It will happen eventually
I was lucky enough to have a friend share a story she wrote tonight. It could have been today. I could have been this afternoon. Heck, for all I know, it could have been 3 years ago, and through serendipitous circumstances, came to life today. Sort of like Frosty the Snowman in the old top hat they found.
I love seeing the work that friends do. I always find it inspiring in some way, shape, or form. As soon as I read it I desperately wanted to write a brief winter tale of my own. Instead, I think I'll take a moment to journal about hers, because I think it was terrific on so many levels.
It's been hard to quantify, but as I wrote to someone today, that is the sort of quality I think I seek in a future partner. I want to be around someone who is fun and creative and inspires me. The person who makes me want to be better, and want to do the things I didn't know I could do... that's the person for me! I've met several that seem to fit the bill, but I don't seem to be destined for anything more than a good friendship.
Valuable, yes.
Appreciated, yes.
Fulfilling, yes.
It just kind of makes me wonder what other people are looking for. I seem to find the qualities I desire, but I don't possess the combination needed to make it a two way attraction. Maybe I should just slather myself in cheap cologne. (Grin)
On the plus side, it's been encouraging to see that I am comfortable enough with myself to accept my various relationships for what they are and accept that I will live the quiet life for a while.
Now. How do I make this headache go away? Hm. A brief twist of the old noggin leads me to believe that it may be starting in my neck. That can't be good! (Yes, kids. ADD is fun! Want to see where I could go from here!? I'll spare you the pain. Let's just say that I have the talent to take it from there to .. well.. damn near anything.)
