Since a couple of days, I've been walking around all day with this stupid smirk on my face. My bicycle wasn't working properly, the bus was late, and so was my train. But even that didn't bring my spirit down the slightest. It's freezing cold, but inside I'm all warm still. All these butterflies are flying around in such a fast pace their friction causes heat in my stomach.
While I'm writing this in my notebook (actually my day planner, but it was the only paper I had readily available) I'm standing in this enormous bus with an even more enormous crowd of students in it. Usually this would have gotten me cranky, but today not. No, don't even mind all those people in my personal space. Don't mind today that most of them have smells of sweat, internal gas, or wet dog. And I can't be affected by their bad moods or the fact that I will probably have problems reading my own writing (because of lack of space for holding my booklet or my pen steady) later when I'm typing it up (and I did, but it made me smile even more).
I can only feel the love today.
While writing this last sentence I'm smiling some more even again. It got me thinking of the Lion King theme song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF4CWCXirZ8) and how today I wouldn't even mind having to listen to Elton John songs (or be disturbed by the fact that my Best Male Friend is listening to him now. Funny, he just told me via text while I was writing this. More smiles!). His songs are usually too happy for me.
You might wonder what happened some nights ago? Well, I was inside, curtains closed, curled up on my couch under a blanket, watching a movie. When I got tired and went to bed, I opened my bedroom window and then it happened: this tiny little snowflake fell on my nose. I looked outside, and oh yes! Snow! Lots of it! My favorite object of affection was back again. True love.
