That's the line from a new favorite song that is on repeat in my head. It keeps me calm. It reminds me that I am working toward something.
A couple of weeks ago, I met a guy. Someone I like. Finally.
Last night, he told me that he's dating other women as well. Wanted to know how I felt about that.
When I said that I felt fine, I meant it. I did. But in the light of day, as that chorus circles through my head, I'm not so sure.
I want to live a simple life, and knowing my over-analyzing self as well as I do, this could become complicated.
It probably won't be made better by the fact that he has this blog address and may be reading my confession right now. I made the mistake once, though, of not writing about my dating life, and if I'm going to be more honest with myself about this, I figure being honest with everyone else too is a first step on the road to simplicity.

Here. Here! Bold and honest.
simple is good. i vote for simple every time. life is complicated enough without us mucking it up even more. on the other hand, predicting problems that might not occur might not be a good idea either. but on the other hand, instincts and first impressions are often correct and should probably be trusted. it's all very intriguing, this being alive thing.
lh -- you have a way with words.
"Simple Life" could be achieved by just being in the moment. Your life is so full of movement and color - you're right to want to be able to enjoy the little things. Inspiring post.
But the question remains - are you okay with it?
Even better question is - is she okay with it?
All good points, ladies. I'm trying not to overanalyze, and it's going well today. Can't guarantee tomorrow or the next day, though.
