I’m not one that typically journals, I will maybe once or twice a year. A little while after Jonathan and I started dating I wrote a little in my journal and this is just a little blurb of something I wrote. It’s basically about love and relationships in general.
“I think falling in love isn’t some grand experience. Maybe it’s as simple as being breathless in someone’s prescence. Once you get passed the whole ‘dating’ time and you get to the true heart of the person, that’s when there’s nothing left but to stand back and let yourself be completely blown away. I think you fall in love with the llittle things. Forget the big, well-planned evenings, granted they are great but it’s eating at McDonald’s with ketchup on your face, while looking across the table and just thinking to yourself that you’ve never had a more romantic dinner. And, no matter how much you know it will hurt if you ever lose this person in your life, you still take the risk because experiencing this feeling is completely worth it. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with people these days, we’re too chicken to take risks, too proud to be vulnerable to someone else, too analytical to just be breathless…”
Thanks for helping me learn to be vulnerable again.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
…and you think you can’t express yourself on paper?! You just needed someone to pull it out of you. Thanks, Jonathan!
I love you, too!
See…writing does run in the family! I never knew you had it in you! I’m very impressed. Maybe I’ll get one of these one day when my kids are a little older. On second thought, I might get myself in trouble if I do. That happens when I talk too much…
