a little twist of fate

i ran into this man today in the park.  it was our 3rd random encounter.  i don't know his name. he doesn't know mine. he speaks broken english. i speak broken spanish. yet, somehow, we manage to communicate perfectly.  he remembers everything i have told him in our previous 2 encounters. i remember that he gave me a valentines poem the last time we ran into each other. the beauty of it all is that this man, a virtual stranger, has given me the clearest insight into a man's mind. through his broken words, he has told me why men do what the do, how they are scared of vulnerability. his words make what i am feeling okay, they validate me. in our brief encounters, he has given me a vast knowledge into another life and shown me what i believe is a beautiful soul.  i told him it was fate that we kept meeting like this. he told me he had a feeling that today would be the last time we saw each other, until the next life. i wanted to call after him as he walked away. to thank him for making me believe in something, what exactly i don't know. for showing me that my heart was strong. as he crossed the street, expanding the distance between us, i felt my throat constrict. i knew that i wanted to cry. but i didn't. i did what i always do. i just kept walking.

important life lessons

some knowledge i have gathered up to now:

• the use of the word panties should be abolished (an exception should be made in regard to the first amendment)
• guys do not change... so you should really stop trying to change them.  you will not be the exception to the rule
• the ideal, movie kind of love exists. i've experienced it. yet, i'm still a cynic
• to win a debate or argument you must always know the other side's position better than your own (thanks dad!)
• the only thing bug spray does is attract more bugs. try dryer sheets instead

mood

i'm not happy right now.  sad not angry.

birthday

today is mine.

i'm not acknowledging it. well other than posting this, i'm not acknowledging it.

nothing in life is easy

even the facts right in front of you are hard to clearly read.

and i love my friends for making me see the things i need to see. to give perspective where it is needed.

for hugging me in closets where i'm trying not to cry.  and then crying for me.

be grateful for what you have and erase those that make you feel like anything or anyone less than you are.
