Reminiscing and quiet optimism

I've learned now that for every single human interaction and relationship, we are bound to leave an impression or an emotion ticked. In my insomniac state now, I thought of a lot of things and what I reflected on when I travel solo recently, and how I'm quietly optimistic of the future. 

I still don't know what I'm going to do on the work front. I've not been actively seeking out for a job but I know my time is limited in my current company. I'm not complaining about my work but my peers leave much to be desired. I'm tired of the politicking that goes on and I'm tired of them trying to make a move to make themselves look better. It had been a painful journey watching my back and trying to be a better leader to my team as well.

where else on the personal front, I've started a relationship with D. It's an interesting journey so far learning about him and all that entails with being in a relationship. D is very very very different from the people I used to date. For one, he taught me about living life one day at a time. I think if we were to have a tagline, it would be we shall see. We just want to take each day as it comes, one day at a time, one moment at a time. He always say we are in this for a journey, we don't know what the destination would be, but he would be keen to explore with me. He had helped me coined Geeky Maven, guided me through some stuff, been a friend of mine for a year and never hid the fact that he liked me in that one year too. I, on the other hand, had been unsure and needed the time out from relationships. I needed to work on myself, find what makes me happy again and appreciation for my family and friends whom I had taken for granted. 

But, plunge I did into this relationship. And I'm just taking it day by day on whether I get to meet him, I try and touch base with him daily but I do forget some times! He asked me before, if I can handle him. I remember telling him this, no one can, and I for one will not be stupid enough to try. Neither do I want to change him. I need to learn how to live with him warts and all and that goes the same for him. I can't take credit for that, he taught me that too. But change him, I will not even bother to start trying. I know it can be frustrating when he retreats to his man cave. I know it will be even more frustrating when he retorts one word nonchalantly as well. But it will be the same when I do the same to him. In fact, now that he is going through a pensive mood, I can't do much but just sit by the side of his man cave, hoping that he will remember that I'm on his side, doing my own stuff, minding my own business till he is ready to come out from his man cave. And when that happens, I'll give him the biggest and tightest hug ever, because I know when the tides are turn, he would have done the same.
