I was being all nostalgic...
...and decided to look back at my journal, to see what I was doing exactly 5 years ago today*. I re-read a lot of entries and while I do miss being a student and certain things about that time in my life, I have come to one fabulous conclusion: it is so nice to have someone take care of you. Now, don't get me wrong, I am super independent and love being self-sufficient in all aspects, from financial to emotional. But when I used to get sick (and granted it didn't happen often), I really didn't have anyone to look in on me even though I thought I did. I had convinced myself that I had that person. But I didn't.
Last Wednesday, I got sick. More sick than I have been in recent memory. And there he was, bringing me tea, buying me medicine, without even the smallest request from me. In fact, if he had asked, I probably would have tried to convince him not to do anything, that I was going to be fine. It's such a welcome feeling, such a warm feeling, to know that somehow I got lucky enough to have someone like this in my life.
I may be nostalgic for certain things like being in school, but I would never trade anything - anything - for what I have now.
*I have had this blog for nearly five and a half years. Crazy!
