I've met the right person for me, and I just want to share. He makes me feel better than I have ever felt before. I like life by myself, but I like life with him even more. He is the single most amazing person on earth. I respect him and love him. I love him in a way I have never loved anyone else in my life.

He moved here when he was 15. He didn't know English, but he learned well enough to leave ESL classes for mainstream classes when he was 16. He learned English from MTV and I Love Lucy, with subtitles. He doesn't like that, but I think it's as good as any other way... and it's a fun way.

He has the best heart of almost anyone I know. He's a counselor too, and he really cares about his clients in a way a lot of counselors don't. He advocates for them, and really cares about which therapist he turns them over to.

He is amazing to me. He's not spontaneously romantic, which I say I want... but he's nicer and more considerate of me than anyone else. I really try to do the same for him.

He is one of the first and only people I will be able to really trust in my life. I am really having a hard time learning how to trust, but it's so easy with him. He's considerate in this incredibly genuine way. I don't know how to explain it.

Usually wanting to be with someone long term makes me feel nervous and restrained. I don't feel nervous or restrained with him. I feel so extremely fortunate to be able to spend every moment I can with him. I feel like he makes my life better in a way that no one before has.

Guys... I am so in love, and it's the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me.

That's all... And his name is Eduardo. That's right!!! The name every raunchy cartoon (Simpsons, Family Guy, etc) uses for the occasional Latin lover character... You know you love it...
