As my story is written, I didn't realize that this time in my life was only meant to be a chapter in the novel of page turning events. To be honest, I think from the beginning I was skeptical that he would be a main character. He definitely played an important role and I have done more adventurous and fun things with him by my side. There was something very bittersweet about our mutual feeling that all we really are are friends. On the one hand, it's a sad feeling that neither one of us could look at the other and feel more. On the other, it gives me hope that there is something more in store for me; a relationship of friendship AND love.
And the story continues...

40 Days
Lent can either be a rewarding challenge or agonizing disappointment (... except Sundays). It seems more practical than the impossible New Year's resolutions, tho. But for only 40 days of my life it has the potential to be a game changer. I am hoping one new challenge will turn into a habit. I am giving up giving in to temptation. And it's not just the 'giving up' but what will take its place. I hope to live each day with Honesty, Humility, and Sincerity.

Updating My Fairy Tale
I began the draft of this post weeks ago....
It is time I update my fairy tale with a modern twist. But in my mid 20s and in this world my generation has created, it seems that what I want and how I get it are opposing desires. What happened to the classic days of being romanced and swept off your feet? Maybe, I am an old soul. For one thing, I know he should be my best friend. Every other decision I make in my future will be impacted by who fate matches for me. I don't need the fairy tale that is picture book perfect. I want to write my own story.
.... Then, life happened and the pages began to write themselves.
