Looking at it closely I now see what truly matters.

I was sexually abused at about 14 years old, when it happened I thought my life was over, I distanced myself from people, lost friends etc.. I know it sounds like a bad story but bear with me - it gets better! I then became friends with a very unusual boy, little did I know, that he would ever mean this much to me, he was my best friend , he still is, but now he is also my bf and *secret* fiancé, it'll be two years together soon and I am ever so thankful that I have him in my life, when we were friends, he noticed that there was something very wrong, I told him about all my problems and he said that he would always be there for me, somewhere along the way I realised that I was madly in love with him, he isn't the sexiest, he isn't the most interesting person but he makes me feel like the most important person and tries his best to make me happy, no one has ever cared about me so much, and when I am feeling bad about myself, I know that to someone I mean something. I hope he knows just how happy I am to have him.
