The Living End
Where it all comes together
I'm not in love...
Ever since starting with Brian I have been mulling over whether our relationship had a future. If I even wanted it to have a future. I care about him. That much was clear but I couldn't figure out if it could grow into love or if we were most likely good friends that sleep together. On top of that I was having everyone around me waiting for me to bail. Apparently, I run if it gets too serious. Everytime I talked to Marcie, Sako, of any member of my family, they would ask me if we were still together and then looked suprised when I would say that we were. This all made me wonder if I really wanted to be with him or if I just didn't want to prove everyone right.

But last week, I stopped being a chicken asked Brian about our relationdship. I was terrified that he felt more for me than I did for him but I also didn't want to be rejected. Ultimately, we decided that we weren't a perfect match but that we worked well together. He listened to my concerns like a champ and in the end we are still together but with a clearer understanding of our relationship. Now, I don't feel guilty for still looking for my one and only because I know that Brian is doing the same thing. We are just choosing to do it together.

And knowing is half the battle.

It's sobering to read something like this and bear witness to the multitude of relationship types. I used to think only compatible people were together, then I saw people together simply because they did not want to be alone, then I witness true love, all the while not pursuing any of my own endeavors. I don't know what love will be like for me and the idea of searching for love with someone kind of lets me know that it's okay not to look alone.

Its definately different for me. I've never been in a relationship like this before. Its nice because I know when we split and we will split that we will still be good friends; a first for me.
