I was spending a couple of days with my cousin, We were childhood best-friends, but we grew apart; not out of lack of fondness, we still adore each other, but time, lifestyle and all. You know what time does, right?!
Anyway, we were talking and talking and memories came back and we kept on saying who changed versus who hasn't and so on. See, I always regarded myself as someone who "changed a lot". I like to think that I become more accepting to others, in control of my emotions and wiser as I grew older. But to my surprise, my cousin said it , without hesitation, "Yasmine, you haven't changed a bit". Boy, did I argue, but she said it simply, everything about you is the same (and she mentioned a couple of good things which I won't repeat out of modesty) then she said "even that thing that always puzzled me about you is still the same. You never see it coming but when it happens, it makes perfect sense, it's so you."And at this point, I stood speechless, she was right. My contradicting personality always made sense in my head. I mean to me, it's so normal to think of item A independently from item B, but I know that some , ehm, I mean most, people complain that it doesn't make sense and that it's "so unlike you".
Well, anyway, we agreed that even my "unpredictable" behavior makes sense in retrospect. She thinks that many times she'd "feel" that something "unpredictable" would happen now but wouldn't know what. She said it shows on my face. Now, to be honest, I'm not sure about things showing on my face, but at least we agree that I'm unpredictably predictable, which I find extra cool to be honest. I like the fact that all you readers, no matter how much I write about myself, will never predict the whole me! I like knowing that you guys will always see me as a puzzle.... but then again, you probably predicted that I would say that, didn't you?!
Well, it's a tricky one :)
Have a wonderful night!
