Being a couple doesn’t make things better or easier, but it sure helps.

March 9, 2023

It’s been a while. I’ve let other pursuits take priority over writing. Not sure if that’s a good thing. Perhaps at times. It’s never good to hyper focus on one thing.

I was pondering on a topic, and I started to run through all the things my Inner Coco said to me, screamed at me, over the last five and half months with David. Probably each of these thoughts cover a day or so, a week or so, or they run together in just a matter of hours. Thoughts and feelings and learnings are never sequential; they’re inconsecutive, intermittent, iterative. A bit of a jumbled mess, actually, but I see clear progress just the same. It’s so interesting to see how a relationship evolves.

Here goes:

This guy is interesting. And smart. And really nice. Very kind. I like him.

He’s funny. He’s got a smart assed comeback for everything. I’m not sure if it’s to entertain me or throw me off track. Oh well, I’m sticking with this, let’s see where it goes.

Oh wow, I think he likes me, too. Weird.

Do I really like him? I don’t know. He’s smart, but resists being serious. Always with the flippant retorts. They make me laugh, though. For sure.
