"You"

Now the one thing i rarely do is talk about personal life like going on dates, who I am seeing and so forth...I generally keep that kinda stuff pretty quiet.

BUT....
(you knew that was coming)

I recently encountered a scenario, a specific person who will go by the name of sweetcheeks in this particular blog. This is someone that im getting to know, we havent "banged" or anything like that, its been a clothes on affair...unfortunately LoL. Moving on...

Genearlly, i like to know where people are coming from...two reasons, everyone likes to know where they stand. Secondly, ive done a lot of personality alteration in the recent months...a lot of positive reading and generally, I think im a better person now then i have ever been. That makes things more interesting for me, to see how people view me now, opposed to in the past.
I asked her this question,

"what do you like about me anyways..."

She responds with this, "you"... I give her an akward look, squint my eyes a tad and say..."you, thats it...you? There has to be something?!" I dug a lil more, eventually to stop myself. Something had just happend that i wouldnt have identified a few months back. I wasnt happy with YOU, I wanted to hear a bunch of GREAT things, when YOU (standing alone) was a wonderful thing. She liked me for me, didnt overevaluate it, judge it... just let it be. How could I critisize that, or look for anymore from a person...

It was simple, straight forward and so RIGHT IN MY FACE that i almost squashed the comment (which is something many of us do, our need for vindication) instead of taking a step back and accepting what she had to say. In doing so, realizing that it was pretty much exactly what i wanted to hear and about the nicest thing she could have said.
