Today has been a day of reaffirming my own being.

So, to make a long story short...while Steve has been a wonderful boyfriend, some things weren't going so well. I was so worried in the beginning that I wasn't ready to move on, but in the end it's his past life that's blocking this from continuing. But the relationship isn't a failure. I didn't fall down, I didn't lose myself...I am who I am. It's like I finally won, or something.

Me and Steve are still together, but we're just letting things cool down for awhile. I guess it just got too heavy too fast. That's not what summer flings are about, lol! I hope that we'll have nice relationship for the rest of the summer, and then part our ways and head back to our respective homes and remain good friends.

This summer has been a learning experience, a freeing experience, and a nice distraction. But it's time to start getting ready to head back home, and back to the reality I left behind there. But now I know who I am, and what I have to do...and I don't need affirmation from anyone else anymore. I'm self-satisfied.
