Well today was good. My diet is going fabulously for those of you who care. I've lost like 5 lbs since I got back from Stanford, including the time on the cruise. It's like miraculous. Hoorah. But really nothing fantastic. It was school. What can I say. I'm officially all caught up on all my stuff though! Double Hoorah!
And as for my last post, I've been getting a lot of comments to not be sad. And some people telling me I'm going over the top. Well to the former, I'll tell you that being in love is a wonderful feeling, and the tears I cry are, I suppose, somewhat caused by the distance and time that separates me from him, but I'm mostly smiling through the tears, remembering the good times and looking forward to times hopefully to come. I see his smile and remember the times we laughed and the way my heart did summersaults when that smile was directed at me. Like C.S. Lewis said in the movie Shadowlands, "The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal." And the part about "the happiness then" refers to past and future. And to those who tell me I'm going to far with my statement, I'm sorry if you think that, but there's no other way I can explain this. This is love as I know it.
I'm crying again, but don't worry about me. It's a good thing. I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and distance does make us wise.
