Back when..

Wendy's

By Emanuel Wilson Published 5 years ago 3 min read

Call this an introduction if you want but its not, this is a recollection of the past, ancient history if you will, from a young mans perspective going through some motions, stick around I promise it gets better🤙🏾. So lets ride this rollercoaster, its a long ride as the track continues to be built, lets see where we end up. I must say, the first couple of entries are almost a decade old and are not edited from their original drafts. I was young, made mistakes, hopefully reading this it helps someone realize their own sooner than had. These are real stories of Love, Friendships, Heartache, Sorrow, Joy, and everything else in-between. Hope you enjoy.

Something I've been meaning to do for almost 2 years now, a friend of mine inspired me to write a blog, honestly I could read their blog every day, and I slightly have sort of, is that creepy? I guess it can be (it's totally creepy right? Haha) anywho this, this shall be my start. Where to begin, I'm not going to start at the beginning(too far back) so how about I start at one of my favorite moments, then along the blogs I'll see-saw through the rest yeah? I'll try not to cry during this haha, crap I'm already tearing up. This was some time ago so I may not exactly remember it all at once so I'll have to do fillers later on or something, but ok so here we go. I was 13, and she was 16, She came in through the same 'portal' I've always taken for granted until that day, I watched her float across the tile towards her destination, angelic like, if I never believed in love at first site, it all changed at that instant. That's how I replay that scenario whenever I think of it haha. She was a friend of a friend's from a while ago, we were introduced, she literally had me at 'hi'. So anyway that was the first and last time I saw her for about a month or so. Funny because I was under the impression that she was taken sort of but that's a different story for a different day haha. But yes I was hooked on someone I swear I didn't have a chance with.

So that month or so went by right, and I finally see her again, literally I felt like there were butterflies in my stomach, and that was not a feeling I've ever gotten seeing anyone, I'm nervous, and I don't want her to think I'm some weirdo creep. I saw her almost everyday after that (my friend showed her to our 'clubhouse' at school) took me a little while to gather courage to really talk to her, (she's gorgeous and confident while I'm not the best looking toy in the store, and shy haha) but we talk and it was nice. I ended up liking her even more. To the point where I intentionally transferred into a physical science class just because she was in it, I knew I'd probably fail it but I wasn't in it to pass haha. Anywho again I began to expand my emotions towards her, my friends saw it, and encouraged it, so I made up my mind that I had to ask her out, I wasn't going to let that chance slip by, so like 2 weeks later I ask her out, and you know what? She said yes! To me! You're average Joe, (actually below average Joe) lol. So yeah I guess I'll cut off here cause that's the end of that first sighting. All in all this is my intro to you readers and I guess if I'd be to give this a meaning it'd be to just go for it! You can make it happen.

Until the next one, Later.
