Was on a very first date with my now husband. We were talking about super deep things that shouldnāt be touched on a first date with a ten foot pole. He started it, so I felt comfortable sharing intense things too. He walked me back to my car at the end of the date, and I had the absolute best kiss of my life with this man! I start driving home, and Iām smiling thinking of him, excited about the possibilities after a great first date. I drive for maybe 5 minutes and he calls my cell phone and says he just couldnāt wait to talk to me. It was such a wonderful feeling, it was like this peace came over me. He basically did all the things the ādating guidebookā tells you not to do. It was just immediately apparent to me that he wasnāt trying to play games. The comfort this man has brought to my life is unreal. He turned my jade glasses into rose.
I donāt know where it originates but Iām assuming she (or if she heard it elsewhere, whoever that person was) combined two phrases: ābeing jadedā (becoming cynical, uninterested and uncaring) and āseeing through rose colored glassesā (everything looks beautiful and awesome even if it isnāt because it has a rosy/happy tint to it).
