If I've learned one thing over the course of being alive it's that humans are the one animal to be scared of more than anything else.

When other animals do things, it's usually for a reason. They're doing it to ensure their survival as a species they're doing it in the only way nature lets them do it. When we do things...it's usually for some 'noble' cause that promotes killing other people in violent and horrific ways. People will say that it's to 'ensure survival' but honestly, we do more harm than good, and we're paying for that in more ways than one. There are animals that I would definitely be scared of and would go out of my way to avoid, but humans scare me a lot more than any other animal.

Sounds edgy, I know, but it's really the only suitable answer I can give for something like this.

I wouldn't call it crazy myself (it's the only logical step in this relationship after all), but my parents - or at least my mum - thought that me going to America to meet Lexi.

I dunno, I guess I can understand to an extent why they thought that. I knew right from the moment that this relationship started that me and her would make meeting up it work because we click so well. I can see why me going to America purely for the sake of meeting someone would make them apprehensive though, and I don't just think that's because of their age. I was only 19 a few months ago, spending a good chunk of money on a ticket to meet someone in a completely different country without a real method to get in contact with people I know on the small chance that things did go wrong. I can see why that would cause them worry.

Then again, this whole relationship is 'crazy' for various reasons. Lexi would probably say that the craziest thing I've done is actually stay with her in spite of everything that's happened. She wasn't dealing with her eating disorder well at all earlier this year and it put a massive strain on our relationship. We were arguing nearly every night and it felt like I was fighting a losing battle to try and help her. I won't go into detail about the particulars of that though, because it's very personal and not suitable for an AskFM response. I'll just say that it did get really difficult, and there were times when, if I had wanted to end the relationship, I think it's something we both would have understood. I didn't though because I love her and the idea of ending the best relationship of my life is not something I really want to happen.

There isn't anyone else I'd do that for, and if push came to shove, I'd gladly do all of that again for her because, well, it's Lexi, she's really the only one for me.
