I am smitten. I’m not normally smitten. Infact usually I’m quite
bitter. When presented with public displays of affection I’d usually
roll my eyes or exclaim, “GET A ROOM!” But not after this weekend. This
weekend I saw a couple kissing and I thought, “I remember that. That’s
nice. We should do that again some time.”
Being smitten changes you. It changes your world and leaves you
wearing a ridiculous grin. Hell I even listened to love song
‘dedications’ on the inflight radio on the way home. And even though
sometimes the expressions of love were clunky and awkward, they still
seemed adorable.
It was wonderful. It really was quite transformative. I would cross
the Victoria Bridge to get to the Brisbane State Library with this
ridiculous grin on my face and a bounce in my step. It was truly
magical.
So, to all of the people who made my Brisbane experience so wonderful – and one in particular – thank you.
