Quip from Friday's date.

Matt: You're trouble for sure.

Me: I use that word a lot. Curious - define 'trouble'?

Matt: With you, trouble is the ability to break down one’s inhibitions to the point where you get the raw, uninhibited, true nature of a person. I like that in you-

It's been a roller coaster summer. Bob and I split, I dated someone briefly that then turned out to be a bad self involved person, and one of my best friends died unexpectedly. But this weekend, I had a date that lasted 60 hours. He just left. I met him last weekend, we had drinks twice last week, and can't stop thinking about him. There were countless times where someone asked either of us who our boyfriend was. We danced around my living room til late at night, we talked about how important it is for whomever we are with to be a true and honest person, and we already cried just from cuddling because we each felt so safe and loved. If he stays around, great things are going to happen. And he already left his toothbrush on the sink :)

sent him an email

saying that I’m dating someone and I wanted you to hear it from me before someone else or facebook or somewhere else.  i felt that was the right thing to do.

no response yet after 1.5 days.  I understand that it could be felt or thought of as too soon from him.  but someone comes along and wants to hang out with you and wants to spend time and is handsome and funny and a good guy.  it can be worth a try.

so i take his non-response as an “i’m hurt and surprised and don’t know what to say” but it’s tough - i’d been lonely for a while and I really needed him around.  it’s been nice the past month to enjoy someone who is very much interested in hanging out.

it’s just frustrating.  i thought he was “the one” but the distance became something that felt too one-sided to manage.  i get to explore and move beyond loneliness but change always is tough.

do you wish you were straight?

Everyday.

This makes me sad.

There are few things I thank whatever god may or may not be up there every day and the first thing I thank her for is for making me gay.  I cannot be happier every day and it pains to see someone who doesn’t appreciate the same love.

It's been a week. Been running more, hanging closer to my friends, planning a trip to see family. I miss Bob, but too much of my life was here in Houston and I needed life and love to happen here every day. Running onto the next chapter in life now.
