…it said something to the extent of “Love is when the way you feel is intimately linked to the happiness of someone else”.

I couldn’t help but feel reassured that what I feel now is surely love at it’s most grand. I know I get on her nerves when I ask her if she’s okay, but honestly, I want her to be happy….her happiness is intimatly intwined with my own happiness. I want nothing else at this moment.

I don’t always know the right thing to say. And I think I’ve come to realize that sometimes not saying anything is just as valuable as saying something comforting. Sometimes we just need to vent, you know?

Anyway, when she hurts I hurt, and I honestly haven’t ever felt that way before. Alot of this is brand new to me….

What does it mean?

We talked, albeit briefly, about what the future might hold as far as residency and possibly being away from each other. I have to admit, my heart was pounding at the very thought of us having to endure a long distance relationship, but at the same time I felt resolute in saying that I’d do whatever it took. Even if I had to take out stock in Southwest/Delta/USAir or whoever. No mountains or body of water will keep me from her. Anyway we resolved to cross that bridge when we get to it.

Never would have imagined feeling this way in the not so distant past….

We’ll see how things turn out….

Well I know it’s been awhile. I would apologize but I’ve been busy being Black In America. My internet opinion has been out there in full force via twitter and facebook, so I’ve not been visiting my little personal hamlet, but know that this will always be homebase for me. I’ll always come back to it! Please believe it.

At any rate, I’ve been super busy as of late. I knocked out another year of HCOP foolishness, in all likelihood my last such year. The students this year…well….yeah…I don’t even need to mention them any further.

After the pre-bacs commenced to leaving I headed to the great state of North Carolina. I spent some time in Greensboro before heading to Durham and then the Outer Banks.

Maaaaaan, the Outer Banks was so very lovely. Hilton Head has been usurped as a vacay destination for adult Cal. I never have need of Jekyl Island either! OBX owns me now. I had a great time and got to know some great people who I’ll hopefully get a chance to see more of in the future!

Life has been pretty good….even the down moments have been brief lately.

I hope it stays this way….indefinitely!

Slowly but surely all of those love songs I loved so much are becoming reality. Most recently “Lose Control” by Silk. It’s funny how things always seem to relate to music.

I’ve been really busy, traveling here and there, missing my babygirl, getting her back for fleeting moments. It seems like we’ll never have time to just be together, but I guess that’s how life goes. For now I’m content with stealing a moment or two here and there.

I’ll be writing more, so be on the lookout!
