Don't we all change for that special person? Even when we aren't trying, we magically change our actions, our words, and our appearance just for them. I've noticed I have been doing this and I have started to try and change back to my old self. I liked my old self. I wasn't clingy like I am now, I was more loving than passive aggressive. I used to listen to my friends about everything but ever since I met someone new, I have closed out their opinions. I have a tendency to do so and I don't like when I do it.
The thing about me changing is: I don't notice I do it until I get time to step back and look at life. I don't get a lot of time to myself and it sucks. It really does, but I try my hardest to go running so I can clear my mind and go back to my old ways.
The guy I'm seeing is amazing. He's so fun and I love being with him.. Now what I mean by "seeing" this guy, is that we broke up because we both weren't ready for relationships and so we broke up and we are calling ourselves " a thing... But with feelings". I honestly couldn't be happier where I am. He means the world to me and being the hopeless romantic I am, we strive for the cute things in life and he made one happen the other day.
It was a beautiful day and we had been wanting to hang out after everything went down hill. We took his mom's car because his was out of gas, but that was okay because I loved how he set everything up. We got a few pillows that you would put on a futon, and a blanket and a movie and went to a high place here in California. We opened up the back of the van and laid down and just cuddled because we first went to a national park in the area so it was just secluded and it was so beautiful. I just adored the scenery.
After we were told by the ranger that the park was closing, we went to a neighborhood after trying to find a high place around here with a view, so we just found a dead end in a street and parked. We left the trunk closed and put the pillows up against the back so we could watch the movie in the van (it had a did player in it). I can't remember the name of the movie for the life of me. And I can't say how much I am falling for him. He just makes me see the world from a new perspective and I can't thank him enough for everything he has ever done for me.
I do, honestly, think it's crazy that I'm falling for him after meeting him on July 3rd. Although, July 4th was one of the best days of my life.
To him: Thank you so much for this opportunity and thank you for being there for me no matter what. Even when times are hard. You're the best and I hope we can go places someday as a couple.
