RETURN TEXTS
-- We are definitely cute. I'm willing to own that. 💁🏾♀️ -- Oh gosh, I think it depends on who you ask -- current Naomi or 14-year-old Naomi. -- Because 14-year-old Naomi was pretty sure that she was in love with him from the very start, but I didn't really understand just how encompassing and complicated an emotion like love actually is. -- But when I look back now, I think that it was somewhere around 16 where I probably got emotionally mature enough to get that? -- The summer before junior year was really hard, because I was home in Canada for the break and neither of us could really manage a visit to see each other so it was texting and video chatting for us the entire time and it sucked. I'd missed him when we were apart before then, but something had changed. -- I just knew that I never wanted to be apart from him, not ever. -- We'd already been exchanging I love yous before that and I don't think that it was untrue when I'd said it, but I think that was definitely around the time that I understood just what it meant and that what I felt for Miles was, without a doubt, love and I'd always feel it. -- And here we are now! So far, so good.
