The thing I like about meeting someone new

So everytime you meet someone new... be it a friend, or someone of romantic interest you start fresh.  I love that.  Clean slate.  You can be funny with each other.  You can laugh and joke.  You can just keep things super fun and chatty and it's refreshing.

When you try and talk to people that you used to know or people from your past?  It's soooooooo hard.  It's like they are constantly hung up on things you might have done in the past or who you might have been.  And we're always new and changing people.

So when I meet someone new I just love it because they can't judge me on my past.  They don't know me.  We have no history together.  So they can't be angry or sad or mad or anything.  It's just happy and glad and great and awesome.  I really love it.

I think the goal is to just keep it as fun and easy going as long as possible.  Then when things get all seriousface and sad or mad or fighty or angsty or any of that... it's time to part ways I suppose.  Some people last longer than others... but it seems like eventually there's something that happens or some event and it's time to just move on.

I always have that in the back of my mind when I first meet someone though.  I'm always like I wonder how long this person will stick around.  I mean eventually all things end... all friendships end... all relationships... it just happens.  I think it's the natural course of life... beginning-middle-end.  I'm ok with that.  I used to be like WHYYYYY?!?!?!  But now I'm just like you know what?  That's ok.  Sometimes you might know someone a few hours... sometimes a few days... sometimes a few months... or if you get lucky a few years... I think knowing someone for decades is just very rare.  But... just have to take it as it comes.  I wonder who I'll meet next????  Just have to wait and see I guess!
