Lazy Monday



FREE PEOPLE CARDIGAN & VEST, NSF PANTS, DV BY DOLCE VITA SHOES

Thank you for the response to my last post. Although I don't claim to be extraordinarily gifted, through words I've found another means to express myself in ways that have become almost second nature. Ever since I can remember I've always been better at writing than I am at talking, mainly because I have the time to thoroughly think things out and formulate the exact meaning I want to convey.

With pen in hand or a keyboard within reach, stringing words together so that they form sentences, and for those sentences to become paragraphs is still an awe that leaves me breathless. I add each period with a great sense of accomplishment and calm, as it brings me one step closer to a healthy mind.

Changing subjects: dating. I've always been very defensive of myself. A proven natural instinct, but something tells me otherwise. It's the pre-first-date-butterflies. The type that seems to turn your stomach upside down, soak your palms with a ridiculous amount of sweat and make your heart beat ten times faster than normal. Maybe the jitters are my natural defense mechanism. Maybe it's fear of being put in a vulnerable situation. Maybe the outcome of the "first date" scares me. Maybe I contemplate too much on what should happen and what I should say and do during the date. In truth, it's all of the above. The whole thing scares me. Period.

I'm often asked what type of guy I like. Two words: Andy Samberg. My soul mate, KZ, knows exactly what I'm talking about.

XOXO,

My writing style is binary opposite than you. I write with abandon, and my writing often writes itself. I hardly edit myself, and often find adding more and more each time I proof... but I'm a spinner of fiction, not insightful prose as you write. I think that's why I resonate more with your writing than with mine, because you write truth from the heart, and I write fiction to infuse my heart's words into other people's mouths.

And OMG, Andy Samberg is kind of my dream beau. A skinny, funny, musical, nerdy sort of dude. Kind of like Nate, but without the skinny/musical part. :) If Andy Samberg and Ben Barnes (King Caspian - Narnia) became a hybrid, that would be, like, my dream come true.

Uh yeah, you get me. I get you. I smell what you're cookin'. :)

Re: dating. It's a bitch. It's scary and cringe-worthy. But it can also lead to some awesome knock-you-off-your-feet lovin! It took me a while to put my guard down after being hurt in other relationships, but it was the best thing I did. Sometimes you just have to let go and realize that you deserve to be loved. :)

Are you an English major Llily? Because I love the way you write. ;) God knows dating is not my cup of tea, especially living in a city like London where you get a mix of guys, half of which are douche bags riding on their parents' money, it's like why do I even try to look attractive on a Friday night? *rolling my eyes*

lol ;)
