What a Difference a Month Makes, Right?!

What was to be a weekend in the city with my best friend in the world, has now turned into a long weekend of self-reflection due to a change in MSD’s plans. I’ve known for a few weeks, but couldn’t bring myself to give back the personal days off from work I had already secured. It seemed like a great chance to spend some quality time with myself, with the city, and away from the capitalist sandbox which takes so much out of me every week.

There have been quite a few developments since my last post. Never could I have predicted what good luck would be awaiting me around the dark and cynical corner. I’ve met someone...but I shall leave it at that. This blog has a history of getting me in trouble with people with which I am romantically involved. Not that it’s not good for an object of my affection to know exactly what I’m thinking; but it does hinder a relationship if the object learns about my feelings online before I have a chance to bring him up to speed. What I will say is that the past four weeks have been very pleasurable due to the current object of my (rarely-exhibited) affection. And just in time for summer!

It’s been quite some time (approximately 18 months) since I’ve felt the need to give in to my emotions. I’ve become known amongst my friends as being a hard-ass, with little interest for anything more that meaningless sex and one-to-two-night stands. But it doesn’t take long, once you start getting to know me, to realize that DWM is not impossible to crack. It just takes the right person(s) to crack me. And like anything else that gets cracked, it’s not long before the crack turns into a crevice, and the crevice turns the original entity into something else entirely.

I’m at a very exciting time in my life, or at least it seems like I am. I have a great apartment, an abundance of interesting friends, a new relationship that shows promise, an approaching three-year anniversary with my agency, not to mention that I still live in the greatest city in the world (no matter what Madonna might say)…

What a difference a month makes, right? It just shows you what a fresh human connection can do for the spirit of a human being. Oh, and the nicer weather helps! Don’t get used to this upbeat tone. I’ll probably be back down in the dumps before Memorial Day. Just sayin’ :)
