Today I learned...

what real love looks like. The wedding today was so incredible, and I was so happy to be a part of it. I wish I could put it into words, but I really can't. The closest I can come is to quote Mikey, "I've never been so happy for two people I don't know in my life." (I believe that I've found a wonderful new friend in him.) That's how real the love between Arielle and Jordan is. It was fantastic and heartbreaking for me to see. I hope no bad ever touches them. They are so strong, as their families are. Yesterday I had a perfect example, THE perfect example, that love was real shoved in my face. It made me hopeful but at the same time it broke my heart. I hate to think that I'll never find that. My heart is still lost, but it knows what it's looking for. I feel like I did when I was younger and got lost in the woods behind my house. I knew where I wanted to go, but I used other landmarks and markings to find it. And as each sign brought me closer to home, it was never what I was really looking for. The uncertainty of it all comforted me and then made me more terrified than the moment before the last. That is what love is like from my personal experience. I hope it becomes as real as the outline of my home through the trees.
