Wow it really has been a while since I posted something here hasn't it? Well long story short I've been a little busy working part time, passing of my rabbit (sleep well my sweet little boy) and most of all lack of proper inspiration. This post came up as I was watching some anime (don't worry I'm not going to throw in some lesson I learned from it because there wasn't one) its been one year since I've let go of my first love. Its a tragic love story that I alone will carry but that is the destiny of those who follow the path of a ninja. There were times I wonder if I should change the way I am or if I should just be content with living a single life. I suppose staying true to myself is better than becoming something I'm not. Then the feelings for the other girl showed up about halfway during the year. When I look back on it I find it ironic that we were around each other so much; getting a ride to school from my roommate, running into each other randomly on campus and working with each other that one time. Some of the posts that I've written leading up to this one have been about me wondering about the other, but struggling between my own physical feelings and the spiritual ones. I really think that this feeling arose from a physical feeling, but something inside my soul says to try to investigate it (though I could be wrong and its really my gut).
One instance of this is our personalities. I'm quiet and reserved and she's loud and extraverted. In the sad world I call reality these aren't traits that compliment each other. Therefore it pretty much equals not a chance. Though one moment emotionally for me was that one time I mentioned in a earlier post. Abridged version: she saw me in a combination of big stress and my strange anime withdrawal. Now most girls find my anime withdrawal as a strange thing (I need some kind of exposure to anime otherwise my day isn't complete) but she was fine with it which was surprising. She once told me that she watches some anime herself (and it wasn't the mainstream stuff either one series was one that I enjoyed a year back). Like I always say when a girl tells me this I find it attractive, because nerd love is good too. For some reason I was able to awkwardly show my real self and be accepted. Maybe this one incident was a fluke and probably shouldn't be a factor but it feels like I was able to reveal a part of myself to her.
Well that was the story of these past few months, what comes next I don't know. I suppose the real test is if I should do anything or not about these feelings. I may or may not see her that often due to the fact that I may be really busy with work. Though if God retains his sense of humor from these past few months then I just might be able to see her around (I guess you can say that we might be neighbors). So the ninja will once again boldly walk forward and confront these feelings of doubt and wonder. Perhaps I'll learn something once more from these feelings.
