I happen to like a girl. Instead of me getting all fluttery and nervous as I had with every girl before, I feel happy and confident that I can get her.
And you know what? After doing a bit of reading, and understanding just what I know, it's working. I mean, obviously there was a slight attraction originally, but I think I'm actually managing to make things work this time. She's getting back to University on Friday, and we're going to see each other on Saturday. She asked me when I was getting back. To other people, not a big deal, but to me, HUGE shift. Now, she's asking me for help on a paper. Again, something small, but it shows she has at least a small bit of trust in me, especially to come to ask for help.
I'm not going to be cocky and say it's in the bag, because I don't know what is going to happen in the future. I do know that she has the sweetest smile and a mirthful laugh, and that we get along well with each other, and I've made her laugh before, and she's made me laugh. I don't know what you really need for a strong relationship, seeing as I've never been in one, but something tells me that's part of it.
Also, I've noticed I can flow the heat around in my body. There's this wonderful warmth that is in my abdomen, and I can push it up to my chest, but it remains in the abdomen while at rest. It is a wonderful feeling, and I believe it may be my qi. Considering I really noticed it after I read the Dao De Zhing for the first time and it connected with my knowledge, particularly my scientific knowledge, I think it just may be my qi.
TL;DR I found someone to be with, I became Daoist seeing as it's compatible with quantum physics, and I found my qi.
