The Magical Five - Revisited

***Warning: this is a bit lovey-dovey and may make you puke a little in your mouth. You've been warned.***


About 3 years ago I wrote a little blog on myspace that I soon forgot about. I was going through my old blogs on myspace a few days ago and discovered that I had written this:

The Magical Five
Current mood: relaxed

Clicks. Butterflies. Laughter. Comfort. Trust.

My ideal relationship will have these 5 things.

After I read it, I smiled. Because 3 years later, I have found my "ideal relationship". Don't get me wrong, it is by no means perfect, but it has all 5 of these things.

Clicks: From almost the moment we met, there was an instant connection. It didn't take long for us to become inseparable. There is no way to describe it other than, well, we clicked (see also, chemistry).

Butterflies: Of course butterflies don't come as easily as they did in the beginning of the relationship, but, believe it or not, he still gives them to me. Every once in a while, when I least expect it, the butterflies start fluttering. And they are better than the first butterflies.

Laughter: We laugh a lot. At ourselves, at each other, at other people, it doesn't matter. We laugh. The inner child in both of us comes out a lot. And it's so much fun.

Comfort: It's hard to still get butterflies with someone and also feel comfortable. But when it happens, it's great! Plus, we've lived together for almost a year now and well, if you're not comfortable, it's not going to be pretty. Sometimes one of us gets TOO comfortable but I won't get into that.

Trust: Well, without trust, there is nothing. I remind myself almost daily, how lucky and fortunate I am. It's not easy. To put so much love and faith and yourself into one person. It's a huge risk but a risk with so many rewards when it's right.

So there you go. When I wrote about my magical 5, it seemed so unattainable. Almost like I was asking for too much. But it happened so effortlessly, without warning, and really, when I wasn't even looking!

And how funny is it that I've been so busy enjoying the magic that I didn't even realize until now that I had reached what I thought was unattainable.
