Feelings

I recently noticed that I do, to a certain extent, have a type of girl that I tend to go for. Two in fact. The first being amber haired girls, but I don't why that's the case (incidentally, I've never actually had a girlfriend with amber hair). The second being musicians.

I don't know why that is either, to be honest, but I do at least have some theories. For one thing, music is a hugely important part of my life. If you know me, or have even met me, you'll know that I am constantly humming, singing or whistling. I also (as you should know by now) have my own band and enjoy writing and performing my own music. It's not Mozart, but I enjoy it.

I think, more than that, I just like creative people. If people can't feel the emotions that music evokes in me, maybe I can't relate to them as well. More still, I like people who can express something beautiful. When I hear a good musician perform a beautiful piece of music, I feel like I am connected to their soul, if just for a second. A brief moment when my soul and theirs sing in unison together.

It doesn't happen all that often though. In fact, I've only ever gone out with one girl that made me feel that way. She has a beautiful soul. I'm so proud to be her friend. It was from hearing her play that I originally wanted to get to know her. From getting to know her, it would certainly seem that I was right. A most wonderful lady.

I felt it again the other day. With someone new.

Excitement and adventure are sure to follow… I live in hope.
