Love Happens

In Jan 2010 I decided to get out of the city I had grown up in and move across the country. In search of adventure, love, and freedom I landed on my feet in Dallas, Texas. I intended to make it to Vegas where I would reside with an old friend but fate had a different plan for me. I brought with me only what would fit into my Mustang; clothes, my electric wok, and makeup (the necessities). I resigned from my job of 5 years in the wireless industry and said goodbye to all of my loved ones, however, I wasn't entirely alone. I brought along one of my best friends, Kyle. He and I made the decision to stay in Dallas together and we began to build our lives back. After a brief experience of living together we decided alternate arrangements would be necessary for sanity's sake. I have recently moved to another part of town and share an apartment with a new friend. When I arrived I found something so symbolic that I was almost moved to tears. Given I don't actually cry (a blog entry for another day), let's just say I was extremely moved. In my new bedroom hung a lone poster for a Jennifer Aniston movie. Surrounded by pure walls and iluminated by the window's sunlight were the words "Sometimes when you least expect it... Love Happens." If only you could understand how much I seek love from every corner of the Earth then you would grasp the symbolism. I left the poster hanging where the former tenant left it and I plan to frame it. You can be assured that it will be going in the Mustang with me the next time I skip town. xoxoxo
