My husband is flying to Chicago in a couple of weeks on a business trip. THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW. My schedule is made out 6 weeks at a time so it's not like I can just take off last minute any way but STILL. I love to travel anywhere there's a hotel and scenery other than here.
Last week while I grabbed some dinner to go, I'm standing in line to pick up my order and I feel this tug on my sleeve. It was the guy who was my biggest crush all through highschool. We wouldn't even have recognized each other if it weren't for our class reunion last fall. He's lost some of his hair, some of it gray and of course just generally older looking. He was adorable way back when: sort of arrogant, athletic, soooo cute. Just my type (whatever that was). We even double dated once and I was a terrified 16 year old in the back seat with him. At the end of the night, I kissed him on the lips over the car door and that was it. No chemistry really and I was completely inexperienced and knew nothing past kissing and slightly making out with a guy while in his lap.
My how things change. My school crush is now divorced with two teenagers. His daughter was there eating with him. And I felt no lingering feelings of any sort. Funny how our perspectives change with age. He grew up and became an ordinary, nice guy.
Love is so silly and everything about it seems so super super serious when you're a teenager.
In a sense though, it never gets any easier later on.
Wow, this got strangely reminiscent:D
