First, a background:

After being unbelievably shaken up by my breakup with Nosberto, potentially my first real love, and someone who I'd given thought to having a future with, I've finally dug myself out of the deepest hole of pain I'd ever found myself in to see the light of day again. With all of the work I did to shed the staggering thoughts of him that crept into my mind at lonely and inopportune times, I've found my usual self again. That was certainly the hardest breakup I think I've ever dealt with. Though now it's hard to judge, because when you've recovered, you almost forget how much it hurt. Here's to hoping I'm never reminded.

Now, for the question of the day: Has it happened?

After a brief period of telling myself I never wanted to be with anyone else, here I am now wondering if I've found "him." Andres Mejia Zelada. I've never had an instance of such strong and almost instantaneous affection. Having only ever been with him in person twice in my life, I find myself falling in love. Now, I won't even begin to claim that I don't fall for people easily, but this feels different. He's different. Though I admit to not yet knowing him well, so far he embodies most everything I've found myself looking for in someone.
