DATE NIGHT

I wouldn’t consider myself a lover boy because I can be very strict with expenses especially when they keep piling up. But at a point I know that those around me deserve a treat once in a while. That is why this past Christmas I decided to make that possible. Although it didn’t go as planned, because someone was having mood swings, I decided to make it worth something at least. I think food just has a way of calming some peoples nerves hehe. That day I spent almost all I had on me with no where to get money from. This isn’t something I do often, I would not even advise anyone to do it if they do not have the stomach and heart to bear it. I just know that I wanted to do it for her that day and damn the consequences hehe. Call me stupid, but if I should get the chance to, I would do it all over again because she deserves it.

I mean it’s been a lot for the both of us, she saw me through even the most difficult times. And I believe she deserves the very best even if it will have a short term effect on my finances. This was me when she was talking about going on a date, I was busy calculating the cost and she got hurt as a result. It took a lot to convince her that I was going to make it up to her and I’m happy she understood. That was why when I saw the opportunity, I didn’t think twice, mainly because I had covered most of my serious expenses and what I had left was extra cash to take me through the remainder of the month. I decided to enter this expensive restaurant and by the time I had finished getting everything I wanted to get her, I was way over the money I spent to cook a pot of soup.

I purposely did not tell her because I knew she would not allow me to spend that amount of money on something she would eat once, but I did it anyway just to create memories. I believe there is never a perfect time to do these things, and the money I am hoping to have before I do them might not even come now, so I just need to make do with what I have, keep pushing, keep moving, until I get what I want and be in a better position to do more. I also believe if I can’t do these things now that there isn’t much, the chances of it crossing my mind when I do have will be slim, so I will do it anyway. Life is short, no one knows tomorrow, so let’s create every bit of memory we can create now while we can, else we might just be adding to the list of things we never got to do in our lifetime. I guess sometimes being reckless is good (once in a pink moon though.)
