The Love Around Me

Hi Blogger,

Thank you for always being an outlet for me... for my stress to come out and a place I can type out my thoughts without judgement and fear.
I've been officially back in the US this summer for one month and had a short but sweet summer fling. I'm not going to go into that much detail about this fling, but it just made me appreciate the people around me all the more.
My heart was opened a bit prematurely, different from what I would usually do in any situation and I gained an interesting experience as well as a successful failed experimentation. I admit that I saw the red flags, and something in the back of my mind continued to warn me as I saw the break up coming the moment it was brought up. I gotta say though, I think my intuition is amazing!

But I have to thank my friends and my family (my mother). On my list on my profile, number one will always be my friends and family. They are who taught me how to be single, to not crave a romantic relationship in my life.
My tutor once told me, a romantic relationship is basically a best friend with the physical aspect. These words continue to ring true in my head. My friendships can hurt me just as deeply.
I'm glad that things ended before I went in deeper, although feeling a bit unwanted, I still have my friends to lay back on. This is why I always say, my friends come first, because they supported me when I was single, why would I abandon them for someone who could abandon me at any time?

I believe I'm living a healthy life... and I'm not in a rush for anything. I'll continue to grow to be a person I can be proud of.
