Sometimes it hurts to breathe...

"Breath"
Inhale
It begins at birth
Ends at death
I love my life
In and out
I hate my life
Up and down
To live and let live
Sunrise
Sunset
It is all the same
Until one day
It is no more
Exhale

Most days I can get through the day and not think of you. I don't rehash the moments and wonder what could have been. Your genuine smile, ability to make me frustrated and elated at once, quiet confidence, and knack for knowing how to push me towards my best even when I couldn't see it.

Most days I don't think about any of these things until the lights go out, the world goes silent, and I am only left with my rambling mind. The mind that always brings me back to you. And then I have to remember to keep breathing.

To no one except to you I say, Until Next Time,

If there is someone who you can't stop thinking about and they make your day brighter, let them know now. Not tomorrow, not when the timing is better, and not when you're drunk. Let them know how you feel now. They will thank you and you will breathe easier afterwards.

Romancing the Heart

In the spirit of the celebration of love I thought I would pay homage to my favorite guilty pleasure chick-flick movie - When Harry Met Sally...

Not only are the characters imperfect, but it is about a real partnership that develops between two people. 

Most movies that aim for the female demographic create a world-wind romance that is simply unrealistic or too good to be true (The Notebook anyone?), but this movie gets it right. These characters go from random strangers to best friends in a natural setting. No rustic vineyards, beach romps, or passionate kisses in the rain.

Though there is a marvelous scene in a diner. You might have heard about it. Though, while everyone talks about a certain experience Sally fakes I personally love witnessing the easy banter between the two. Even if they can't see it yet there is a natural build-up of trust that will climax (sorry, it was too easy not to make a remark) into a deeper bond.

 

Our current world is all about instant gratification and love has unfortunately fallen victim to this monster. So, whenever I get in a slump about my love life it is so refreshing to pop this movie in, wrap myself in a cozy blanket with a warm cup of tea, and consider a real possibility that might be waiting around the corner.

I just kinda hope it doesn't take another 12 years....
Until next time,

Have you ever wondered...

why the heart is never mentioned in the muscle section of an anatomy book? Yes, the function of the heart is strictly circulatory, but is it not also a muscle? A muscle that pumps life through our veins?

I must look into this more. It must have a meaning. Afterall, the heart is a very powerful organ. People fight battles to obtain someone's heart and another organ, the brain, likes disagreeing with the heart to make life difficult. However, that is just describing the heart in an "emotional" way, not a "physiological" one.

Hmm, once again I might just be overanalyzing the situation.
