Know thyself

Sunrises are magical... such a beautiful display of colour harmoniously arranged! The fascination may come from it's ephemeral uniqueness... 
 
So I keep making these sporadic entries but it is what it is... So much has happened between this and the last entry -both highs and lows- but now it is one of those periods where having experienced a lot I process a lot!

So, following a couple of incidents with a guy who --yet again-- happened to be a commitment-phobe (I seriously don't know what I do to attract their kind but I certainly don't stick around to find out either!), I met a guy who has somewhat restored some of my faith in the opposite sex.

No two sunrises are alike, not just because nature is just too grand to need to repaint the same picture every day but also because as the observer, we are never the same person. 

Nothing but friendship will come out of this relationship (alas!) but in the little time I have known him I can say I have discovered quite a bit. It never ceases to amaze me, life's little ironies, how people come into your life briefly can leave such an indelible mark.

I am a firm believer though that [people's] paths cross right when they should although the reason why this is may elude us... understanding the "why?", may take us a while, but there is always at least one reason for this "why?".

In my case, the restored faith came also with knowing what type of attraction I want to feel towards a man; what conversations I want to have; the ease with which I want to interact...

Sounds obvious but like many things in life, sometimes although you know that you haven't found what you are looking for, you don't really know WHAT it is what you are looking for...
Now I am closer to knowing it than I was a month and a half ago...

Sunrises (and sunsets for that matter) are the epitome of realisation; a moment where everything seems to "click" and make sense... a tranquility that fills us with joy and relief for we no longer feel like the clueless and contradictory beings we otherwise are.
