You know that feeling after finishing a book, that feeling of contentment? Maybe it stems from the idea that you have absorbed it all, or from the smug validation that all that knowledge is now firmly planted in your brain, or maybe just a sense of accomplishment. Whatever. I just know that it feels like a chapter just ended, for good. And I am happy, no shit attached.

What's been bothering me lately is, I am almost 24 years old and I have never been in a serious relationship. Now what does that say about me?

I once promised myself that I will never be taken for granted ever again. Now I vow not to gamble my own peace of mind when other people try to get off by stealing my sunshine. I'll still be nice to people and will always be Mr. Brightside but this time there will be no more tolerance to abuse. Defensive attacks become offensive attacks now. When war is waged, a battle must be fought--that's the plan.

My Psychology major friends would be glad to know that I look at myself in the mirror and I like what I see. There is a handsome, intelligent, mature young man smiling back at me. He knows what's going on, he can assume control when available but acquiesce when necessary. He likes himself and won't change to please other people. He's still as open-minded as before, maybe even more. And most importantly, he's not afraid of risks, of change.

I'm 25 and my relationships are wreck. But yeah, be Mr. Brightside always, don't lose Mr. Brightside in you.

well, you've had relationships, at the very least. and from the looks of things (i.e. after checking out your blog) your current one isn't so much of a wreck ;)
