You should keep your options open and just be friends."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I had such a difficult conversation with mom this morning.&amp;nbsp; She says she isn`t completely against my relationship with william but she wants us to just be friends for now.&amp;nbsp; She actually met him and made me talk to him when we were at his house, which is pretty ironic, so she knows he`s a nice, hard-working, and respectful guy.&amp;nbsp; But she still doubts what he feels for me, especially because we only spend time together for very few days.&amp;nbsp; Her biggest fear is that he won`t be able to support me if me and him get as serious as marriage.&amp;nbsp; She wants me to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;have &lt;/span&gt;the best and be &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;with &lt;/span&gt;the best so she wants me to keep my options open--- hence the just being friends suggestion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She doesn`t understand that I don`t need any other option; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;all i want is him&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At first I was pretty hesitant starting a relationship with him also.&amp;nbsp; Just meeting him and only spending two days for quality time together is a huge risk to start anything.&amp;nbsp; But in time, he`s proven himself to me and I believe every word he tells me.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In my heart, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I don`t think I`ll ever find anyone who can love me the way he does&lt;/span&gt;-- No one ever has and no one ever will.&lt;/span&gt; I know life will be hard if my future is with him, but I don`t mind being the "dominant provider" in the family.&amp;nbsp; I understand my mother`s worry but after talking to william, I know most of his lifestory. (I appreciate his honestly and openness, that`s how he earned my trust.)&amp;nbsp; I know how hard he`s been working and all the sacrifices he made for others.&amp;nbsp; For once, I want to be the one to be somebody to take care of him.&amp;nbsp; Besides, it`s not like he`s gonna bum around while I do everything.&amp;nbsp; He`s saving up money to go back to school and then work abroad-- mostly for my sake.&amp;nbsp; I don`t even know where to begin to thank him for everything he`s doing just to make our relationship work.&amp;nbsp; I`m aware it`ll be hard but I know I can overcome anything with him by my side.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My friend who is in a long distance relationship was having troubles with his girlfriend.&amp;nbsp; Then he asked me, "How are you able to do it?&amp;nbsp; You make it seem so simple."&lt;br&gt;The answer was easy.&amp;nbsp; I said, "It`s because I have william."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It really hurt me to hear my mom say things like she just won`t approve.&amp;nbsp; I wish she understood the lengths william is willing to go for me.&amp;nbsp; And yes, it`s true I didn`t get to spend enough time with him but the time spend together was magical.&amp;nbsp; I`m not one to just give my love freely, I learned from my past mistakes.&amp;nbsp; Somehow, he ended up winning my heart.&amp;nbsp; Even &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I`m&lt;/span&gt; surprised. He`s trying so hard to warm up to my parent`s, even writing a letter in hopes they won`t hate him, yet it`s like it`ll mean nothing to them.&amp;nbsp; I really hope they start to open their minds and heart to him, at least little by little.&amp;nbsp; He`s different, I wish they knew that as well as I do.&amp;nbsp; I`ve never met anyone like him.&amp;nbsp; I`ve &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;never&lt;/span&gt; been as happy as the past 6+months with him and I don`t think I can ever feel this way with anyone else.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This isn`t just a simple phase.&amp;nbsp; I can choose to trust him or not but I really have no reason to doubt him anymore.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;I`m madly and deeply in love with a boy and his name is william aromin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/685447621/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, November 24, 2008</title><link>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/683497613/item/</link><guid>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/683497613/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Nov 2008 23:18:42 GMT</pubDate><description>school is really stressing me out. i`m terrified that i`m going to fail so many classes. if that happens, i might lose my scholarship and then i wouldn`t know how i could finish my degree in time before i transfer. i don`t know what`s wrong with me. i`ve never felt this stupid before. -__-"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i wish this semester was over already.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/683497613/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, November 03, 2008</title><link>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/680889412/item/</link><guid>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/680889412/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:02:41 GMT</pubDate><description>he sees my weak points and seeks to &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;understand&lt;/span&gt; them. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;he gives me a love as unexplainable as he is.&lt;/span&gt; i`ve never met anyone like him.&amp;nbsp; he is beyond amazing and far more than incredible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;i`m probably the luckiest person alive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/680889412/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, November 02, 2008</title><link>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/680643756/item/</link><guid>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/680643756/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Nov 2008 04:52:10 GMT</pubDate><description>ugh. this is the last thing i need to be happening in my life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;yesterday, i was reminded of why i can`t stand the kind of person i am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;i really wish i could talk to him.&amp;nbsp; he is everything to me.&amp;nbsp; i would do anything for this boy.&amp;nbsp; anything he asks of me, i do it in a heartbeat.&amp;nbsp; if i can make him smile, suddenly everything i`m slaving myself over becomes &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;worth it&lt;/span&gt; just for those few seconds.&amp;nbsp; it`s insane how much he means to me.&amp;nbsp; i love him more than i have ever found a way to say.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/680643756/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, October 20, 2008</title><link>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/679099483/item/</link><guid>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/679099483/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:02:19 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;dear best friend,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;you deserve to have happiness that lasts &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;now&lt;/span&gt; until the &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;long-run&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; please don`t settle for anything less.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i`m praying you find it, i really do. i probably didn`t help make things any better and i`m very, very sorry. just know i`m rooting for whatever decision you choose to make.&amp;nbsp; i`ll always be in your side.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;love,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;your number one fan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/679099483/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, October 19, 2008</title><link>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/678858417/item/</link><guid>http://melaniexpearl.xanga.com/678858417/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2008 02:23:49 GMT</pubDate><description>"I've never felt this before; because of you I get to experience being as happy
