many months ago, i was deeply heartbroken over the first love of my life. it was a devastating, overwhelming, emotionally-wrenching, tremendous experience.

then, someone wonderful dropped out of the internetz, walked into my life at ihop, and changed everything.

i never thought i would experience a new love like this. it was a passionate connection. laughter, lust and so much life. intensely beautiful.

even if you think you've experienced the best you'll ever have.... you never know what can happen next. this is my most valuable lesson in love.

and now, in the warm springtime i find myself single again.. though it was not my choice, i feel that the choice is right. and i know it's going to work out.

when you care about someone, you will keep this person in your life. no matter what life throws at you, you know things will be okay. that's how i feel right now. this is only the beginning of a close, dear friendship.

life is experiences, memories, and a very long exciting future.

this is not heartbreak. this is hope.
