Girlfriends

Apologies for taking a few days off. Thing have gotten crazy in my world pretty quickly, but are starting to untangle quite nicely. My first update comes from a surprise last week.

As you may have read, the week was a bit bumpy. Unexpected drama will do that to you, or at least to me. I talked to my new interest about this for a good bit. Well, Thursday these INCREDIBLE flowers show up at work. I was simply floored. And I do mean floored.

This is just one of the many reasons I greatly prefer girlfriends to boyfriends. Not only is it like I've come home to where I belong, but I'm finally dating a genre of person that "gets it" and enjoys doing these cutesy things. Now, I am not used to being spoiled and I am adamant that I will not be a "kept woman" so to speak. But the romantic factor gets lots of "oooo"s and "awwwwhs" from me. And my coworkers.

Girls are just... I can't describe it. Any doubts I've ever had about the way I roll, the team I bat for, insert euphemism here... gone. I've found where I belong. I've found my niche. I've found the way to live my life and I have found a person I want to spend my time with. It's just dating... or going steady... or whatever antiquated language you want to use. It's beautiful and sincere.

The best thing I did was dare to give it a try. To break from the norms that were hammered into my head. I found out more about who I was... who I wanted to be... and who I've always been. Taste true happiness and you can never go back to mediocrity.
