The Serenity of Being in A Relationship

I know that blogging about being in a relationship looks as though I have nothing else going on in my life aside from it. But in my defense, let me just say that I only blog about the big leagues. So I relatively, I can proudly say that at this point in my life this relationship is the best thing that I have. The main reason why I can't juggle one too many things in my life is because I've been gladly spending quality time with someone. I usually can't show up on night-outs and dinners with friends because I am too busy curling up bed and watching my favorite TV series with him. You can take it against me, and I wouldn't care a bit. Some people question how we've been spending too much time together, and all my stubborn head tells me is that you can never get enough of a good thing.

I am feeling blessed to be doing the routines of being in a relationship. You know those things that usually seem like household chores only you do it out of love, and not just because you are asked to? Those are the exact same things that single people miss when they're out there in the playing field. And every day that I am given that chance to do my "girlfriend duties" implies that I have yet another day to spend with the person who means a lot to me. I cherish the intimacy that goes along with a relationship. It's like having someone around when there's an act you want to catch and a movie you want to see without having to convince your friends why you want to see that. It's having that person who knows your schedule and knows how to squeeze themselves into it. Always having someone who is more than willing to share your grief and gives you that comforting hug when you need it the most. There's the comfort in having someone whom I can hold for however long I wish to where no one feels awkward, and you feel that there's nothing better to do than hold him and you end up forgetting why you needed that hug in the first place. I love being deliriously happy about the thought of seeing him during office hours, and how a smile is automatically painted on my face as I see him stand outside that convenience store we marked as our meetup place.

All these and more made me appreciate the serenity of being in a relationship. When although a lot of challenges are brought about by committing, it is much better than having apprehensions of being single. Right now, my mind is conditioned into that state of contentment -- the thought that things can probably get better, but you already know what you have is the best thing there is and anything beyond that is a myth.
