Going through and making all those old entries friends-only, I found this... written just before Christmas:
The more I've thought about it lately, the more I find myself coming to the conclusion that my first friend may have had it right, from my perspective... with the exception that there's no ordered ranking of people in my world. There are just different people who are beautiful of their own right, and to rank which of them was more or most beautiful would be impossible. I think there are probably about ten men right now I'm interested, and all of them are extraordinary - in different ways, but no less extraordinary. If I dated any of them, I'd not feel I'd lost out by closing off the other men who had not long before been 'options,' people I felt I could connect with and be happy with. Thinking about this made me realize that maybe I had been the one speaking the wrong language. With so much beauty around us, how can anyone say, but THIS is the beauty for me before fully understanding what that means? I can't. But maybe it's different for everyone. What do you think? Pleasepleaseplease share your thoughts on this. Even in a word or two.
Coming Around Again. I've been thinking about this of late, how true it is. It's funny to see I was thinking of it then, too. How can someone fault you for noticing one of their friends, but noticing them for different reasons? How does that make them any less intriguing or beautiful, to notice that their friend is too? In my mind, it doesn't. At all. There are just too many amazing people. And, oh, my friend was so so right. And I never understood.
Once again, interested in your thoughts on this matter...
