I know what a girlfriend is...but I think I'm at a point where I've been Ryan's girlfriend for soooo long that it feels like I'm more than that lol... and that's when things get confusing. I want to treat him like more than just a boyfriend, but what's in between boyfriend and husband? [with the exception of fiance...because that's basically a husband]  And then there's those awkward family picture moments...where the family is taking pictures and you know you're not a part of the family, but it feels like you are, so you're not sure if you should be in the picture, does that make sense? lol It's not too bad for me, since I'm always the one taking the pictures. lol But its still a strange situation. I tend to over analyze a lot of things, so I'm going to stop. lol I'll just continue being his "frequent or favorite female companion; sweetheart". I don't HAVE to know what he's up to ALL the time, so I'm going to back off and chill. Because the reality is I'm just his girlfriend. I have to stop getting upset at him for dumb things...I really do. It's my fault...I need to recognize my title and expect nothing more than what comes with it. 

Love,
