Intertwined

It ready does suck the fun out of life when I'm sick. I didn't have to work until 3 so I was able to go to a new lunch spot with Adam, get a lot of reading done and rest. I am now on the third book of the Hunger Games. WARNING do not read the rest of this post if you have not read the books and are planning to. I am just over 100 pages of the book. So far Haymitch has turned out to be a big disappointment. I'm hoping there is some sort of big secret about him and a reason for him acting like such a jerk! I don't think Katniss would choose Gale over Peeta with everything that her and Peeta have been through. Katniss and Gale seem more like best friends and Peeta and Katniss seem more suited for each other as partners.

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being "in love", which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
― Louis de Bernières, Captain Corelli's Mandolin

I am grateful for my fortunate accidents. No matter what happens to me in the future, this is who I want to be with. This kind of love to me is lasting. I feel like this is where I am headed.

"Always You"
by Ingrid Michaelson

I wait in the rain but I don’t complain because I wait for you
I don’t feel pain, you’re like novocain, and I got you

It was always you
It was always you

Time and again I thought that the end was just around the bend
You but showed me there’s more, I got more in store, and I got you

It was always you
It was always you

It was always you
It was always you
