Day 16 - Your first kiss
Ahhhhhh.... nostalgia.
I was nineteen, believe it or not - mostly because my philosophy on relationships and dating was, and still is, something akin to this:
"Unless it's mad, passionate, Extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them."
Also, the available willing candidates in my teenage years were..... well.... a bit repulsive.
Anyway. I had finally fallen in love, everything was amazing, and I made him kiss me in the middle of the arena - in front of my student, her parents, the other boarders, God and everybody. It was just a brief kiss, but fireworks went off in my head and when I headed off to go teach my lesson, my knees turned to jelly and I wondered if I was going to fall down.
The next day we followed up with a Proper Fairytale Kiss, you know, complete with slanting golden sunlight, fairies, a symphony, all that good stuff. And it only got better from there. It's been more than two years now since I had a Proper Fairytale Kiss and I must say I miss it quite a bit. But the mad, passionate, Extraordinary stuff is worth waiting for...,
