I have now come to believe there's no right age to meet someone, there's no cut-off that defines when we can stop making connections. You could be counting your last breath and just the patient next door could turn out to be someone you wish you had life left to know more. Or you could be a tiny baby holding the finger of some adult-size human and instantly feel you're safe. Connections are a push from the Universe that lead you towards the right path.
I think it's a well-known fact among my friends and followers that I'm a huge fan of the Before Trilogy, I consider the three movies as my guide to all things love. The first part is about building an instant connection and I try to look for that chance in every person that crosses paths with me. And something like that did happen on the 23rd February, 2021 when just out of the blue this guy walked into the bar and walked into my life.
You see this is not a love story. It's about 2 contrasting people meeting, instantly connecting and then working towards building an unique bond that, at least I pray (read: manifest), lasts for years and years. He is a charming, good-looking, big-hearted, empathetic, flirtatious, filmy and a funny boy. And no matter the age difference, the best part is that he actually really gets me! I think I'm more than grateful for his company and I'm not saying just because I'm writing this piece, he does what I believe most guys have forgotten to do; he really LISTENS. He doesn't belittle my thoughts, he encourages me to love myself, he makes me feel appreciated and the love he gives me just feels straight from the heart, genuine and pure.
Considering he's a Gen-Z I think I should put it in his words - Issa Vibe! (Lol, I cringed hard while writing this!)
This pandemic has been a depressing phase for all of us and I'm trying to live life one day at a time. In the midst of this finding a friendship or a bond or a connection like this one I really consider myself lucky. I know the Universe has taken care of me each time I hit rock bottom and this time bringing him in my life the Universe has really earned some brownie points! Good job 🥂👏
Ending this with another favourite quote from the Trilogy because if this isn't what life is all about, then what is?
