to apologize to cliff for being harsh. I tried to ignore
that Voice but my efforts were to no avail. I logged back on fb , I sent
him a message apologizing and his response was absolutely gracious. I
was expecting him to be a complete jerk as most men would have been
but he turned out to be a complete gentleman. From that day forward ,
We became the best of friends. we spoke daily ; He would give me dat-
ing advice and warn me of men out there. Even though , he would give
me dating advise ; I could send some bitterness in his voice. He had such
a negative disposition towards women which gave me the inclination that
his past relationship didn’t end too well either. I did my best to brush
it off but over the course of time I just couldn’t take it much longer .
I had to be transparent and tell him that I didn’t appreciate his nega-
tive attitude towards women . Surprisingly he was very receptive and
we had an open dialogue about his disposition which led him to open up
about his past .
He never spoke ill of women ever again ; well not to me at least lol
3 months went by ; he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yesssss .
That same month I was going to Jamaica for 7 days with my best friend
. So The day before my departure, he came over to help me pack and
that’s when he uttered the 3 words.. “I love you “
It took me by surprise because I didn’t expect him to say it so soon
I was also surprised because he felt the same way I did
I just never mustered the courage to tell him so it was comforting to
know that we were on the same page. I left for Jamaica for 7 long days
I thought about him the entire time I was gone . I couldn’t wait to re-
turn to him.
Upon my return , we have been inseparable ever since.
This journey has been nothing short of a roller coaster . It has been
amazing but has also had its rough patches . We have experienced and
overcame a great deal of obstacles . There were times I didn’t think we
were going to make it , there were times where I called it quits because
I just had no more fight in me.
