It’s been a long time since I’ve genuinely been at risk of liking someone but there’s something special about our conversations that I can’t ignore. I owe it to myself to explore this further to see if it’s real and worth pursuing. Talking with Nate has just felt so comfortable and warm. My best friend once said to me that sometimes the greatest connections start with inexplicable familiarity rather than the textbook butterflies you often associate with new romance. Even if it doesn’t work out, I’d still be grateful to have had these moving conversations with a total stranger. I’d file these memories amongst other inspirational moments within the libraries of my mind and happily look back at this small period of my life. Sometimes there are coincidences that can’t be explained, like the fact that I started speaking to him on 18 July which is a very significant date for me. Perhaps this is just me assigning meaning to nothing at all but for now I’ll take it as a sign from the universe that I was destined to cross paths with this incredible human.
