What is it about having someone in the back of your mind that inspries you? all of a sudden you feel capable of just about anything. You have an overabundance of energy, a skip in your step, and a glassy smile like a new moon.
Last night, a lot of old familiar faces crossed my path. All of them had very endearing and comforting words. Old flames, lost loves and one only friend from grade school, Dimples. I'm glad i got to see her since it was her last day before going home to san francisco. THe last time i saw her was in grade 6, i think that was in 1987 and now she's getting married. Its when you see people you cared for after over 10 years - and they still give your heartfelt hugs - that you realize your efforts did not go to waste and friendship transcends time.
Even an old ex boyfriend who makes it a point to see you when he's in town and reminds you of how uniquely special you are, regardless of your failed efforts in a romantic relationship is a welcome respite from insecurities and provides the solace of reassurance.
Then you realize once more that there is someone who is the source of your happiness and life satisfaction. That someone varies with each of us - between your best friends, your present significant other, your soulmate...and sometimes its just yourself.
From a conversation I had last night:
me: thanks for being so sweet
friend: you make it easy to be sweet to you
...and it is everyone's affection, pure and free of any alterior motives, that makes me want to return it...over and over...time and time again. |
