Dear * Insert Favourite column name here* – The Settle Down Selections

Daily writing prompt
List the people you admire and look to for advice…

I am a 34 y old female (In this day and age I should say cis heterosexual female). I normally love listening  podcasts, reading and swimming but I met a man and he seems to take up all my time. I think of him often and I hate people that randomly sing but I’ve found my self listening to hours of music and sending him songs I think he may like. 

Dear *favourite column* when he start to sing I join in (something I usually find very annoying) and the other day I was horrified that I not only recorded but proceeded to send him a voice note of me singing TO HIM! 😩

Please help. I’m not sure what’s happened to me. I’ve even started apologizing when I’m wrong, I’m never wrong but something about him makes me reconsider. 

Could this be what they call love?

With love from hater of musicals and all things too cute and mushy 

My grandparents

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

My grandparents relationships had a positive influence on me. I assumed it was a given that everyone would end up with their person sitting in the living room, talking and watching tv with their grandkids.

But once you grow up you realize it’s actually rare for couples to make it, to grow old together and even if they do then one passes away and leaves the other behind.

I know it’s easy to romanticize our grandparents relationships in the age of online, unlimited and international dating but they seemed to have marriage figured out a little more that us.

New Year = Change

Yes I’m blessed but sometimes it feels like there is a maximum capacity of blessings that a person can have.

It feels like anytime you take a breathe something has to f up.

I guess we could just take is you are now ready for the next level?

If life is a game, then it would be crazy to stay in the same level forever right? So maybe in life when you have mastered one level you have to move on to the next.

But that is scary and it implies that you have to play forever? 

Why don’t we get to just stay at one level? 

But if we did then we would not be at this level that we want to stay at.

Change is always good it is what allowed you to be in the situation that you are in right now.
