happy july

have you realized how many once-in-a-lifetime experiences we overlook every day?

sure, there's graduation, the final concert, acceptance into our dream college, marriage. but we usually don't overlook these things.

there's also that one small gesture or expression, a test that you might have dreaded taking but aced anyway, running into someone on the way to class because you decided to walk a different way, seeing four shooting stars race across the sky at a beach bonfire, driving all the way to riverside because your friend left something at his DMV appointment and singing your lungs out to As One's Sonnet in the car, or just the look on someone's face when you've made them truly happy.

i know it's a cliche, but it's true when they say life isn't long. how much more can we experience out of life if we stop taking every other little thing for granted ?

oh, and june 26 was truly an amazing day. it fulfilled all my expectations and more, it exploded my heart and left me wishing for more. i truly love you and thank you for the world of difference you've made in my life. see you soon.
