Hello fellow bloggers and all those who happen to come across my blog...
I know that it has been some time since I last worked on this... almost two years. Life has been busy throwing me curveballs and teaching me to fall in love. That being said... I'm not sure if anyone reads this anymore but I figured it was worth a shot.
Two years ago I met the love of my life. It was purely coincidental and it changed my life more than I ever expected it would. It felt out of a movie how things happened between us. I wasn't supposed to be in town and he came on a whim... I had been seeing someone casually and was just about ready to give up. My friends dragged me out.. a few drinks later, we got introduced. I don't think I have ever been speechless in my entire life (I'm really talkative). I didn't even know his name I just felt it. It was the most exciting 18 hours of my life. Then he was gone, back to New York.
I couldn't let this connection go. 10 days later I purchased a train ticket from Boston to New York and showed up at his dorm. I told only my best friends and nobody else. It was reckless, exciting, scary, a plethora of emotions. It was the best decision I had ever made. Two years later we've overcome many hurdles, but lately they have been the hardest. Why? Because as far as we have come in the year 2016, there are still many out there who hold true to their religions. He is Jewish and I am Catholic. Our parents have strongly opposed that we be together. It wasn't always like this, but lately they realize how strong the bond is and they worry about preserving traditions instead of allowing us to be in love and be happy that their children have found someone who truly loves and respects each respective "child."
Now my love has moved to Rome for six months and my parents will not pay for me to see him. I live in Miami now and I am in law school - its why I haven't been active in quite some time. Between graduating undergrad and starting law school immediately after and being in a relationship, the time has slipped from my hands... but now I am back and I am asking the wonderful blogging community to help me with something.
I want to visit my love, my soulmate, in Rome during spring break. For that I need money. Unfortunately since we are both full time students with supporting parents we have not had to work. At this point in time its too late to even start something to make enough money to visit him when I have the time.
I have started a gofundme account with the hopes that some hopeless romantic will read about our story and want to support our cause. Any little bit helps. I hope that someone, anyone, will read this and want to contribute. It would mean the world for us to be reunited.
the link for the account is www.gofundme.com/5jnymy9n
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND FOR COMING TO MY BLOG.
Love always, Carolina, aka The Aristochic!
