Simply put, things are going pretty well for me these days.  Besides my slight setback last week, in the form of the flu, I am happy.  Putting me out for 5 days & being home gave me some time to think about things that really matter.  When it boils down to it, there are 11 people I love with all of my heart, no matter what happens, they are my family.  My life.  My heart and reason I am the person I am today.  After that, there are those who mean a lot to me.  Love?  Well maybe, but not in a way that is unconditional.  Loving someone in a world where people change only to satisfy their own needs has taught me to guard my heart.  So for that, I will love those worthy of my love.  I will love those who have proven that they are more than another passerby. 

So there is this “somebody” that has recently entered my life.  He has simply swept me off my feet.  We only met a little while ago, but the little time that we have spent together he has started to show me the person that he is.  The genuine, kind, considerate, fun, and amazing person he is.  While there are many things in my life to be happy about, the fact that he has given me the time to get to know him and to spend with him is something really worth smiling about.  I mentioned in my first post, New Years started off great, it was spent with him.  That was the last time I saw him until last weekend.  Since he lives about 7 hours away, it is pretty hard to see each other often.  But when he was here, the time spent together was so natural.  With him, there is a certain ease to things.  Again, it just feels natural.  No awkard silences at dinner and no empty moments.   Now a week has passed and I can’t wait to see him again.  One thing about it though, I feel like I am able to be myself completely around him and I love that.  I am my goofy and sometimes slightly retarded self who says the wrong thing and makes a fool of herself.  But he doesn’t judge me or look at me like I have a third eyeball.  Maybe that will come back and bite me in the butt, but for now I am happy with the way things are.  I am glad to have the opportunity to get to know such a great person and can’t wait to see what will happen with the future.  xo
