Sometimes, my life seems like the first half of a romantic comedy... Like everything could turn around at any moment. I've made mistakes, who hasn't? I've even been a second chance.
You know those times in your life where you make a bad decision, and then regret it? Every time one of those moments happens, you tell yourself that if that decision ever comes up again, that you won't repeat your bad decision? In the first half of a romantic comedy, the chance comes around a second time, the protagonist makes the decision that he wishes that he had made before, and everything is going well, but it still hasn't turned the corner to make things great.
In some stories, the goofy protagonist (in this story, that part is played by yours truly) makes a sweet, but awkward gesture and that turns the story around. In others, someone helps the other person realize what's there. Still other times, someone steers the other person in the wrong direction, but they find their own way back. I'm not sure how my story will play out. Maybe I'm just a dreamer: maybe I'm actually in another subplot. I hope not, because I like the way this story is turning out.
Well, I'll make awkward, sweet gestures and hope for the best. I plan these wonderful surprises every time, and every time, something happens to screw up my plan. It ends up that my dates seem routine, when I really had these great plans that somehow failed to come to fruition. I don't think making plans is trying too hard, and keeping them a secret is definitely fun. Well, the next plan I make has to succeed. The third time, after all, is supposed to be a charm.
In my life, it's way too soon for "happily ever after," if that even exists (I think it does). At this point, a smile that lights up the room, or a laugh that lets me know she's forgotten whatever is bothering her is good enough for me. I'm not normally this open with my feelings, but I hope that by expressing my feelings here, I will get better at expressing my feelings out loud. Silly? Maybe. But then again, maybe not. We'll see how the story goes.
