I'm still working on that I think. I'm ready to make the huge commitment of marrying this girl I just need to get some things straight and make it so she KNOWS that I'm ready for that and she doesn't have to worry. But little things I've given up? Going out to the club mostly. I barely go anymore and if I do it's with a bunch of married couples. I don't have a desire for anything but making her happy and whatever I have to give up, now or in the future, I will. For us.

Of course I do, but I don't WANT to. Nobody compares to you baby girl and honestly, I don't even wanna go out without you :*

Aww. I wish my boyfriend would be considerate of me like that.:(

I hope he does too, girl! Trust me, it's the best feeling ever being the priority in their life. But it wouldn't be the same if HE didn't want it and it was something I wanted him to do. So, give him time, he might come around sooner than later! Good luck! :)

^---- wow. All of this is so interesting, considering the time frame it was written looking back. How quickly everything we had diminished.

I wouldn't say I've given up anything :) to give up something means I've lost something, and I've only gained from this relationship :) I'm the happiest I've been in so long <3
