I Don't Know About This Whole Growing Up Thing
Haven't blogged since my birthday... How about a rapid update?
I endure a CRAZY semester of craziness and survive. Come second sememster girl meets boy. Girl likes boy. Girl asks boy out, who says yes. Girl manages to fall for boy and just short of a month boy says he doesn't know if he really likes her as more than a friend or not.
Here's how the conversation should have gone:
Boy: I'm confused and unsure... and unsure... And I don't want to lead you on if you're going to end up hurt later because of it.
Girl: Okay. Take the time you need to think about it. We can be friends and when you know for sure I'll be around.
Oh, the glory of hindsight!!
Here's what really happened:
Boy: I'm confused and unsure.. and unsure... And I don't want to lead you on if you're going to end up hurt later because of it.
Girl: *Cry like a 2-year-old child*
So... The lesson we've learned is that it's time for Heather to grow up.
I think it's so funny how I've figure out so much from the person I used to be, but I still have these moments that just catch me off guard and I behave like a child. It makes me wonder if I'll ever really figure it all out. Not that this still hasn't left me confused and scratching my head over theories of what love is and can be and how you know when it's there, and when it's just that illusory excitement of the moment. I just hope that I'm able to live and learn and if I'm in the same situation again I'll remember to keep my head about me.
