Random Thought For The Day: I was reading through my journal (I am narcissistic, I do this from time to time) and I came across something I thought I would share with my hoards of readers.
Just a little background - I had been building this friendship with this guy (who I ended up dating and now write to him while he serves a two year mission - 2 more months to go!). This was written a day or two after the first time that he called me pretty.
Dear Diary (March 3, 2009)
"If I gain nothing else from this I at least got a guy who gives me butterflies tell me that I am pretty, and made me feel special and worth something."
Because I think this is something that everyone should be able to think/feel at some time in their life.
Speaking of which, this reminds me of a guy this last fall. At first, I had no clue he liked me until one night we were hanging out in a group and he wrapped his arm around me, even then, I wasn't sure (even now, after there's more to this story, still not sure), it was awkward to say the least. The next night a big group of us were at a party and one of my sisters had made a cake, everyone was complimenting me for it so I was sure to let them know I hadn't done it. I told the people in the kitchen that I had not made it, I didn't have that kind of talent. The aforementioned guy said, "Yeah, but you got all the looks." That's one way to say it I suppose, but the funny part was that my other sister was standing in the room so I said, "Have you met my sister?", which, in fact, he had not and his face turned cherry red. I love making people fell uncomfortable.
1. Count me among the hoards
ReplyDelete2. You are pretty. Very pretty.
3. Yay 2 months!
4. The entire idea that someone else finds us attractive I think is an absolutely basic emotional need. We all need to feel attractive, needed, and desired on some level. Anybody who denies this is just lying to them self.
5. I like lists.
And I like you!
