Couldn’t sleep tonight, so do what I usually do. Get in my car and drive. Due to the bad weather, I didn’t get far, just to a late night convenience store up the street.
But on my travels, this song by Rihanna came on. One from her that I’ve never heard before. And I thought I heard them all. The words just spoke to me and I sat in my car in my driveway just to listen to the rest.
And it made me think of ‘The Hiker’ and our daily talks about how we can’t wait to see each other. And how it can’t come soon enough. So the lyrics just stuck in my head. On a daily basis he does things to make me smile. And we just sit on the phone in our twice or three times a day conversations and just talk about everything.
Right now he is hundreds of miles away, but we have already discussed a plan for the time being of meeting halfway every month for now. And see where that leads. Maybe look for jobs up in New England? That is a possibility I am thinking about. One that has been discussed. Not unusual since before I said I might want a change of scenery. Who knows what the future will bring.
But it is always good to have possibilities and think outside the box. Right now, nothing is off the table and my options are wide open.
* On a side note, I am writing this on my phone and apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors.
Enjoy your journey through this thing called life. It looks like your recent decisions have opened up some interesting new routes you might take…
They’re all inherently “correct”. Whatever happens down each route will add to who you are.
Sleep well tonight.
(Do they sell Horlicks in your neck of the woods? Mmmm, I can smell the scent of my childhood, just writing its name.)
Thanks, and what a journey it is! And I think once you open your mind to new possibilities, it takes away a lot of the fear and you just do what you feel is right.
And sorry, never heard of Horlicks. What are they? But if you say they smell good, I’m all for that!!
Horlicks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horlicks
Basically a malted hot milk drink. Very good just before bed. At least it is if you’re 8 years old!
Sounds delicious! To bad we don’t have it over here. We have something called “Ovaltine” which I am not sure you have. Sort of the same.
Ah yes, I remember Ovaltine as a kid in the UK too. Horlicks is available in Canada. At least BC. Like Ribena, these familiar UK things are imported to BC via Hong Kong to keep the local Asian immigrants happy. It’s weird seeing familiar UK brands… in Chinese!
I know I keep saying this… but I mean it… it makes me happy to see you happy… I truly hope this works out for you
He sounds like a great guy!
I truly appreciate your sentiments!! And I want the same for you too!! Hopefully it will work out. Enjoying it right now and see where it all leads! He is a wonderful man though.
