Don't Be Rushin'

You wouldn't believe how crazy amazing things have been lately.  Earlier this week, I had a freak out moment about D and me.  I started to wonder why we hadn't had "the talk" and decided to make our relationship official.  I asked my roommate's advice, and it aligned with what I thought I should do:  talk to him about it.  Then I thought, "Maybe I should get a guy's opinion.  Maybe I'm overreacting."  So, I asked one of my good guy friends the same thing.  Why, if we've been spending all this time together, aren't we really "back together"?  My guy friend's response was, "How long have you guys been seeing each other this time?  A few weeks?  Take your time this time."  And you know what?  He's 1000% right.  I have always tried to rush things in relationships, and that's why our first attempt at this relationship didn't work.  I pushed too hard, and he was afraid he couldn't give me what I wanted.

I've learned that all I want is to be cared for and thought of.  It doesn't bother me if we don't see each other for a while, as long as he finds a way of telling me that he cares.  That's what's been going on this time, and it feels like we're both happy for once.  I'm not going to rush it this time.  I was thinking something the other day, "If this is the relationship I'm supposed to be in, then we have our whole lives to worry about where we are in our relationship.  For now, we should just enjoy it."

And now I leave you with a quote I found on Instagram:

"According to Greek Mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces.  Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves."

-Plato's The Symposium
