Day 02 – Your first love




yikes, i don't know if i should answer this. Only because i don't believe i have truly have ever "loved" someone in that way. But, i will give it a go.

My somewhat of a first "love" would be Eric Gustafson. Let me first put a correction on this. He was my first real and legit "boyfriend". We met in ninth grade. I had just moved to Saratoga Springs, Utah. and He was in my ward. He was very very shy. Never talked, so my first thought of him was "ohh ya he's cute, but obviously too cool for me." He eventually talked to me and got my number somehow. We started talking daily and went on little walks every Sunday around the neighborhood. Not going to lie, it was pretty cute. That is when we confided in each other. He told me everything, and I did the same. I knew he was a punk. And at one point was doing drugs. I had admitted to him that i would never date anyone who was like that. Little did I know that, that was what changed him. From then on he stopped drinking or doing any sort of drug. It was my birthday and we went on a walk, i was wishing for a kiss since we had been really good friends by now. But no. That was a total fail.
 I moved beginning of my Sophomore year to Arizona. We still talked here and there. But by the end of Sophomore year we were once again texting daily. I flew out there during the summer and we hung out a few times. He kissed me on my last night being there.
We talked on the phone constantly and texted all the time. I had developed strong feelings for this kid, even though we were 600 miles apart.

Then started Junior year! Homecoming came around and he had asked me if i would be his date. I said Well Duh but how is that going to happen if I'm here in Arizona. He had said he would fly me out. I said Yes instantly.  He flew me out and we danced && had a enjoyable time. We  had talked and both agreed we didn't want to be with anyone else. So now we were some what "official" but with long distance.

He flew me out for new years and prom! I had a blast with him. Summer of '10 i was living there in utah for a few months. We then became inseparable. I came home back to arizona. This was really hard for me to leave him after two months of being with each other every day. I got over it. Decemeber of 2010 i find out he had been cheating on me the ENTIRE time. Not surprising really. I mean long distance never really works. But this hurt me. I have put off my junior year and didn't go on any dates because of him. Oh and just to add to it, I found out he had a HUGE drug addiction. Let me just say thank you for making it soo much easier to let go of you. And in my eyes you are now not attractive in any way possible. Your sick and nasty and all you want is some action. Hope the best for you!
