Soul Mate

When I entered the club I wasn’t really looking for anyone. But then I laid eyes on Sherrod, I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. A light seemed to shine only on him. It seemed as if the packed dance floor was all of sudden empty and it was just he and I in the club. My eyes followed him until my friend grabbed my arm to get my attention. When I looked up Sherrod was gone. When my friend and I made our way to the second floor of the club, there he was standing right in front of me.

He stood about six feet even. I could see that he was medium built and very attractive. When he turned around I wanted to melt. He had the most sexiest mesmerizing brown bedroom eyes. His strong cheekbones went with his oval shaped face. I could tell not only was his hair cut low underneath his cap but it was freshly cut. His jeans were loosely fit, and his jacket covered the polo shirt that he was wearing. On his feet he had on a new pair of Timberland boots.

He took me off guard with the move he made. He extended his hand out to me and introduced himself. “Hi my name is Sherrod.” His voice wasn’t that deep but it was manly yet it made me feel protected.

“Hi I’m Ananda, nice to meet you.” As we shook hands I didn’t want to let his hand go. His hands were soft with no calluses yet they were manly. He also had clean nails. This was the first guy that I ever met in a club that wasn’t rude and wasn’t making sexual advances towards me.

“I saw you when you walked in and I’m glad that we were able to talk.”

“Thanks.” I said as I was blushing.

“Excuse me for a second.” As he headed to the bar I noticed that he walked like a basketball player. He had a little bop to his walk yet at the same time it was laid back. He returned with pen and paper. He wrote down his number and I wrote down mine.
“I hope that you call me, I would love to get to know you a little better.” After he said that I knew for a fact that I was in love.

At the end of the night as my friend and I were leaving the club some guy came up to me and tried to talk to me. Before I could even say anything, Sherrod came from somewhere and told the guy that I wasn’t interested. He then put money in my hand, walked my friend and I outside flagged a cab for us. That’s when I knew I had just met my soul mate.

In(Out)side

Is it true that when you look from the outside in, things look better or do they look better when you're on the inside looking out? Maybe they are the same. As I look from the inside out, I see cold and bitterness. I see the lonely trying to find fulfillment. I see the lost hoping to be found. I see a happiness outside that isn't being felt on the inside. Now I take a moment to look from the outside in, I sense cold and bitterness. I see the fulfilled trying to avoid the loneliness. I see the found hoping never to get lost. I see a happiness inside that wants to be felt on the outside. It's true yet strange to some but at the same time it is strange yet true to others.

When you look at things from the inside you really don't see much of what is going on around you. You are unaware of your surroundings. Something could be blooming for you and you don't know it because you don't see it. If you take the time to look from the outside in, you see things that you never thought were there but were always there. That one opportunity becomes a million opportunities. You also actually become aware of what your needs and wants are. You may think that you know what your wants and needs are but take the time out and look at your life from the outside in and you WILL and I stressWILL know what our needs and wants are, you'll even know what is exactly is missing in your life. The best thing about looking in from the outside is that you know what your surroundings are and you will know how to use them to your advantage.
