Go to Portland (An update on my annual goals)

Saturday, May 12, 2012
So I did it. Not only was it the scariest, most exhilarating thing I have ever done before, but it was also the greatest. This was the best week of my entire life
Matthew was incredible, as was spending all my twenty-four hours a day with him. The feeling of seeing him for the first time as I walked towards the baggage claim was a feeling unlike any other I have ever experienced. You know those moments that we capture in our heads like a moving picture, this was one of them. Every detail from his Flash tee to the smile on his face, the warmth of his touch, the sweetness and sincerity when he asked permission to kiss me and the roses in his hands are moments I will never forget. Hearing the words "I see you" and knowing that this was the make or break moment followed with an instant feeling that all my worries were meaningless. We had done it. Our love had transitioned from the internet to life. This was real.
The whole rest of the week is a mixture between meeting members of Matthew's quite large family and those intimate moments between him and I. Amazingly enough, despite all the incredible places Matthew took me and all the amazing experiences we shared, my favorite activities were the ones where we usually stayed at home. Cooking enchiladas with him and doing the dishes was more than that. It was stollen kisses and glimpses into our future together. It was real and genuine to the relationship we have. I found myself imagining us, in a house of our own, thinking that if all our days were like this one, then this is the kind of love I have been waiting for. And every day was as perfect as the last with him.
This trip was an eye opener that's for sure. I learned that sometimes the scariest things for us can be the greatest. That nerves come along with everything great and when we are courageous we are rewarded. Sure you might fall down if you try, but you can always get back up so that is no excuse to not go out and go for your dreams.

On Love: To Re-read c/o Paulo Coelho

Friday, February 24, 2012
General provisions:

A – Whereas the saying “all is fair in love and war” is absolutely correct;

B – Whereas for war we have the Geneva Convention, approved on 22 August 1864, which provides for those wounded in the battlefield, but until now no convention has been signed concerning those wounded in love, who are far greater in number;

It is hereby decreed that:

Article 1 – All lovers, of any sex, are alerted that love, besides being a blessing, is also something extremely dangerous, unpredictable and capable of causing serious damage. Consequently, anyone planning to love should be aware that they are exposing their body and soul to various types of wounds, and that they shall not be able to blame their partner at any moment, since the risk is the same for both.

Article 2 – Once struck by a stray arrow fired from Cupid’s bow, they should immediately ask the archer to shoot the same arrow in the opposite direction, so as not to be afflicted by the wound known as “unrequited love”. Should Cupid refuse to perform such a gesture, the Convention now being promulgated demands that the wounded partner remove the arrow from his/her heart and throw it in the garbage. In order to guarantee this, those concerned should avoid telephone calls, messages over the Internet, sending flowers that are always returned, or each and every means of seduction, since these may yield results in the short run but always end up wrong after a while. The Convention decrees that the wounded person should immediately seek the company of other people and try to control the obsessive thought: “this person is worth fighting for”.

Article 3 – If the wound is caused by third parties, in other words if the loved one has become interested in someone not in the script previously drafted, vengeance is expressly forbidden. In this case, it is allowed to use tears until the eyes dry up, to punch walls or pillows, to insult the ex-partner in conversations with friends, to allege his/her complete lack of taste, but without offending their honor. The Convention determines that the rule contained in Article 2 be applied: seek the company of other persons, preferably in places different from those frequented by the other party.

Article 4 – In the case of light wounds, herein classified as small treacheries, fulminating passions that are short-lived, passing sexual disinterest, the medicine called Pardon should be applied generously and quickly. Once this medicine has been applied, one should never reconsider one’s decision, not even once, and the theme must be completely forgotten and never used as an argument in a fight or in a moment of hatred.

Article 5 – In all definitive wounds, also known as “breaking up”, the only medicine capable of having an effect is called Time. It is no use seeking consolation from fortune-tellers (who always say that the lost lover will return), romantic books (which always have a happy ending), soap-operas on the television or other such things. One should suffer intensely, completely avoiding drugs, tranquilizers and praying to saints. Alcohol is only tolerated if kept to a maximum of two glasses of wine a day.

Final determination:
Those wounded in love, unlike those wounded in armed conflict, are neither victims nor torturers. They chose something that is part of life, and so they have to accept both the agony and the ecstasy of their choice.
And those who have never been wounded in love will never be able to say: “I have lived”. Because they haven’t.
