Bliss

For what has been close to a year, I have learnt a lot about myself by simply being with him and learning things about him. Things I never thought I could do, events that I never thought I could get past, emotions I thought I will never feel, history that I never thought I could accept - I did, I got past, I felt and I accepted.

I don't know why but I just feel like blogging on this topic this after seeing Veron's comments on bliss. Cuz cynics may think that whatever I am feeling right now is just something short-term and that bliss will go away sooner or later. To be realistic, no one really knows whether this is happily ever after. But I know it takes a lot of effort and accepting each other's imperfections. Whatever it is, Veron, I hope you can feel this way for a long long time..

I've learnt that it takes a lot to feel bliss. It's not something that comes easily like receiving romantic gestures, hearing sweet words, or being lovey-dovey-mooshy-mushy - these are the feelings of being on a "honeymoon". Don't mistake that for bliss, because bliss is so much more.

I cannot begin to describe blissfulness but I know that to feel blissfully in love, it takes a lot of honesty, love, acceptance, giving more than receiving, sacrifices, patience, compromise, and a common destination. Bliss is a lasting feeling.

Being in this r/s has taught me a lot. I feel like I've matured and really, I have never once imagined myself like this. It's so crazy when I think about us sometimes especially when the surrealness creeps in. Honestly, I have never ever felt so alive.
