(( I decided to start a little online diary here. Because I trust the people on this site, I don't have a problem with sharing my stories here. I'm doing this, because I just have to write some things down. And maybe it can make someone understand me too. There are some things I just can't keep secret anymore. ))
The HIM Factor. Oct. 26th.
It isn't an explosion of happy feelings. I'm not sure I can fully explain it, but I'll try my best.
Love... a crazy topic really. The beliefs and ideas of love have been all too often used up dry. Love is nothing but a rerun. Hollywood ran crazy with the feelings of love, even putting it into a cartoon about racing cars. What is it about love that makes people want it? What is it about love that makes people need it? And how do you truly know when it is there? How do you truly know you are making the right decision?
I don't think you really ever know... I think the real test of love, well, its the test. How far will two lovers go to keep their relationship? How long will they last even when the world is against them? True love isn't a happy emotion that makes your heart flutter. It is a trial, one that everyone goes through, whether they realize it or not. Some of us chose not to show up when our trial comes. Maybe we are too scared we will flunk, that the audience wont love us anymore, maybe we just don't want to ruin what good we already have.
But life isn't about staying in one place. Life is about progress. It always has been. Why then, when it comes to the great trial of love, do we stand around like a bunch of fools? Instead of cowering, we should be jumping up with our #2 pencils sharpened and our hearts open. But the human mind is a confusing thing, and it is easily confused.
In my life, I've always thought 'is this love?' And everytime, my mind is wrong. I believe that is our number one problem. We feel with our minds, instead of our hearts. I would meet a guy, find him a little cute, maybe even funny, and realize he is a great person to be around. I would get that fuzzy feeling, and all of a sudden, think I am in love! But I don't think that is what love is about. Honestly, while my mind was saying "look at this guy, woudn't he be great?" My heart was saying "Ew! Yuck! He isn't right for you!" Sometimes I feel that the fuzzy feeling is actually a warning from my heart to stay away.
Recently, I've grown attached to a certain guy. It is much different than any of the others. I'm not exploding with joy, or fuzzy feelings. I'm not addicted to seeing him. I don't even feel like "OMG, I miss him I need to see him NOW!" It is much different than before. I'm patient. I know it may be lengthy periods of time before I see him, and I'm ok with that, because I know that when I do get to see him, it will be that much better.
I didn't like him right away. I mean, sure he had a cute hair do, but he wasn't the guy at all I thought I would go for. It wasn't true love at first sight. But I got to know him, and as things went on, I befriended him. Then one day, it was like, my eyes just opened up, and I felt relieved. No fast beating heart, no butterflies. Just, relief and happiness. It was like my heart was saying, "Finally."
And it isn't in the way that he looks, though he isn't an ugly one, I promise you that. It is who he is. Not his looks, not his personality, not his humor, not his smile, or his voice, but everything. Every little piece of him is perfect, even his flaws. He is a perfect piece of elegant pottery, crafted masterfully from God's hands.
I always heard that opposites attract, and that those with the same things in common always end up disagreeing, but so far, I havn't seen that at all. We agree on everything. It's odd. We feel the same way about things. We would feel fear at the same time, happiness at the same time, and when the other was sad, we couldn't help but catch that too. Though, when ever I was sad, I wasn't sad for long. His voice would nearly always cheer me up, and when it didn't, his smile, his goofy laugh, and his kind hugs always brought me out of depression.
I grew up because of that. Before, I was just a child, chasing false loves and hopeless romances. Who knows, maybe this isn't even real love. But even if it isn't it has matured me so much, just understanding atleast a little. If this isn't real, true love, then I know I am getting closer to it.
You know what I really love about him? That one of his favorite shows is So You Think You Can Dance. He is so understanding of women and feelings, and is open with his emotions, and yet, he is so much man as well. I hope this doesn't sound to goofy... I'm trying to word it the best I can.
When I came back down to Florida, and I finally got the interenet and phone back, he was the first one to contact me, to tell me that he misses me. With my birthday party coming up soon, I recently found out that only two people had said yes to come to my party, my best friend, and, how did I put it before? The guy I am madly in like with. (You see, I wont say love. Even if it is, not yet. Not unless I know that he feels the same way back.)
And I don't know if he likes me back, atleast, not in the way that I like him. Ofcourse, with me, I've always thought I was cursed, and would always be just a friend. But who knows. Life isn't easily predicted, and neither is love. Right now, I'm at that phase where I'm content with where we are now. Like I said, love is patient. Maybe when the right time comes, I'll talk to him. Until then, I'll just...wait. And smile.
