Dating.
It feels so weird to start over with someone new over and over again. But I’m here for it, last year I could not see myself talking to anyone new, if we weren’t friends before then you probably wouldn’t have any chance with me. Life is unexpected and that’s the beauty of it all. You never really know who you’re going to end up with, and so shutting myself off is not really helping.
I think meeting someone new is fun, it’s fresh and you can recreate yourself. You don’t have to be who you were last year, you can choose who you want to be with that person whereas if it’s with someone you’ve always known it can be kind of hard to make them believe that you are not the person they remember you as. For example I’ve dealt with depression in the past and so the people I was talking to at the time knew about it. They remember me as this shy, sad person but that’s not who I am right now! I am more confident, happier, stronger and wiser… it will be hard for them to accept the change but when I meet someone new now all they see is who I am now and that’s what I want. I don’t like it when people remember me as this sad, weak little person. I am rewriting my story and I want to be with someone who sees me for who I am now not who I was a year ago. I am not that person anymore…
