Have we met?

Over and over, I find the title of this blog, extremely apt. Life hits you at 100 miles an hour, time and again and here I am. Stumped. This has never happened to me. I think there are bleak chances that it'd ever happen again. You think you've known someone for more than a decade, and given that time, you've probably come to learn quite a bit and have settled in to form a certain view of them, their personality, you've defined the give-some, take-some of the relationship. And then, right under your feet, everything changes. The person, your view of the person, you, your perspectives, the relationship.

There's this certain fun-shakiness in how unsettling the feeling is, there're spurts of exhilaration of this new discovery mixed with moments that make you "huh"? Needless to say, nothing is the same, ever again. It's this new thing, a new phase and it all feels fresh. You discover new sides to your own self because as humans, we never exist in isolation. If you find that you are smiling more, it's probably got little to do with yourself. Everything about you is feeding off of something new, something different and something that has changed. I think its futile to classify change as a positive or negative one. It's meant to be taken at face value. It's change. It has happened and every action in your life will now be taken given the altered artifact.

I am pleasantly taken by this alteration and I believe that there are aspects to me that I will discover,  new things that I will learn, all of which will blow my mind away, just like I was, merely some time ago.
