First Impression

I was never a believer of first impressions, I need at least three or more encounters with same person to be able to grasp a sense of what he or she will be like. The same rule applies when you get to know me. I never open up to anybody at once, but I do talk. I talk a lot, I talk fast and I talk incoherently. You have to earn my respect before I treat you the same way.

However, instances happen and things change. I talk sensibly and people earn my respect. Some few have been lucky enough to be able to witness side of me I never allow people to see. I entrust things I faithfully believe in and seal everything in the depths of their souls. Only to find out that the person you knew seventy-eight hours earlier wasn't the same person now. Funny how you think that you know everything about the person, when just hours of being together will make you realize how a pretense could ruin a relationship.

I'm not the person who easily gives up on things, specially bonds that mold me into who I am today. But I couldn't do it alone, it has to be mutual. I can do everything on my part to make things work but if the other party don't respond, there's nothing left for me to do.
