Well, there's been a sufficient time gap since my last post such that I feel like I should say something again. Here goes...
There are all kinds of people that you'll meet in your life. This is one of those lessons that I'm sure I've seen on a Hallmark card at some point, but not one that really had much meaning until recently. You'll have people you like, people you dislike, and people for whom your feelings are indifferent. As for the people you dislike...well...there isn't much you can do about them. They're kind of like a disease...something that you don't like, but are inherently difficult to get rid of and as such you learn to deal with.
The people you like, on the other hand, these are the ones to really show your colors to. Make sure you know how you feel about them and they about you. Life is too short to live a guessing game, so why bother? What's the point of my rambling? Is there one? Of course!
After 23 years I think I've found a person I like more than all others. The person I speak of is...well...different than everyone else. Have you ever met someone and instantly felt a connection with him/her? The kind of person who makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you want to be a better person, and just makes life more enjoyable in general? Well, the girl I met nearly three years ago is all that and then some. Well, you can imagine that such people are few and far between. As such, I've decided to not let this one go, so I'm marrying her.
Ok, so I said that I had a point, and I do...just hard to put it to words. Ok, here goes... Don't let these good people pass you by. Make sure they know how you feel about them. For some it's as simple as saying "thanks," for others it might take a few more words. Still for others it might mean giving some token of your appreciation, and for others yet nothing less than a sparkly gemstone placed in a shiny setting coupled with a lifetime committment will do. In any case, do whatever you must, but don't let them get away, you'll regret it later on if you do.
Until next time...
