Glen Mascarenhas
The Ying to My Yang <3
In the heart of Mumbai, we lived in a small colony, I met him Glen, the quiet Catholic boy who would one day become the love of my life. Glen and I had known each other since childhood, growing up in the same neighborhood, yet it wasn't until I was sixteen that I truly saw him in a different light.
From the moment our eyes met, I knew there was something special about him. Despite our differences me, the loud and clumsy Hindu girl, and him, the tidy and quiet Catholic boy – we were drawn to each other like magnets.
They say opposites attract, and in our case, it couldn't be more true. I, the extroverted Virgo, found myself falling for his quiet strength, while he, the introverted Gemini, admired my zest for life.
Our love story was anything but conventional. We faced disapproval from our families, who couldn't understand how two people from such different backgrounds could find common ground. But for us, love knew no boundaries. As the years passed, our bond only grew stronger. Now, 10 years later, our love burns as brightly as ever. At twenty-five and twenty-seven, we're still madly in love, just like teenagers who've just discovered each other for the first time. For me, every day with Glen is a reminder of the beauty of our differences. We may come from opposite ends of the spectrum, but together, we create a harmony that's uniquely ours.
As we stand on the brink of a new chapter in our lives, I can't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through my veins. I can't wait to become Mrs. Glen, to spend the rest of my days by his side, laughing and loving each other just like we did when we were young. And as I submit our story for this love contest, I do so with pride, knowing that our love is a beacon of hope in a world that often seems chaotic and divided.
For Me and Glen, love knows no boundaries, not religion, not temperament, not even time. And as we embrace our differences and celebrate our love, we prove that sometimes, the most unlikely of pairs are destined to find each other in this vast and chaotic world.
