The One
So I was talking to a dear friend last night, Aubrey, about a situation dealing with the people of female persuasion. I was worrying heavily about messing up what I would be saying to a girl I was talking to online. I did not want to mess up anything. I did not want to be something dumb or too goofy or too sarcastic, etc. I was checking everything I was going to say with Aubrey before I would email the girl I was talking to. I made a comment (which was slightly sarcastic) to Aubrey that I wished she could just write out the perfect phrases and words to make me appear like this perfect guy with witty and pithy things to say. All of a sudden she said to me.. "I don't write your story... God does...and He is so much better of a writer than even I am. because He knows you even better than I do. and I know (believe me, I know) that it sucks because you want the One so badly, but for some reason they're just never there...but you have, HAVE, to depend on the fact that Gods writing your love story, and that when He brings that someone along, they're going to be perfect, and you'll be perfect for them. The hard part is the waiting. That's the part that sucks, and that we suck at." After she said those words it took me a second to respond and when it did I said something like... "If a girl is "the one" then I have nothing to worry about. I can not screw this up. I can not say something too goofy or too dumb to mess up losing 'the one'." This realization was so freeing to me. I do understand that I can mess up a good thing by saying something really asinine, but there should be a comfort to me to know that if I act like the real me, and the girl is "the one" then I have nothing to worry about. Just a thought.
