"The important things in life aren't things"




Things have been quite tough recently. I've not been enjoying work, I've got myself all worked up and stressed about things, my weight loss has really slowed down and everything has got on top of me.

The one thing that has kept me going is Stephen. He's made me realise that there's more important things in life than work or money or petty arguments with people. He's made me realise that the fact that we love each other and make each other smile and laugh is, in fact, more important than any of that.

Last night, after work, I drove to see him. I walked through the door and burst into tears. He just held me and rubbed my back. He wrapped his big strong arms around me and didn't say anything. He didn't try to talk or tell me everything would be alright. He didn't need to. Just holding me and letting me cry meant that I knew that everything would be alright.

Within 10 minutes he'd made me laugh. I'd found the funny side of life and my problems and troubles had melted away. For a few hours at least.

Next week we're going to Glastonbury festival. I can spend seven days away from work, away from life, living in a field, enjoying new experiences and laughing with friends and more importantly, being with one of the most amazing men I've ever met xxxxxx
