Since I Know You Don’t Read My Blog Anyways

I’ve been trying a number of different approaches to writing this blog post in order for it to be not too cheesy and not too serious, but I just couldn’t seem to find the perfect words. So, today, I have resolved to say it the best way I can, and in the manner I am accustomed to – through simple, straightforward words.

Since I know you don’t read my blog anyways, let me begin by saying that I am grateful that the universe conspired for us to meet each other. We met at a time when we were both not searching for that special someone. Instead, both of us wanted to focus on other aspects of our lives. I know it was all by chance, but I know you feel it too that the connection (or maybe even the spark?) was immediately there.

I love it how we’re both taking things very slowly. After all, it has only been two months since we’ve known each other. Also, we both just got out of relationships. I’m glad that we’re on the same page that this time around, perhaps it’s best to get to know each other really well before entering into anything serious.

I love it that I can easily tell you anything and everything, and you will not judge me for my past or for my beliefs. (You will judge me, though, on my poor grammar; but that’s alright, because I will do the same to you.) I’m glad that you are, first and foremost, my “best friend” (with benefits?) before anything else.  I love it that we can talk about our future together and still keep a level head about these things.

Lastly, I don’t want to say it too often because the words might lose their meaning, but I love you, I really do.

(And if you ever get to read this blog post, I will plead insanity or inebriation at the time of writing.)

Writing

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I don’t really know who or what influenced me, but way back in elementary, as soon as we were allowed to join a club/organization, I immediately knew which one to join – the school newspaper. I’ve ventured into all kinds - from writing in Filipino (the “lathalain” was my personal fave, i.e. a Filipino feature story), to writing poetry; from attempting to draft screenplays, to writing the more common prose forms.

The problem with me, though, is that I don’t exactly have a firm commitment with my writing - I write whenever I want to, wherever I want to. I write as a form of release of whatever feelings or emotions I have deep down inside me, but I’ve never really kept track of whatever I write. I’ve started blogs, only to delete them after some time. I sometimes find pieces of paper inserted in my books, notebooks or planners, with my scribbled thoughts in the form of literary what-have-you’s.

Today, I tell myself to try to maintain a record of everything I write. I guess it’d also be nice to have a compilation so that in the future, I can have a good trip down memory lane of my previous thoughts and words.  And one more thing – every time I find a loose sheet of something I’ve written previously, it might be good to keep them, or perhaps post some in this blog for archiving purposes.
