Responding to a Friend's Blog Post

My good friend Cecil recently wrote a post on her blog about how things have changed since I started going out with the new guy in my life. I just decided to respond to her post called "House of Singles".

My response:

I know I haven't been able to go out as much as I used to with you. It's a lot harder now with my crazy schedule in the office, my weird sleeping habits and of course him. I am writing this letter maybe to reassure you that I'm still here no matter what.

We've known each other since high school and we've seen each other through a lot. I've seen you through your heartaches and also your major successes. I think the only thing I really missed in your life was your debut.

I don't think you should be afraid that there's a new guy in my life. It doesn't mean that just because he's there, I won't have any time for you anymore. He's open-minded enough to acknowledge that I need to be with my friends (as long as they're girls) without him around. We can still have our girls' night out on Saturdays and go on our shopping sprees on some weekdays. We still even get our Starbucks buzz on some mornings.

Despite my busy schedule, "_" are trying to make this work. I know he's not exactly the guy you had in mind for me, but he is making me happy. I like him because he understands me so well. He knows the way to my heart is not through flowers, but by food. He understands that I prefer to go shopping alone. Plus, he's probably the most thoughtful guy I ever met. Most importatly, he isn't scared of what I've done, who I want to be and what I want to do.

One day I hope you'll understand my decision.:) Besides, no need to panic. It's not as if I'm getting married anytime soon. That's the furthest thing from our mind right now. No matter what happens though, you'l defintely be my friend for life.
