2017 is coming to an end soon. It has been one crazy ride. I met new people. Friends became strangers. Strangers became friends. Friends became family. Lover turned out to be an abuser. I found comfort in the most unexpected place. These past few months has taught me a lot about the people around me and all these lessons made me wiser. I've made so many mistakes throughout the year. I've made decisions I regret till day. I've meet people who I wished I didn't meet. But, all these moments made me for who I am today.
I've learnt that settling for anything is not good. Settling down for the first thing you get, is not always the best for you. It could bring more harm than good. It is never right to settle for the first guy that walks into your life because then you wouldn't explore and mingle around. There is always a right guy out there for you but you got to find that one and settling down for the first guy that walks into your life would not make it happen.
Liking him is never tough because his laugh and smile will draw you to him.
Anything. You will do anything just to see his smile again.
You both are very similar yet different and this attraction is the fuel for your love.
You will think this love will never die.
You will lie to your family about him.
He's the one. He's my type.
But deep down you know, he's the closest you can get.
This is settling.
So why do we keep going back to that one particular guy? Till now, I don't have an answer for that. It could be because that guy knows everything about you and does things that would attract you towards him more. But my question here is, do you know him? What are you both expecting from each other? Are you both looking for a relationship or is it just a fling?
If you knew it was just a fling, why did you keep going back to him?
If you knew it wasn't serious, why did you make him your priority?
If you knew there were no strings, why were you breaking it?
You knew all these but you fell for him without realizing.
Now you are trying to save yourself from a heartbreak.
You made him your world.
You made him your everything.
This is you hoping, he would do the same for you.
Go with the flow. Do not have any expectations, hopes or ignore him because you think that is the best. Just be you and try not to please him all the time. Don't make him your priority if he doesn't do the same for you. If he gives you 10% of his time, give him back just as much as he gives you. You got to learn to love yourself and be independent first before anything else. Another person to love you, is an amazing feeling but that love should be true and honest.
