i have learned, and am still learning, that things don’t always happen the way you think they will. or the way you expect. or sometimes, the way you wish they would…

and in my lessons, i have been taught time and time again that there is always a perfectly good reason why.

i never believed in love at first sight.

i certainly wasn’t expecting to find it…

and yet, yesterday i was struck.
it was intense.
it was immediate.
and it was incredible.

never before have i felt so much emotion and (simultaneously felt) completely at peace. it is a heady combination.

and i am enamored.

…all at once.
