Out of my element.

Who am I these days? A completely different person. I know that we change according to things, people, time, and situations but.. this change was un-called for. My life has been doing all sorts of crazy flips and dances lately. Life is beautiful once again. I am lively, and more optimistic. I never used to publicize my personal life, and I don't like to either. But where else do I express my feelings? Right here.. I might stop posting links to Facebook because that's where I get most of my views. I will still keep posting on the blog, though.

What's the greatest thing about being in a relationship? The new sort of tingling sensation of meeting almost everyday. The curiosity and get-to-know each other phase. Finding out likes and dislikes and settling on your similarities and differences. I am not gonna be a hypocrite; I wrote a blog about taking things too fast and how they land flat on the ground. I might be headed that way. But I guess sometimes, it really isn't in your control. Now it makes me wonder, that I should think from both sides of the coin before I blog my feelings. I guess, being on this side of the road has taught me to respect the other side a little bit more.

It's fascinating to look forward to something after heaps of workload. And it's another thing to get distracted and not doing the heaps of workload. I think I am bouncing back and forth between both. My goal is to strike a balance. Somehow, it's really hard for me. I'd like to stop distracting myself and actually handle everything efficiently. Some of you might laugh and think, what the hell? But the truth is, it's hard to keep your priorities in focus when you have so many distractions.

He is a workaholic who works crazy hours a day yet still finds time to be good to me. It's good to see that he wants his career in perspective before he entangles himself in a relationship. It's not only a sign of a mature man, but also of someone who understands his responsibilities well. The best thing is, I don't feel neglected even if his work is over-powering him. He deals with everything effectively; I don't know if you wanna call it striking a balance. May be, I should learn from him and take it as an inspiration to stop slacking.

I guess it's a 50-50 thing and takes two to strike that perfect balance. We have come to terms with meetings, timings and getting organized. It begins today. Our new mantra is to take account each other's feelings, yet work on those important things in life simultaneously. Not only is it important to strike a balance between your priorities, but also your emotions. It is the most difficult part of any relationship.

My key is to have realistic expectations, not those fairy-tale kinds. Having reasonable expectations is the key to a non-stressful, less dramatic relationship. Example, you cannot expect a man with his own business to devote crazy hours to you. Emotional support is the foundation here. It strengthens your bond even though you might not be able to see each other for long periods of time. Being emotionally dependent can sometimes be a good thing; as long as you can draw the line somewhere.

I can go on and on about this.. but you get the point right? Adios :)
