“This photograph is my proof. There was that afternoon, when things were still good between us, and she embraced me, and we were so happy. It did happen. She did love me. Look for yourself.” 

This is my proof, Duane Michals, 1974

I have heard it’s silly to put so much faith into your first relationship, and frankly, it scares the shit out of me. I get scared that, of course, this kid I met in highschool might grow up and away and come to no longer love me one day. But you know what? I’m happy now. I’m in love now, and I do not see it going away with the drop of a dime or the turn of the year. One day, it very well might—it would take a lot, but the world has been known to give you a lot. I have my proof. No matter what my future looks like, I do not want to regret being happy. I am happy now.
