Rambles about my 1/4
I feel blessed to have met the quarter. I remember an old friend said to me that I need to find someone like my quarter (his descriptions pretty much sums the quarter up, and at that time I haven't met my quarter yet). And when I first went out with him, I admit I only did with the intention of just having one coffee out of politeness, and out of loneliness. Also because I found him intriguing since he came across as such an intelligent guy.
When I scanned through his Facebook at first (best tool to stalk, I mean, research on potential mates), I thought I don't think I would like this guy very much, although he sounds super smart (always, ALWAYS an attraction for me). He appears to be like one of those poyo guys who flaunt material things. The fact that he's a corporate dude who kinda works for the government turned me off even more. I have always been a bit leftist so I thought it would be entertaining to see how these people think.
And then in one of his messages to me he said, I am like you, but I can't show it, I have to hide it because of the corporate environment I am in. Interesting.
And then I went out with him, we spoke in depth, my judgement was wrong and everything else is history.
Amazing how someone whom you think is so different from you actually turns out to be so much alike, and such a natural fit that now you cannot imagine living your life without him.
It's amazing to share a lot of the same interests, and having the patience to appreciate the ones that are different.
(And among those interests are music, and visiting places - which I will post about in two separate posts after this).
I don't know much about how relationships work, but I think being able to do this is very healthy. Sharing interests and learning about your partner's. It may be ridiculous like cars (his) and clothes and every social media communication tool (me) - yes we're a walking cliche - but slowly, I think I am learning to appreciate the differences.
Maybe it is part of growing up. Like learning to be calmer and less temperamental, which I have felt much more when I am around him. And doing things that previously I would never bother to do like, clean the entire house happily, and raising my OCD level up a notch when it comes to cleanliness.
I like that he is making me a better human being, someone braver and more independent. Someone who is not a lazy princess. And I like that he has faith in my intelligence and capabilities, although for that part I am not brave enough to move onto greener pastures yet.
Maybe soon. Maybe tomorrow.
P.S. Sorry for the messy posting. I am doing this at work.
