Hey everyone. I have been away due to issues regarding my internet
service but I am back. Something strange yet exciting has taken place
while I was gone. I began to feel awkward towards myself. Questioned
who I was. I needed to feel free, and take away something from myself,
in order to gain something new. I stared a long while into the mirror,
confused. I shaved my head, to give myself humiliation. To hopefully
try to break myself from the burden of trying to look my best, and it
not be enough.

I met a man at work, who I have tried to help. He noticed something in
me that I never thought a stranger would see. He continued to insist
that he sends his daughter down to my work to retrieve what it was I was
going to attempt to obtain for him. Nearing the end of that week, a
woman came into my work. If I may say so without being considered
shallow, she just happened to be the most beautiful woman I have ever
laid eyes on. I asked her if there was anything I could help her with,
and she walked right up and asked my name. She said she is the daughter
of the man I met earlier that week (which was like on this past Mon,
exactly one week from today). I was shocked. We spent a good amount of
time talking, as to my surprise, not a single soul crept into my work.
Time stood still, allowing me the privilege of talking to this woman.

Both, her and I had plenty to say, and later resulted in her offering me
her phone number. Later after she left, her father called me an invited
me over to their house on Mother's day (This took place Saturday night).
That night I couldn't sleep well, as this woman kept appearing in my
mind. I tried not to think about her, but something just seemed to get
my mind going. My feelings of life began to take over me, and I soon
felt myself trying to better myself in ways I cannot explain. Almost as
if I were preparing myself for the rest of my life in one investment.

That Sunday evening when I arrived at her house, her family and I spent
hours making conversation. Already the possibility of a relationship
has come about in more ways than one, yet neither one of us can make any
sense of why this is. I am not a fool who falls for anyone, yet I keep
thinking about this one. When I listened to what she had to say, all I
could think about was how my family would adore this person. I find
myself very excited and eager to talk with this person more. I have no
intentions being in a relationship, yet I feel I can not refuse the
chance to get to know this person.

Does love really happen when you least expect it? At first I only
thought she was being nice giving her number, but after the
conversations, I see that possibly there could be more to it than just
that. No matter how hard I try to fight this, I feel that I am already
changing into a different person, impressed by this remarkable woman. I
am afraid that I might be already falling for this person, feeling as if
I belong with this person and the more I grow upset with myself, the
more I feel I am falling deeper. I am a little scared, yet I feel
secure at the same time. Any advice?

Go slow. Do not rush anything at all. Let nature take it's course. If it
is truly meant to be, it will happen. But do not force it to happen,
then you are just asking for it to fail.

Slow & easy there young man. Love can happen like that, but take time,
enjoy & it will make it all the better.

Alright thanks guys. That's the thing though. I don't want to rush,
but my feelings inside are like "Dude! You are SOOOOOOOO Gonna get
married!" and I hate that. Because it doesn't seem practical. It
doesn't even make sense why such a woman would be interested in me. Yet
I can't show that insecurity. Instead, my world around me seems to be
improving. I know I should be afraid of failing, although I am not
scared. Ugh! I guess I said too much. I am just excited. Thanks to
you all and anyone else who has read this. I just wanted to share the
most exciting thing right now. The way it just happened caught me by
such a surprise. That's all. I have seen pretty women before, and I
can handle it. But just talking to this person blew my mind, and she is
stuck in my head now.

I must admit at first when I started reading this. I actually thought I
was gonna get to the end of it and there was gonna be a catch to it all.
As like a fairy tale story is was becoming. Not only do you seem to have
a very kind heart. But you have a shinning soul. You need to quit
looking in the mirror to see what is wrong within. Instead you should
look in the mirror and see all the good you have within your heart. For
it does shine through.

Just take it slow and enjoy every minute of this new feeling you are
having. In time you will know if it is love. But for now just be happy
with yourself and know you are worth every bit of happiness that comes
your way!!bigsmile


They say the eyes are the mirror to ones soul. Your eyes are beautiful
so that must mean that your soul as well is beautiful. You are much to
critical on yourself. Don't expect perfection from yourself. Just be
happy with the person you are. For you see it seems that others see a
side your not seeing. Just be proud of the person you are.bigsmile
