We all have different formats in us. I visited with an old friend this week. Always enjoy long talks with her. I always understand myself better after talking with her. She ask me a question this week that I didn't know the answer to until she asked and I answered. Maybe I understand more because she asks the right questions, more than the advice she gives; maybe both. So she was asking me about my path with my partner. I guess most would call him boyfriend but that seems so unfitting. She asked what was next. I assume that meant the normal options, cohabitation, engaged, married????? But I loved my immediate answer better. So what comes next she asked with candor? I answered... "What life brings us!". I have no idea what that is and I am okay with that. For the first time ever I feel confident to let life flow, knowing that he and I can adapt. No need to control, no need to wonder what if. No need to doubt if he can weather a storm.
I think I have found the acoustic format of my life...it's richness is not lost on me. : )
This old friend truly enjoys spending time with you and you being okay with me asking the candid questions. You are a blessing.
