Love Is In The Air

It's been a wonderful weekend with my friends. After hanging out in their hotel room yesterday, my friend wanted to go for a walk and get some fresh air. So we walked over to the mall without any particular destination in mind.

I remembered the time at the mall when I was completely oblivious and he walked right by me with a blond girl. My roommate was the one who noticed him and of course, was the one who also planted the seed of jealousy in my head. That wouldn't have been the last time she corrupted my thoughts. I have since learned to not be influenced by other's misconceptions and TRUST in him.

As we walked by the same spot where we had crossed paths, I wondered if it happened with his new girl, if he would not acknowledge me again. Meanwhile, I looked all around me. There were couples happily walking about, guys shopping for Valentine's gifts, and an overdose of romantic marketing. I then accepted that if I did run into them, that I would be happy for them.

I never really understood Valentine's Day anyway, not just because I never really had a real Valentine but because Love should be expressed and shared every day of the year. It also happens to be my mom's birthday, so almost every year, I visit to celebrate. This year is no different as me & my roommate will head down this weekend to also do a run.

A few months ago, I envisioned a different Valentine's Weekend. Alas, the Universe had other plans for me.

Nonetheless, I still feel all the love in the air. And I'm taking it all in.
