It has been quite a while since my last post. In the interim I have traveled to the Middle East, returned to a boyfriend I was missing immensely and just overall enjoyed life.
Recently I was talking with a friend who is in the first stages of a relationship {those anxiety ridden days are hopefully behind me :)}. She was expressing her fears and confusion and desire to know where it was going.
My response? Just relax about it and enjoy the moment. I really tried to employ this philosophy this year and with this relationship. And you know what? It really is great advise and it has helped tremendously I think in moving my relationship along. I discovered a sense of understanding about myself and my abilities to cope with new situations and quickly progressing emotions that I haven't had before. Even if it doesn't work out with this relationship, I think relaxing and enjoying the moments I do have with this amazing guy is rewarding.
