Rebecca is coming YAY!
Since I went to DC and visited with Rebecca, she is now coming up andvisiting me. This should be different, because we'll be under a parent's watchful eye. (curses! Foiled again.) This gives me a wonderful opportunity to share some musings on the subject, which this journal seems to be a collection of.
First, when we broke up in May, it was in part because I was going away and in part because we are so different. So then we had the whole Thursday night futon discussion. So now we both realize that there is mutual love and affection, but that that is not enough. The situation isn't right, and it is that, rather than one of us, that doesn't want us together. The longer I know her, the more I realize we think soooo differently on religious matters, things that would affect children we might raise together. So we aren't destined (at least now) to be long-term together. But she'll remain (B'ezrat Hashem, Insh'allah, G-d willing) a great friend, and I wish the circumstances were different. It definitely hurts less knowing that I'm loved, but we couldn't raise children together than thinking that she lost interest in me. Of course, I miss more now than I did before I went, but I find that a small price to pay.
She'd say that this hardly needs to be public news, and she's probably right. I'd likely do better typing purely to myself, but it can help to hear from other people. This brings up an interesting point. This LJ has been up for two months. It has over 20 entries. However, it has NO comments. I implore those reading right now to comment. Comments=love. I know people read this, as I've seen my surveys used by other people, with proper attribution and all. Someone say something, please.
