Justin and I met in Steamboat Springs, CO while working for the mountain. To our luck we ended up being next door neighbors. We hit it off immediately and not in the stay up talking all night kind of way but his presence felt comforting and familiar. We remained friends for awhile getting to know each other on a personal level. We were both doing our inner work from past relationships and the thought of letting each other in was terrifying. We both pushed each other away and there was a gap of time we didn’t communicate. In that time I realized I had really suppressed my feelings for this guy! I was wrapping things up in Steamboat ready to head home but fate has a funny way of working itself out. Justin reached out the day before I flew out of Steamboat asking if he could take me out for dinner and a movie. Our first date went amazing which was bitter sweet as I had a flight to catch in the AM leaving any idea of us far behind. I’ve never discussed what was going through Justin’s mind during that time but I was low key scheming and saving to get back to my unicorn. I was so nervous the whole flight back to CO. I had left right as things were getting started and had been gone for over three months. I invested a lot in us without him knowing but once I saw him all the anxiety and doubt faded away. I knew I had made the right choice and I loved him undoubtedly.
