Brett and I just had a talk about our relationship. These talks happen a lot. To me that is a good thing. We are continuing to get to know each other. I threw out there that I feel like we don't talk a lot. About social commentary on friends, pop culture, ourselves, life. I just want us to communicate more. I also said that we should do something fun once a week during the week just between the two of us. Going skating, bowling, shopping, movies, something to get us alone and doing stuff. I also want to know what's going on in his head. Brett is a very intro perspective person. I want him to be more vocal about his thoughts. I want in his head! lol He wants me to be more supportive of him while he is piecing his life back together. He went a couple of years without human contact almost. So now being pushed back into the real world. He has a list of things he wants to get done and I want to help him with that. We also hit on pot smoking and transitioning out of being single to being truly in a relationship. It's a state of mind, I feel like, that slow creeps into your brian. To be honest, my thought is not always Brett, but he's there. But we are getting to the point where that is the case. So lessons learned today: Support each other. He wants to be more fit, get his life together. I want to be more fit and focus my energy on being healthy. Communication: Just because we silence does not mean it's awkward silence. He's not use to the talking or being talked at all the time. Something to work on for both of us. Well here we are ole' thing. I'm back. I'm 24, the rules of life are different. But we will explore them together just like we have for the past 7 years. :)
