I'm not trying to convey a message, I'm just trying to tell a story.

Well, because sometimes you love someone but they might not be the right person for you. That takes some time to figure out

But I have learned that you can't just create your own timetable and will it to come true.

Some of my very closest friends are my guy friends, going back to the third grade, so I believe in the integrity of the male-female friendship.

My head spins as I glance away, refusing to get sucked back into his gaze when so much is at risk.

I still think I love him more. It's one of those things you never know for certain because there's no way to enter all the relationship data in a computer and have it spit out a definitive answer. You can't quantify love, and if you try, you wind up focusing on misleading factors.

For true downtime, I enjoy going for light runs, having drinks with friends and going to the movies with my husband.
