I think I’ve rapidly fallen in love with a girl after less than 2 months. Known her from work for about 7 years though and have crushed on her the whole time, just assumed she was out of my league. Turns out she was in the same mindset. Just too shy and scared of rejection to make a move before, and never felt like the right time. Seems to be moving along fast, but I am already sure she’s something special and it feels like we’re made for each other. Fit so well together we could almost hear us click.
I could go on and write some paragraphs but I’ll spare y’all. Suffice to say, I’ve been around a bit and I’ve never felt such a powerful connection and attraction to anyone. Never had so much in common with another person. All these feelings are very foreign to me. All people are different to some degree, but I’ve always thought the quote “ opposites attract” was bullshit when talking about people. Feels too good to be true, but I really can’t imagine her or me actually screwing this up now. She’s the closest I’ve ever seen to perfection. My big rules are no cheating, and no abuse of any kind, be it physical or other. Those are deal breakers. Almost anything else I can forgive and probably sympathize with. I’ve made some bad decisions before. Not worried though, she’s pretty responsible and mature and has a 5 year old son she has sole custody of. She’s doing a lot better than I probably did when my son was 5. Very cute, sweet, well behaved kid. A kindness and respect for others not often seen in children at his age.
I got her now, so no sense in rushing anything else... aside from having children, marriage is the biggest decision one can make in life, and I like to think I’ve learned from my friends and brothers that have divorced. So not gonna hurry but for the first time in my life, I’m comfortable with the thought of spending the rest of my life with one person. We’ll give it a few more years just to make sure though
The TreeHouse (and TB, but TH is where I’m most comfortable sharing personal stuff) is the closest thing I have to social media, and I really felt like sharing this with you guys and gals. Her name is Antoinette, and everyone calls her Toni.
I guess I wrote some paragraphs after all, oh well.
Feels bizarre to be so happy about anything these days.
