You don't always come across someone that special :)

I was on the verge of collapsing because of my demanding schedule in my sophomore year in this university... and then he rocked my world. On the very first day of classes, I spotted someone really hot. But I didn't know what was hot back then. Rem that girls go for someone they think they actually deserve? Well, I used to be that person. I used to go for the wimpy kid with a sense of humor. It's not that they're less of a man, I just kind of end up getting the not-so-assertive ones. Just so that you could get my point, there was this instance in high school when I convinced myself to go out with this other person instead bec I thought he wasn't interested and then just when i was about to move on and totally forget about him, he confessed. And i quote "I've got a crush on you." (Come on guys. It's a big thing rather it's a big step to do in high school. :))) Soooo, I told myself that I wouldn't fall for them anymore. You know, the shallow rebellious stage where you alter your likes just because something you actually believe didn't work? And guess what? I still fell for the same type of guy. :) And then college came. I didn't have time to do much aside from spot the good from the bad... and no one really showed something for real so I basically focused on keeping my grades in this dream university. Andddd then on my sophomore yr, this guy came. He's too different from the other guys. I'm telling you. I guess I did learn something in the past and I've improved.:) He's just soo good but he's the type of guy I know I wouldn't be in a relationship with. I mean, his "everything" screams for "don't give it a shot, darling. your everything will be doomed." And so I didn't until the end of the semester... All I can say is, he rocks my world. It's neither in someone's kiss nor touch that we feel our significance. For that happiness may be permanent in someone but not the other half. Rather it's in the way he looked at me in the eyes and assured me something other means can't. When you see a reflection of yourself that you haven't seen before... if it's a good thing, don't let go of it. And if he's the one who showed you that mirror of yourself, then it's time to get real. You don't always come across someone that special. It's never too late. Other things work now but some things don't. Afterall, it's only bound to wither if it's just infatuation. And this one seems not like that. So as I face this 2014, I'll head towards something for real... I'm excited for something out of my league.

When I was in my sophomore year at Uni I just loved meeting all kinds of people male or female. Some became very good friends others moved on as they do. Some I dated because I thought they would be good company and fun to be with. More often than not we use to go out in groups which I thoroughly enjoyed. At that time in my life I was more interested in my studies rather than who was hot and who was not. University is a fantastic place to better hone in on communication and social skills, to learn how to respect and appreciate others, to explore the things people have in common and the things they do differently. It is the perfect environment to understand your personality type, test your character and develop good people skills. I totally treasured my days at Uni.
