I never would've guessed that I would open my year with a post regarding this subject. Even just last week my only definite plans for NYE consisted of a quiet dinner at home, maybe a peek at the live fireworks through my kitchen window, and catching most of the festivities on the tube. But then the universe throws a little twist my way, and unfurls this familiar situation into my here and now. And I won't attempt a plea for sympathy by involving you with the details, but I will tell you where I find myself after five days of knowing said twist. After five whole days, three of which were spent together, the twist keeps feeling the need to remind me that it's always better for a relationship to start as a friendship. I agree 100%. But why the need to repeat this fact at every opportunity? It seems more like because the twist is feeling something more and is suppressing or not allowing said feeling to flourish. The constant repetition makes me think I do want more, even though I understood what twist meant the first time. And that's not all. Coz it gets even better...
