Day 2: Be Still, My Beating Heart

Task of the day: Today, gaze at everyone wondering whether they might be the one true love of your life, the one destined for you and you alone, and whether you might be passing them by forever... Act in consequence.


This day's task was a bit daunting for me, since I believe that there is more than one true love per person. I did not act in consequence, alas, but I thought a lot about the fact that I might be passing up the love of my life and not even notice it. There were only a few people that I would considering sharing my life with, them being my beloved boyfriend, a few of my friends, and a few random people I thought were fairly good looking as I passed them. The weirdest one that I thought of was my Mass Media Ethics professor, Dr E____a. He's an old black guy from another country (don't ask me where). Today was the first day that he actually looked at me straight in the eye. I thought of what it would be like to wake up to him every morning and it scared the crap out of me. I don't think I could ever wake up next to someone like him, just so... anal. Another thing that kind of freaked me out today was the thoughts of my friend V_____. He came to meet me at my college today since we haven't really hung out in about a year or so. I didn't really tell him about the Book, so I kept my thoughts to myself. Plus I couldn't stop talking about my boyfriend, that amazing man. If V_____ was the love of my life, it would be a weird, awkward, relationship. I'm sorry if you are reading this and don't like it, but it has to be written down for the sake of the blog! I realized that the love of my life does not lie in a first glance at anyone or thoughts that are repressed in my memory. The love of my life... who knows? Maybe it's you.
