Isn’t it funny how in an instant things change? They creep up on you out of nowhere and quietly make you very aware that things are different, without even any indication or understanding why. You just know.
It’s a funny gut feeling I think. Maybe an intuition or something that helps us reign it in before we get too deep. And often times, we are already too deep.
And all of a sudden we know it’s different and we are asking ourselves why we let ourselves get to this point again. Why we put the effort in, despite that small nagging feeling that this is just like the other moments, but then there’s that hope that it isn’t. But, it is. It is.
Today I came across a really lovely story I wrote 6 years ago. I was 23 and recanting a perfect, perfect date with a boy that made me nervous and giddy. I had all but forgotten that story until this morning, and then I was reminded of that lovely, straight from the movies, kiss he gave me in the US Bank parking lot, and my heart lept – and it brought a smile to my face, because I know…that’s how it’s supposed to be.
