OMG It's Rob

Food.

ronpalustre:

I love it. I love the fact that it can taste the best when you’re craving it the most. When you’re hungry it gives you the energy you need. When you’re bored you can think of plenty of ways to create something new. There’s an almost infinite amount of variety that comes from all parts of the world.

Best of all I love sharing it. Food for thought, I mean. Soul food. Whatever you want to call it. Nothing, besides music of course, could satisfy me more than having an intellectual conversation with meaning and substance. Sharing knowledge, life lessons, & past experiences. Different perspectives mean different flavors of thought. Open-minded pallets are preferred, but not always necessary. Honesty and genuineness are the best temperatures to cook up a good, hearty conversation.

The world is a buffet of different tastes and experiences. I’ve got mine, and you’ve got yours. Let’s share more often yeah? Im never on a diet, I promise. Feed me. Thanks.

The one that got away.

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with …and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away?

I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a long time partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing.

It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequential become deal breakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work. And it’ll make sense, it really will. The day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come.

Hopefully you’re single… but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, “What if they were here today?” You’ll wonder, “What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?”

That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest “What if?” you’ll have in your life.

If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that if you’re already with the one you’re with, that this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright. It’s never nice to live with a “might have been,” but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who’s already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different. What do you do if it’s not yet too late? Simple… find him, find her. Because the very existence of a “one that got away” means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee; ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be “the one that got away” as well for the person who is your “the one that got away.” You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won’t make a difference.

If the timing is finally right, it’ll all just fall into place somehow. And it would be a great feeling, if in the end, you’d be able to say to someone, “Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away.”

I’m hella late on this reblog, but thanks for showing this to me today Micah.

Girls are like waves.

Plain and simple. Girls are like waves.

Guys are all surfers in the ocean of love. Guys go out, packin 6, 8, some even 10 or 12. Some guys go looking for big ones, the ones with the big pipes that they can get into. Other guys just like enjoying their company and cruise. Some guys go after every single wave they see. Others wait for the right ones. Sometimes they wait for the waves, sometimes they ride one, and catch the next one going by.

Girls? They’re the waves the guys go after. Waves, like girls, come in all different sizes. Some are big, some are small. Some are tall, some are short. Waves, again like girls, behave differently. Some like to swallow you up, and some spit you out.

Trying to surf the right wave is like trying to find the right girl. You see one from afar, and the closer and closer you get to it the more you start to notice if it’s the right one for you. Sometimes you take a chance and it’s not all you expected it to be. Other times they’ll look good, and when you go for em, you find out they’re not all that great. Sometimes more than one guy can go for a wave. Other times no one will.

There are the ones that get away. First you paddle and go hard for it, but you can never catch it. Someone else gets that wave, leaving you to only watch and wonder.

Then there are the perfect ones. The ones you stay with for a long time. Everything at that point is good. You’re cruising, just enjoying every part of it like nothing in the world matters but you and that wave.

And then you see it fall apart. It just stops. You don’t really know what happens. It just falls apart. Eventually we just abandon ship.

After that, some guys leave for a bit. Don’t want anything to do with waves, especially if they go down hard. Some just decide to brush it off and go back out looking.

Plain, simple. Girls are like waves.

… But one day or another, instead of finding perfect waves, you get that one single wave. The one that you remember & cherish forever because it’s the one that brings you to land with them. [ Just to add onto it (: ]

I think i’m one of those ppl waiting for that one single wave. That one, perfect wave. yes i’m still waiting..

-Change-

The extremity of the change you’ve undergone never ceases to amaze me; It reminds me to stay mindful of the fact that change is the only universal constant. Sadness. :(
