Also - off-topic, but I remember first hearing the word ‘malleable’ in a science class in like, fifth grade or something. Whereas I obviously know what the word means, being the word-nerd that I am, I’ll always recall the initial definition that I heard that fateful day in science class:

“Malleable”: able to be hammered or formed into long, thin strips of metal.

We were discussing conductors, semi-conductors and non-conductors.

Which are you?

I think you’re a conductor.

I feel the same way. Although I am only 20 I feel like everyday I get a little bit stronger and more resilient. For each hardship I face there is also a hardening inside of me that I feel. I do worry, quite extensively, that the hardness will inhibit me from letting myself open up to a potential lover later on. I suppose that is okay for right now because I don’t think it is healthy for me to date at this period of my life.

I did have a question for you though. I have always been the “relationship” type. I haven’t been single for over a month since I was 15 until now (been single since Jan. 11th now). I feel like this has left a void inside me where I believe a man should be. I don’t want a relationship for a long time but how did you overcome the loneliness feeling related to becoming single after a long period of time of being with someone?

Also, have you always been so selective in meeting people? I think this is an amazing quality and I would like to see more of it in myself.

Feel free to email me if you have time.=) Have a wonderful day
