Speaking Too Soon

I should have expected my friends to “panic” upon reading my previous FB status. Within hours after posting it, some of them texted to ask what the context was  and whether it had something to do with this recent enchantment I was telling them about.

I had to be honest so I said yes. And within hours after saying that, some of them called and even asked to meet me in order to “put some sense into my head” and to “bring the sensible girl back.” Haha. I so love my friends for looking after me like that.

It’s not that I’m so into him. I told my friends, “Ito ang tinatawag na it’s just a little crush.” Haha. But my friends, well, they know me too well. They know that if I so much as even consider it, chances are, I will pursue it. And given who I am and who the person is, it’s very likely that I’ll regret it.

I wish I recorded everything they said. While some expressed their concern by advising that I make a full stop, others respected my decision but with a stern warning that I have to be careful because I probably have no idea what I’m getting myself into (again!?). But what really did it for me, what really convinced me to put an end to this, what really brought me back to my usual proper and sensible self.

And that was how it came to pass that in less than 24 hours after posting here that I’m ready to evolve with my desires, I came to my senses and realized that evolving connotes going from a lower level to a higher one. Which isn’t the case with this guy. And even if I know that I shouldn’t make A. the standard or the personification of everything that’s right for me, that doesn’t give me the option to settle for anything or anyone less than what I deserve.
So dear friends, you can all relax now. The sensible girl is back. ;)
