Passage of time

Nearly 10 years ago...

C to Me: "You're such a pretty little thing"

Fast forward to nearly 10 years later....Present day.

Me to C: "You know next year it'll we'd have been dating for 10 years"
C: Crap! You mean we're so old already?


Nearly 10 years ago....

Me to C: "Someday I'd like my own apartment, plenty space for dogs...maybe you and me."

Fast forward to nearly 10 years later...Present day.

Me to C (whilst staring at all the giant bungalows): "Holy cow. How the heck can anyone afford to buy such large houses???!!"

So yes, reality of life sinks in. Budding love is...oh so sweet, so budding, like the joy of morning dew. Give it a couple of years, and mature love is simply just....mature. Real life, practical conversations, efficient dates. No illusions. Just plenty of hard work. (ok ok so there are a couple of Tod's and H acquisitions along the way, but that's not the point here).

Moral of story? Err...dunno. Watch more K-dramas for the perfectly unrealistic love story I guess.
