Writing about romance is something that up until this point, I've chosen not to do. There isn't a specific reason as to why I've decided not to talk about it except for the simple fact that since eighth grade, I've only ever been in one relationship; one that I'm still currently in.

A lot of people (including myself) read romance/relationship articles for advice. To be honest, I'm not sure how many people would value my relationship advice. I love my relationship and everything that we've grown to be over the years, but sometimes I feel pretty insecure when I say that it's the only relationship I've been in.

I imagine people thinking "One relationship? She doesn't know anything about relationships." You might be right, but you're also completely wrong.

So instead of writing you an advice article on how to make your relationship last as long as mine has (because I'll be honest, I have no idea; it just kind of happened) I'm going to tell you about my relationship and about this phenomenal guy I've had a blessing to experience the goods and the bads of life with.

This is the first photo we ever took together. It was taken by my best friend Hailee, and it was taken just over seven years ago. It was still a while after this photo that we started dating, but to this day, this is one of my favorite photos. We've always been best friends and this photo describes our relationship to a perfect T.

It's a candid, one that shows just how playful JJ has always been with me, and it's really fun to look at because it's like seeing us today. We've barely changed at all. Though this photo did get him in a lot of trouble with his then-girlfriend (sorry, LOL).

Please excuse the atrocious photo quality (what can I say, it was 2012), but I wanted to add this photo in to show what a big supporter he has always been of mine. This was taken at my eighth-grade final band concert, and my favorite person in the audience was this guy right here. He never missed a performance the entire time I was in band or choir, and that's something I've taken for granted.

Find someone that supports your dreams and your passions even if it's something they don't themselves have much of an interest in.

In turn, make sure you do the same thing for them. JJ has always participated in some type of motorsport. It started with tractor pullin' (please look it up if you don't know what that is...the most redneck thing), then he went on to go-kart racing, and eventually, dirt track racing when we got a bit older. I was there every weekend offering him the same support he always offered me, even though I hated almost all of those activities.

Those are all pretty old pictures, but they're some of my favorite memories. I've made so many memories with this guy because he's truly become such an integral part of my life over the years. In my opinion, we've gotten to experience some of the most pivotal moments of our life together, and there's no one I would've rather have done them with.

We experienced our 16th birthdays, our senior prom and our high school graduation together. We experienced what it was like to live long distance while we moved states apart for college. Now we've experienced living over 4,000 miles apart while I studied abroad in England.

So maybe I can't offer the best advice when it comes to relationships because this is the only one I've ever been in, but I don't want to be in any others. This one is just fine for me.

I love this guy and I don't know what I would do without him. No, I don't think I'm missing out by not dating other people, and no, I don't get bored and wonder who else is out there. Do I think we'll get married? I have no idea. Maybe. Maybe we won't. But we're happy right now, and we've been happy for over six years, and I thinks that's incredible, and it's more than enough for me.
