Hi all. First off, yeah, what Drake said below in his post. I shall not be repetitive, so, we shall let his post introduce the whole gist of this place.

Maybe I should reminisce some.

It's been almost five months--four more days to five months, in fact--since we decided to try things out. And even now, if you ask us why we got together, I can assure you none of us knows the reason/s, nor will be able to give you anything more solid than these two lines:

Two strangers staring, yet each seemed familiar
Common grounds formed from pain and fear.

It doesn't really matter who we think we are, or who we think we're not. But when it comes right down to it, we're both way too similar, despite not having known each other well past nine months, maybe?

He and I come not from two different worlds, but from two different viewpoints on life. Where he is a Muslim, I'm an eclectic shamanic pagan; where he's more sociable, I prefer a lot of reclusiveness, and defend my territory very fiercely; where he's this, I'm that. You get the gist.

It's not really a case of opposites attract, I don't think. Maybe, after all this time, it's more a case of two familiar strangers treading down one single road they've both been walking on alone before.

Things haven't been easy, and without fear, without compromise. Being together, we're not in our own world. We're both too disillusioned to even hope for that. We know that in being together, we're bringing two families, two sets of friends, two beliefs together.

Two forked roads merging into one.

It's still not going to be easy. We know each other relatively well already, but we still have to learn about each other.

Respect, trust, learning.
