I have also been feeling a fair amount of contentment about a few things. First off my contentment on staying in Abby after my brief bought of Saskatoon fever. After that didn't work out the way I wanted it to I soon discovered that there are things here in Abby still that I was meant for. Kind of overlapping the moving to Saskatoon plan and certainly after, I started to meet some new friends and build on some withstanding relationships. From the people and oppertunities here in Abbotsford I have sensed that I am meant to stay here...there is purpose here for me still. I am completely content with the prospect of next years school and living here.

The second thing that has yeilded me a fair amount of contentment has been the whole me and a girl relationship deal. This year has brought me to a realization (one that more or less had to be beaten into me time and time again) that I can not settle for someone who I plan on loving and spending the rest of my life with.

I am starting to know me more and more as time progresses and I've realized a few things. I am who I am, and some of that will change. I desire someone who knows me and still loves me. Someone who knows me but is convinced that there is so much more. I don't want someone who thinks that they have figured me out and that her current understanding is all there is to me. I need someone who looks at my soul and sees great things and whats to be a part of it all. I want someone who has a certain amount of understanding of who I am but realizes that there is and always will be so much more to learn and love. I know I'm not perfect, but I am well aware of my strengths as well as my weaknesses. If the favour is returned, I will be a great soulmate for someone, a great lover, a great friend.

I also don't want to "settle" for someone. And I'm not saying that out of arrogance or ignorance, what I mean is I don't want to settle for someone who I don't think fits me. I will live my life as a single man or someone who has found a girl who's mind, heart, and soul that unlike water and oil, stay together seemingly as one substance after a lifetime of shaking!
