Topic of the Week - Love

Given that is has been snowing everyday for the past two weeks as well as the lovely holiday of Valentines Day, well lovely if your not single, happening recently, It gave me a lot of time to think on me being single. Nowadays, I don't really have that many people to talk to and I sort of gave up on the tinder lifestyle awhile ago so my days really don't have that many social interactions to begin with let alone ones towards people I have a romantic feeling towards. In my past, I had a lot of crushes and they all sort of veered of the cliff in one way or the other. Sometimes I never said my intentions, sometimes they were already taken, sometimes I ended it feeling like it was going nowhere, and when things did go somewhere I found they were taken and I was just sort of their fling, which is fun but its a quick burn nonetheless. However, I did meet someone who I think is or was the one. I met her on my college campus bus in a spur of the moment as If whatever God that was up there was giving me an alley-oop, setting me up with what felt like the one.

I don't think I ever clicked with a person like I did with her. Everything felt amazing as if all of a sudden someone put a set of rose colored glasses over my face and the shitty parts of college life all went away. It lasted for a semester and soon we drifted off given she had exams and I had a life that I wanted to live. All those countless bus interactions stayed with me and yet haunts me to this day as much as it makes me happy. It haunts me since maybe I'll never meet a girl like that but I learned to just appreciate the moment for what it was than have it haunt me for what could of been. So with every Valentines Day as well as this one, I'm reminded of my failings in the love category and my very single life but I'm also reminded to love my self for how far I've come and how far I have still to go and who knows, maybe one day our paths will cross again or maybe I'll meet someone as special as the girl I met that day but that's all for tomorrows worries, not todays.
