The Whole "Waiting For the Right Person" Thing

Hey, folks.    

      So more than ever, I admit, I find myself desiring that whole "best girl friend I can go to/want to go to at the end of the day" relationship. I read the Hunger Games recently, and you can see that type in Katniss, the protagonist, and Gale, her best friend. The type of relationship that comes so natural and is extremely intimate. And though neither of them admits it, they're secretly desirous of each other. We see so much of that in movies, shows, books, etc. I don't know where you guys are at, but many of my friends are getting married/engaged to the woman or man they call their best friend. One of my friends recently got engaged. I know both him and his fiance personally and love how their personalities gel with each other. It really makes me want that relationship, the more I see it.

      The thing is, it's easy for me to want that relationship because I want...the relationship. I want to be able to vent my day and all the happenings of it to somebody. I want to know I can lean on someone and they're cheering me on. I want someone who will listen to my ideas, philosophies, and troubles. But, am I necessarily caring about that person or who they are? Do I just want the relationship for the benefits of it? Maybe it's an ego booster for me.

      What I'm learning is that...I just need to be living life. One day at a time, enjoying the relationships that have been given to me. I have friends, family, and people I come into contact with every day. These people all need love, attention, a listening ear, and help from time to time as well. They all have something to share, something I can learn from. They all have problems. They all have some days that are rough. They all have philosophies and stories they want to share. Why not learn about them? Why not learn about other people? They're people too, right?

     Besides, the person that I should end up with should be someone that I'm genuinely interested in. Not how they make me feel, or what they give to me, but what I like/love about them. Their character, their goals, their interests, their ambitions, their philosophies, and their dreams. Someone I can enjoy listening to and talking to. I want to admire them, not just adore them. Look up to them in some ways, even. And the more I learn about her, the more I love her, the more I never want to be apart from her. And from there...I tell her how I feel, and hope/wish she feels the same way. That they take the same interest in me. (It's really that simple. Why is this so complicated for some people?)

      So my point is...I can wait for that. I don't need it to come immediately. I, or anyone, shouldn't rush into it when I do find it. It's something I'll want to cherish. It's something that I will have no shadow of a doubt of when I find it. So until then, I need to reflect on who I am, and fight to be the right kind of person. The person people would want to know. Someone with character, with traits, hopes, and ambitions they can respect. That way I'll be the best version of myself for that girl. The one that I fit with best. Then the two of us can impact, give to, and change the lives of others around us together, hand-in-hand. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the relationships I have with my family and with my friends as I strive to reach my dreams and help those around me.

I hope you all find someone like that. Until then, keep enjoying life and love everyone!

Why I Started This Blog

      Hey folks!

I started this blog on the account that there is a whole world out there full of thought, controversy, philosophy, heart, mind, soul, and just raw curiosity. I love getting out my thoughts and I think that communication and talking about things is the a great way to let people know where you're at and figure out where other people are at. I love talking about what I learn and have an open ear. I hope that stopping by and reading here people will be able to be who there are, express how they feel, and take something away too. We all have a life to live and it's we all want to shout out something as well as want something to hold on to along the way. So basically, I wanna tell you who I am and I wanna know who you are. What are your experiences, interests, philosophies? Talk to me!!!

Much love,

Paul
