my_window_seat | And speaking of social skills...

There's been a lot going on. So much so that I haven't had energy or brain space to post about it in months. Which is kind of a drag, because the majority of it - is damn good stuff. Like, awesomely good. Like, stuff going well in the kinds of ways I don't even really know how to process. A little too much at once a lot of the time - but a lot of it good. Yeah.

One of these days, I'll try to give a coherent synopsis. Maybe next week, when the immediate madness of the Semester From Hell is finally finished.

And maybe I can start doing that thing where I actually REPLY to people again, and let them know that yes, I do care about their lives. Not just lurk and send them unsaid happy thoughts and shit. Lame.

One of the things that's been particularly good over these last few months is something that doesn't need a complicated synopsis to explicate.

For the last few months, there's been this really wonderful person in my life.

For the last few months, there's been so much going on that a lot of the time, I've had to go tunnel vision just to deal with it. I've felt in over my head and a lot of the time just wanted to give up and roll up in a ball pill-bug style.

And in the middle of all of it, there's this amazing guy who makes me laugh when I don't think I have any laugh left in me.

I don't know if he knows just how special he is.
That his patience and kindness are like a warm blanket that chases the chill away.
That he can make me smile in a sentence.

There's something about him that makes something in me say, "I know I can trust this person."
I don't know if he knows how much it means to me to be able to say that.

With everything that's been going on, I don't know if he knows that those few minutes we get to spend here and there are something that I look forward to, because they always leave me feeling special.

I wonder if he knows that he makes my world a good place to be in, just by being in it.

I wonder if he knows.

...

Huh.

Maybe I should tell him.
