SUCCESS!!!

Grown-Up Crush
Part II

I didn't necessarily expect to have a Part II to the last post so fast, nor did I expect that it would also be a conclusion, but for all of those that may think this is a story of failure; it's not. Hence the picture.

So, after waiting for what seemed like hours and concluding that those hours were merely minutes, a sign sent from the heavens notified me of my results. My phone rang, or chirped rather; Regardless, it was a notification from Facebook reporting a message from my "Grown-Up Crush." I didn't hesitate to check it because, let's be real; I'm grown. I wanted to know, quick, fast, and in a hurry, if I had made a mistake by choosing to "live life" and "embrace uncertainties" or if I was justified in my quest to indulge. {I promise I won't always be this dramatic. . . just building up some anticipation ;)}

Anywho, It was a success! Are we getting married? No. Are we in a relationship? Definetly not. Will we go out on a date? Probably not, but: He said I was cute! Well, actually he said that "I knew I was attractive" which I think we can all agree that that's the grown up way of saying the same thing. Mission Accomplished.

Why is this a good thing? Well, It worked! I felt something, I put myself out there, and I got what I wanted. Maybe I had low expectations, but the idea that I didn't know what to expect, yet still went for it, sent a charge of energy through my veins that screamed, "You're Alive!"

It was AWESOME!

As Julius Caesar once stated, "I came, I saw, I conquered," and that is just what I plan to do when approached with another situation that makes me think, 'Maybe, I shouldn't'. This situation has motivated me to go on with my journey and take chances on new experiences, no matter how small they may be. When I look back over my life, I want to smile and know that I lived.

Although, I doubt I will be expressing any more crushes any time soon.
