So me and my BF are going steady and is coming up for six months now. Up to date it has been the most real six months for me, ever. My BF is wonderful. He surprises me with small but significant sayings and gestures time and again. I admire him so much. I am grateful to have him in my life. Still have to break the news to my parents. My mom has met my BF on a few occasions. I have also met his parents recently and feel very "welcomed" in their presence. Since meeting him my life priorities have changed dramatically. I am more focussed on the now and more realistic goals. Im focussed on us.
