Meeting someone new.

Meeting someone new is like opening a Christmas present, you think you know what you got, but you need to unwrap the package to know what's really inside. It's the same thing with a new person. You need to really peal all their layers to know what lays inside. There are always some exceptions to the rule. Sometimes you meet someone and you feel like you know them instantly. You click with that person in ways you haven't with anyone before. It's  hard to explain the joy you feel when finding someone who you feel totally comfortable with and who understands and supports you. But it's even harder to explain the emptyness you feel when that person isn't next to you, when he/she is so far away you can't even see or feel him/her.
In many ways, we take people that we meet in person for granted. We just don't appreciate the value of meeting someone new and having them there beside you. And sometimes, we don't even have the chance to meet new people because we're so close-minded and enclosed in our own world that we don't accept new people in our life.
The thing is, someone new gives you a whole new beginning to a new story...a story that can have so many endings or that can continue forever. It could be a new friend, a new partner, a new loved one, a new colleague or just another face that you let go. But each and every one of these stories brings something new and unexpected to your life. Because meeting someone new is like tasting a new candy, you could love it, hate it or just don't care about it.
Life is so unexpected that even in the weirdest places you can find someone worth the wait. Because we're always waiting, waiting for that person who's going to make you happy or that person who's going to help you forget about your misery or even that person who's just there to support and love you. We're always waiting and expecting someone. But sometimes, when you're not even thinking about it, that person appears and you get caught off guard. In that split moment when you're not thinking and obsessing over some imaginary person that's going to change your life forever, he/she appears. That's the beauty of life. When you want it, you won't have it. But when you don't want it, you'll definitely have it. And when you have it, it's the most beautiful thing in the world.
It's funny how most of the time, people define your mood. When you have someone you love close to you, you feel invincible. But when you're alone, you feel wrecked, sad, and not even worthy of happiness. But happiness isn't supposed to lay in the hands of another, it's supposed to lay in our own hands. We decide how to feel, we decide to be happy or miserable. Or at least that's how its supposed to be.
But people always help and that's a good thing. Sometimes we just need someone that can make us feel better by understanding and supporting us. We are social beings by nature and we need other people to survive, if we didn't, we would live in total seclusion...and that's not the case.
Meeting someone new is like getting a new book...you can love it and continue reading, you can hate it and leave the book aside or you can read it just because you want to read and then forget about it. Any way, everything is always your choice.



P.S. Meeting you was a breath of fresh air and something I will always treasure.
