It's been a while...

In the movie Practical Magic, if you've ever seen it, Nicole Kidman's character describes love to her little neice like this:

Gillian Owens: You ever put your arms out and spin really, really fast?
Antonia Owens: She does it all the time.
Gillian Owens: She does? Well, that's what love is like. It makes your heart race. It turns the world upside down. But if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. You can't see what's happening to the people around you. You can't see that you're about to fall.

I think it's a pretty apt description. Now, I'm not saying I'm in love, I'm talking about love. I think of it as driving down rural roads with all the windows down, screaming at the top of your lungs, "I'm in love!!! I love _____!!!"

You can't concentrate. You hold your phone next to you all the time, waiting for the next time he calls, because he said he would, and you trust him 100% to keep his word. Anything you try doing: reading, movies, burning one, listening to music, writing in your journal... none of it lasts for more than five minutes, because you have a one-track mind.

In a way, it's magical. In a way, it sucks :)

But it's worth it.
