tblog needs to up their service.
since i was in a blogging mood and couldnt log in to tblog for some strange reason, i blogged elsewhere...
that entry is as follows:
damn you tblog
i dont even know the main reason for this entry, really.
warning: the following may get a tad bit emotional - proceed with caution.
how shall i go about this? have you ever had expectations about what certain things should be like? like lets say,,,what going to uni would be like. or what living on your own would be like. there's that hollywoodized version of what you want it to be like. and then there's the version of what its REALLY like.
now lets apply that same analogy to a relationship. in this context with a very special someone.
i dont know about you, but i had ideas on what i thought a relationship should be like. and you know how it is when you're young and still figuring things out for yourself. kinda unsure yet really wanting to know for yourself. well, for me at least. lets not get all one-size-fits-all here. life experiences are not like t-shirts.
so now i'm in a relationship, and very happily so. only thing we have to put up with is the fact that we have to be apart for about 9 months before meeting again.
i'm not gonna spill the beans on every single detail of how we got together and yadayada. thats kinda irrelevant. but lets just say that we clicked. and we clicked really well. it was everything we both had hoped a relationship could be like. at the same time, it wasnt as if our relationship was picture perfect all the way. there were wrinkles to smoothen out and times when we had to talk even though i'd rather kick something or consume vast amounts of alcohol. (which i did once. and i havent touched vodka since)
there was one particular wrinkle that took a long time to smoothen out. a LONG time. and the fact that we had to be apart so long didnt help much either. i'm hoping it is all settled now. all thats left is to help each other heal and spend as much time together before i hop on the plane to JB. since this wrinkle has been dragging on for as long as it has, lets just say that some creases have formed.
tackle a wrinkle wrongly and you can ruin the clothing.
if you dont keep in mind the type of material of the clothing, you can burn it too
since we're on this whole wrinkle-analogy and all :P
and i said life experiences werent like t-shirts....
but you get my point.
i really have no idea how he puts up with me sometimes.
ever had a moment when something you just couldn't believe to be true, because its just so impossibly great, that you're afraid of disappointing yourself by completely trusting what it is that you want so bad in the first place which then turns out to be absolutely true, and in effect, actually humbles you?
its very powerful
NB: picture is iain sleeping with my cat and nonos...yes he slept with my sick little kitty cat (i story you about it another time) but remember, he is ALL MACHO with his CAR MANIA and ROCK AND ROLL.
