Cynicism is powerful. I used to commiserate with this song to the point of crying while singing it. I felt like I was looking everywhere for the right person, but all the while I honestly believed that I would never find someone with anything that resembled a heart of gold. I figured I would end up settling for someone, someway, somehow. No good people in the world was just a fact to be accepted.

I find myself with a new perspective these days. I can finally look around and see beauty in so many and so much. I never had faith that the wholly good-natured type of people, like the one I found, existed. 

There are no ulterior motives. No secrets. No lies. There’s compatibility, trust, openness, and acceptance— no matter how bizarre or socially unacceptable. There’s the striving for making each other’s day a little better…the only serf-serving benefit being the happiness you caused. I still can’t believe that someone actually thinks about me throughout the day in the same excessive manner as I think about him. The eagerness to hear the next word or receive the next email or text message has you at the edge of your seat all day. 

I know this is new and all, but I really feel this is the most genuine experience of my life. I can’t wait to see where I end up.
