A few months ago, I found myself struggling in life. I felt alone and felt like I was distancing myself with others because I would be too busy with everything going on. Such as work, graduation and what college to go to; I found myself stressing out a lot. So, I thought I’d get trapped and never be able to escape from my struggles. I then got in a relationship with my current girlfriend Dulce Camarena. It felt like all that pain just went away like a snap of thanos’s fingers.
It’s crazy to me how we have been having mutual friends and she’s came to my school events in the past, but hadn’t met each other until our senior year. The first time we met was at a girls’ soccer game. We both went to support our friend that night in her game. We officially met after the game was over because of her friend. We then went to In-n-Out afterwards with a couple of my friends as well. I thought she was pretty, so I looked for her name on Instagram and just followed her. I then shot my shot a couple days after. I asked her out on a date and she agreed on going out with me.
Just thinking about our first date makes me happy. I remember once she had came out of her car and was walking towards me I couldn’t stop smiling. I couldn’t believe I was really going out with her. We went to an ice cream place across the street named Icicles. We just suddenly clicked and I wanted to know more about her and her goals. Once I dropped her off, I went driving home with a cheesy smile. She had asked about how my day was and really seemed interested in me. She wanted to know more, so I knew she didn’t want me for my looks but because of my personality and I found that pretty cool.
I just remember being nervous for some reason and it felt super weird because when I would go out with other girls in the past, I’d be chill about it. This girl however, was different, she was not like the rest. As I was waiting for her outside her school, I was literally about to drive back home because of how nervous I was, because I felt like she was way too pretty for me.
She changed everything with just her presence and made me into a better part of me, in which I believed didn’t exist.
Being in a relationship and being intimate with someone can be really healthy for both partners in the relationship. Long lifespans, emotional support, greater wealth, and an increase in dopamine and testosterone are just some of the healthy benefits one can receive from a good healthy relationship.
Studies show that with the right person an increase of dopamine and testosterone can deliver feelings of lust, attachment, and happiness which can also help your body recover and feel good. This is the most affected in long term relationships. Longer lifespan is most effective in much longer term relationship, whereas one is married with their partner.
My girlfriend and I have only been together for about three months and she’s managed to put a smile on my face everyday even when I don’t see her. I can assure that she’s been very supportive to me, whether it comes down to my passions or her just being there for me throughout the toughest times. She always asks about how my day was and no other girl has made me feel the way she does.
Communication is key, if not the most important thing that should be taken in consideration in a relationship. In her words this is what communication means to her: “I think communication is a big part because people like everyone as humans can overthink situations or can like think bad and if there’s no communication there is no clarification to know those doubts and i think that’s what creates toxic relationships which just mess everything up.”
One time in which we shared a moment in where we communicated to each other about our relationship was when, we were both dealing with our individual family problems. How we didn’t know if we would be able to continue on with the relationship. However we talked about it and cleared everything up. We found out what we can do to make things better and as a result of that everything then became better.
To say the least, If there’s no communication then there is a lot of overthinking and luckily my partner and I have communication in our relationship. “Communication in a relationship is extremely important because it acts as the judge, jury and executioner who has the final say on whether your relationship lives or dies.” Arguments occur very often in relationships but communicating can effectively stop it from occurring.
What I learned is that communication is indeed a very important factor in keeping a relationship strong and healthy. From all the good healthy benefits that you benefit from being in a relationship. My girl has changed my life in a very positive way.
