I found you while I was looking for me....

When you go through life assuming that your plan is set in stone, you don't really think that your life is going to change. Not the normal day to day changes - But the BIG, smack you in the face, make you look yourself in the mirror changes. But then it happens - Surely it's not happening to you, But it does and before you know it, you are Smitten, In Love, and can't even think what your life was like before without this person in it. And that's how it started: You see I had given up on love, I didn't want to be loved, I didn't want to love anyone else. I was over love and over heartbreak - My heart literally hurt - which makes sense in hindsight, but hindsight always does. :) This young man, came into my life and wanted to be in more and I swore up and down I didn't want him there - I didn't need him there. I'm strong and I was taught never to need anyone that didn't need you. I lived my life this way - Wants and Needs were very different in my life. I wanted one thing and man does that matter, but needing was necessity, I needed very little. And love was something I didn't need, at least not in the romantic sense. But as persistent as he was, I started to notice the change, the change from wanting to be around him because it was "Fun" and I smiled more and needing him around me to make me happy. It was in that moment, I felt what my mother had always said. You have to be friends, before you can be lovers. No Way, opposites attract, I couldn't believe it - SHE WAS RIGHT! I wanted to hang out, I wanted to see him, I wanted to talk to him. Its because he was my... Friend. I valued him like I valued all of my other friends in my group and that was the moment, I knew it was love. The moment that my needs became wants and my friends became lovers and all of the stars aligned and I finally took the advice, Do what makes you happy. Make yourself smile, Be 100% yourself and the right people will join you in your journey of life.
