| "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you
shared something
special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first
kissed, the one you
first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a
pedestal, the one you're
with…and the one that got away.
Who is the one that got away?
I guess it's that person with who everything
was great, everything
was perfect, but the timing was just wrong.
There was no fault in the
person, there was no
flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I
suppose.
I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime
partner that is,
does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal
part, or maybe even
the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with
you being ready to
settle down and commit to someon e in a way that goes beyond the little
niceties of giddy
romance.
How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're
not ready to commit in
that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't
work. Small problems
become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not
ready and it shows.
It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that
it's not yet right, and
little things become the flashpoint of that fact.
Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be
ready to settle down
with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect,they might not be the
brightest star of
romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're
ready. It'll work
because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense,
it really will.
So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find
yourself to be a
different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you
finally understand
who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has
truly arrived. And
mind you, there's no telling when this day will come.
Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you
could be married
with three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed,
and for some reason,
the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You'll think
about them because you'll
wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were
together now, with me
as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is.
The biggest "What if?"
you'll have in your life.
Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case
it's the same
thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person
will probably bring
a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and
reminiscing.
But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if
it's not yet too
late? Simple…find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that
got away" means
that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?
You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If
the timing is
finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm
thinking, it would be
a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're
the one that
almost got away." | | |
| I woke up this morning...err afternoon...disappointed because i lost an hour of my day. But I was determined to make the most of it anyways. SO I decided that I needed to do some cleaning around the house...you know spring cleaning  . That ended up falling through because I got lazy after making lunch and cleaning up in the kitchen after the mess that I made...hehe. The sun reflecting on the pond in the backyard looked so nice...with the gentle breeze...unlike yesterday's strong winds that almost blew me away....so this is what I ended up doing:
the backyard..my camera phone can't capture the real beauty of it 
the book that I have to read for class... eck
being lazy...it was getting chilly and the book is boring
being silly...the end

relationship and start afresh with a new paramour.

| life is so intriguing. everyday i learn something new. whether it'd be about people, places, or just general knowledge i'm always enthralled.
you never really know what a person is like until you really talk to them. this really taught me that the saying "never judge a book by it's cover" is so true. i've always been taught that but i guess never really applied it to my life. by judging people i just end up missing out on what that relationship could have been.
so here's to the new year. creating new friendships and building on to old ones.
