The day I got &lt;a href=&quot;http://moodsandswings.blogspot.nl/2012/07/i-said-yes.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;engaged&lt;/a&gt;, was also the day I got a message from my big &lt;a href=&quot;http://moodsandswings.blogspot.nl/2012/07/crush.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;crush&lt;/a&gt;, after being m.i.a for around 2 years. We started talking, he told me he was at the other side of the world. At some point, he asked me whether I was already married or not. So I told him, I&#39;d broken up with me previous BF, around 2 years ago (!) and that I&#39;ve found someone else and just got engaged. He first blamed me for not contacting him when I was single again, then he asked me if I&#39;m really happy now. I said yes, I am. What he then said, was beyond my imagination. He asked me not to marry my fiance. I was stunned. For years, he and I had been trying, never did it work out. I just felt it was too late, and decided to let him go. Now he asked me not to get married with the best guy in the world? At that point, I realised I had no feelings for my big crush anymore, which felt so great. After all those years, my heart finally fully belongs to one person, and I&#39;m going to get married to him.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://moodsandswings.blogspot.com/feeds/8568264304180075171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://moodsandswings.blogspot.com/2012/07/love-maybe-next-life.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2494441369898057348/posts/default/8568264304180075171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2494441369898057348/posts/default/8568264304180075171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://moodsandswings.blogspot.com/2012/07/love-maybe-next-life.html' title='Love, maybe next life'/><author><name>Moods and Swings</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11737640314417268674</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfkR5IAKovQ40xszYuRA-sbJUunrYS_cl8Hlg9cqLs-1HTGSS4rykJsiMsJGl2p-k2tQOg8OC_DuVFErW4LRInCQhdUXQ6YNKZAsGGHmbGoeH_zVxPO-WYSduqlsYKHaobrYKZ0k9EhMD/s72-c/tumblr_m6cfx8odFQ1qe8a0go1_500_large.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494441369898057348.post-8432146997902652853</id><published>2012-07-08T11:32:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2012-07-08T11:32:49.338+02:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="beauty"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fashion"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hair"/><title type='text'>Braids for every girl</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Never in my mind I&#39;d seen that one coming. We&#39;ve never worked out, and the crush had last 10 years. I thought he was the love of my life. We&#39;ve tried several times to make it work, but it didn&#39;t really felt like we tried that hard either. Then I just decided to erase him from my mind at some point. What&#39;s the use, when neither faith nor fate was bringing us together for real?&lt;br /&gt;

I never knew that being engaged to him could make me feel so special, 
bubbly and free at the same time. How could one person make another feel
 so good, and the other way around? He proposed to me early this year, on my birthday at work. 
Butterflies everytime we reminisce that moment. Could it stay forever?&lt;/div&gt;
