So Troy & I are very different people. Absolutely anyone who knows us will agree wholeheartedly and will likely go so far as to say we are opposites in many if not most respects. There is truth to the saying that "opposites attract." I've seen it, the movies portray it, and it is romantacized. However, in real life when opposites do come together it is not as easy as the movies make it out to be.
It is truly wonderful to have this type of relationship. But it can be the most frustrating thing at the same time. We fit so well together and clash simultaneously. We open new, brilliant worlds to each other, and concurrently grate on each other's nerves for doing things so differently than we would do. It is beautiful and strange; exciting and aggravating; exhilarating and tiring all at once.
Today Troy took me shooting at a gun range. Not something I would have ever been into on my own. But you know something? I really like it. (as long as I have really good ear protection - which Troy makes certain of) I love Troy for showing me new worlds, however different, and their individual and particular beauty.
Maybe calling a love for shooting firearms a beautiful new world is a bit goofy to you. I won't apologize for it, though. The small things added up become the summation of what we each call....our life. There is so much more he has opened my eyes to that I will go into in future posts. But today, it's shooting, cuz that's what we did and that's what I'm thankful for at this moment.
