all the lonely people, where do they all come from?

Make a wish.

It's remarkable, people. Really. I just find it incredible how relationships and interactions work. At Relay last night, I spent some time with AJ and Jeremy. The way they interacted was just, I don't know, but I loved it. It's obvious that they love each other, although guys don't say that. They reminded me of me and Sarah. Incredibly comfortable, and able to think on the same wavelength. I was told a beautifully amusing story about Ben, starting with version 1.0 up to 7.0. ("Ben 6.0? We don't talk about Ben 6.0.") And how they had it all worked out, and it was just one of those things that to see them put my soul at ease, in the same way that when I saw that couple. Which is another story I am about to indulge in.

One time, I was in Disney World, which, to be frank, is not my favorite place. I hadn't had the best of days since it had been a long day and one can only tolerate the family for so long. I was tired and exhausted (I'd had dance conventions all week as well) and just wanted to be alone and asleep. Now, in Disney World, there are these little rocks scattered around that emit music, so that you're perpetually surrounded by the musical "wonder" that is Disney. I believe that at the time, the theme from Beauty and the Beast was playing. An old couple came up to the bus stop where we were waiting. They were holding hands (which always makes me happy) and laughing about something. They leaned into each other to talk, as if they were teenagers confessing love just to each other. It was beautiful and then he stepped away from her for a minute to twirl her before gathering her in his arms and they began to dance. They both moved comfortably as if they were one being, as if it had been planned, although the delight on both their faces gave away the true spontenaity of the situation. He twirled her out again and she laughed up to the stars. When the song ended, he kissed her cheek, and they walked away with their arms around each others' waists. Their love made me totally forget everything, but that there was love. I felt pure and clean inside, as if an angel had kissed my soul. Watching them made me fall in love with life, and I realized that I want to be like that when I grow up. The next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I'm going to say "In love."

In any case, I just think it's fascinating the way people interact with each other. I'm referring to good positive interactions between lovers and friends, not the mean kind because I believe in the endurance of love, not hate. At Relay, Sarah sent me a singing telegram. I didn't know what was happening at the time, but she came up to me, hugged me, and then began to sing to me. She does this periodically and as she sang "You Raise Me Up" I simply looked at her and grinned with love. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jeremy glance over and ask AJ what was going on, to which he responded with some typical boy comment like "I dunno, but I've got an open mind and a camera, so it's all good..." but I knew he understood. And it was a beautiful moment, with the girl I love singing to me. :)

I'll probably continue this post later, but for now, I must go watch Harry Potter! *Giggles*
