My Hitchhiking Companion I Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life With

ADVERTISEMENT

Once, a man gave me a ride. We talked about love, girlfriends, that kind of stuff.

He said, “Listen, if you want to find out if you really want to spend the rest of your life with a girl, go on a hitchhiking trip together.”

The man compared hitchhiking to life. “It is not hard to be in love when everything is alright. Just like hitchhiking, it’s very easy when the sun shines and you get rides all the time. But when it starts raining, and no one takes you, then it’s get harder. Sometimes there are factors in life that you cannot influence, just like the weather during hitchhiking. If you have, in those moments, still have the same feeling and joy, you know for sure you truly love her. It’s how you cope in bad times – in good times, anyone can have fun together. So, start hitchhiking, and find out.”

So I did.

Soon after we met, we started hitchhiking

May you always remember the reasons why you fell in love with each other. That is what will keep the fire alight as the years go by. I wish you lots of love and happiness together.
