Hello, mellow.

Hey there! Long time, no talk... per usual. There have been lots of changes and lots of growing up. I feel the need to express that here without the boring details. I think a new blog is in order soon, but I appreciate the long road this one has traveled. Not so much in quantity of posts, but in the amount of time that has passed between the first ever and now. My muse has finally settled down in her sleeping near my keyboard position. We just had a photo shoot, the products of which I will post later on in this update. Hoarders in on the TV in the background and I've got about ten minutes until a fresh episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Living the life! I'm taking advantage of the cable while I'm home. I've been kicking it with my squeeze in Bloomington for the past two months now. It's been a much bigger change than I thought it would be. Taking off satisfied some need for adventure and made me realize I had to go further with it before settling in one spot. My darling and I have been growing closer and more realistic on the daily.  I don't know where life will lead the both of us. I've grown fond of morphing into a spider monkey and launching myself into his arms, only to fear hitting my head on the ceiling when we're at an even height. I think I was grossly mistaken when I thought at a previous time that no one would understand me, or that when someone loved me then they were the one who would understand all of my delicate intricacies. We all are delicate I suppose, complicated too, but very obvious. It was never that someone couldn't understand me, it was more that I was just protecting myself by withholding the greater part of my heart and giving away the trimmings. So now, here is this man who dove in head first and as much as I tried to convince both he and I that he didn't understand me in the least, he did. I tried throwing the curve balls and he asked me questions and forced me to explain why I did what I did or thought the thoughts that I had a hard time hiding from. He brought me on an adventure that made me realize I have to continue on without him directly glued by my side. I know he has to be just as scared as I am, but he doesn't let it eat him up. I've learn so much from this guy. Next up is another great adventure. Maybe this time I'll keep you updated! : )
