just as I am...

A much younger coworker was talking about the intricate dance we like to call "dating". He thought the date had gone well, but after two unreturned phone calls he seemed perplexed and disappointed. He was wondering if he had called a bit too early after the first date. "Just be yourself and call whenever you feel is right", I said. "Do what feel natural to you and you'll find the one who is right for you..."

Some time ago, I had decided I was no longer going to play the game anymore. I was going to just be myself: no false pretenses. I realized if I pretend to be someone who I am not, I will end up with someone who won't appreciate me for who I am. No matter how quirky, melancholy, silly, and eccentric I may be, I believe, with all my heart, there is someone out there who will love me just the way I am.
