I still want to get married one day. I want to live in the city and have a glamrous job and lovely cool alternative friends (some of which I have already). I want to travel all over the world and fall deeply deeply in love.

Recently, a few of those dreams have disapeared. Relationships are not always easy and things don't turn out the way you hoped. And yes your life might not be full of happiness and love. Instead of lovely things and being financially secure you might find yourself unemployed and feeling like you can't have anything you want.

But I have my life with Emilie now, and even though it might not contain all those other things, (that I so wanted), it does contain her, and she is quite perfect. And every moment with her (even the middle of the night when I just want her to sleep) has a certain charm.

I will still have all those things one day. And now I have someone else in my life to share them with.
