Today’s Thunk
Robert Frost
“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”
Last night, while my lovely boyfriend was successfully avoiding being slightly annoyed with me for being a little snookered after returning home from a PR party where i inhaled a couple of vodka tonics, I lolled on my bed and pulled out a seemingly endless series of personal diaries and journals from my past. Printed out emails. Confessions of having phone sex with near strangers. Guilty bemusings about crushes and lust. Restrained notations on the archeological excavation of heart bruises and breaks. Tear stained sheets. Plane tickets to see a boyfriend. Rose petals pressed carefully betwen pages. Sketches. Doodles.
I read him excerpts of my past romantic bemoanings and he giggled at me.
And I thought to myself, wow. I’m still the biggest megadork ever. STILL!
But wow. It’s all worth it when I think about where I am now and who I have in my heart these days.
Squish. Mega dork.
