Is this a mid year reflection of my 2013? Maybe. Ever since my 2012 year-end post, I’ve collected quite a number of things including a speeding ticket, memories from my trip to the motherland, bruises from my last minute cheap mud-proof boot purchase for a summer music festival and *drum roll please*, a boyfriend. Yes, I may not have posted it on Facebook yet, but I am now officially in a relationship.
Still fresh and newer than new, this relationship has been making me smile a lot lately even at work, where I lose my soul a little bit for at least 2 hours a day. It’s been really amazing to just hang out with this guy, who’s almost the same person as I am, only from a different race and of the opposite gender. It’s really strange how we connect in so many levels, a far cry from the guys I’ve dated in the past. He makes it so easy and our shared interests, including our flair for sarcasm and passion for music, just make everything fall into place effortlessly. Funny how fate just decidedly knocked me down right after I’ve mostly given up on people. (See post here)
Obviously, this is not to say I’ve achieved the greatest accomplishment in life. But I am just thrilled for what’s to come in the next couple of months. My single self has slowly taken its departure after two years and I have now been welcoming and embracing, although a little apprehensively, my other version of self – the less grumpy but just as fun self.
Well, we’ll see how this one goes.
