Brand new shoes, walking blues.
Funny enough, I got brand new blue walking shoes today. Took them for five miles this evening. They did the trick.
I think friendship is the best foundation for any relationship. And I think friendship is fucking wonderful on its own, too. So I'm not looking to get off with someone– I'm looking to get on with someone.
I'm a single dad with partial custody. Closing in in a year since moving out and the divorce. Most days and nights, I'm alone. It's been an adjustment. I've learned a lot, though. Plus with all the extra time, I'm more active than I've ever been. Down 30 lbs since April. Gonna hit 50 lbs by the end of the year. I'll be the healthiest I've ever been soon- physically and mentally. Self-improvement is the goal, not the journey. I see now personal growth should be continuous. Same goes for relationships.
I used to think someone would complete me. That all I need is love. That good relationships just develop naturally. But like I said, I've learned a lot.
Maybe you're on your own journey. And maybe we can grow individually and together.
So say hello if you feel this. And maybe say a couple other words, too. For example, you can go the Amelie route and say a few idiosyncratic joys you have. I like smelling the inside of orange peels, walking in the rain, and squeezing marshmallows even though I don't like the taste. Or say why you wrote or what's on your mind. Or don't do any of that and just have a lovely night.
Either way, dear stranger, I hope you find more than you're looking for.
Cheers.
