He's Not "The One"

Through the past two months that I’ve been in a relationship, a few times someone will teasingly ask me, “So, do you think he’s the one?” I know they’re being cute, I know they’re excited about what’s happening in my life, but that’s actually a very hard question for me. It confuses my heart, and I never really know how to answer it without a long explanation.

Current Emotion: Resolution?

It’s that time of year again. Today is a new day, new month, a new year. The past few days I’ve been bombarded with “Welcome to 2014!” signs, “Happy New Year!” well-wishings, and “Here’s to 2014 being better than 2013!” spoken with an attitude that is half-sarcastic and half-mournful, smothered in projected hope.

I think that the last one actually makes me sad in the long run. Was 2013 bad, or are we hoping to get it even better suddenly?
