I’m a turtle.

I hide in my shell most of the time, only to peek my head out when I feel comfortable and then retreat back when I’m scared.

What happens when you’ve lived your life in the calm background and one person changes your entire perspective? You interact but don’t make new and solid connections.

Matt Reynolds stormed right in, making himself a presence I couldn’t ignore even if I tried. He broke down my walls by simply looking into my eyes. He made me feel as if he couldn’t love or live without looking into them everyday.

I used to see life in a different way. A life where I could keep things as familiar as possible. These days, it’s about meeting that one person who will look at you and make you their world. The one who realizes your worth as much as you do. The one who looks you in the eyes, melts your heart, and completes your soul.

It’s about ignoring society’s rules about finding love. Who says it can’t happen quickly and with someone you never expected? Life is about good music and good friends. It’s about not letting the little things take over you.

It’s about finding the path that works for you.
