So much hope...and so much fear

Okay.. Pema Chodron teaches to embrace fear and to become friends with it.

Ther's the coolest (and cutest) guy in Cleveland who thinks I'm the cats meow. He's way way smart and quite handsome. He's a research biology major aiming for his Ph.D. by age 23!

Talk about drive!

Who knows what might happen with him. We both think the other is all that but there is still that St. Cloud to Cleveland distance and both of us are hip deep with school.

I think it's a great opportunity to get to know him and see how things go. If they don't, they don't. If they do, they do.

But I have to conquer my fear of relationships first. I'm scared of moving forward with any depth, and I'm scared that I might let one go...

*searches for the inner strength*

Have you guys ever met in person yet?

No. That's the problem, I'm terrified of meeting him in reality.

I'm still licking my wounds from my last three go-arounds at dating that I'm gun-shy now.

I'm torn between wanting to meet him and running like hell to go hide under a rock.
