I'm sitting on the couch with my feet up, the ceiling light halfway on, and the far left window open. The dust from earlier has settled. I got out of work nearly four hours earlier than planned, which was great, but am bummed that I still had to miss what I'm sure is a beautiful dinner. There are some people that you meet and you know within seconds that there is a) something extraordinary to be learned from them, b) magical times ahead, or c) that they bring with them some part of the (fill in the blank, for me it's peace) you've been looking for. It astounds me on a regular basis that most of the adults in your life are those people for me. And that a few of them are even a,b, and c.
I cannot for the life of me begin this introductory speech that is due in two days, so I'm contemplating and attempting to find words for that concert that changed my entire heart this past thursday. I felt new. Like Nate kept singing, I felt alive. And he took what I feel for you and put it into words and melody. I can't stop thinking about it, yet I can't put it into much more words than what I just did. But it was a life-changing night. And I've never been so in love as when I caught your eye during The Gambler. Days can be shitty, and today was. But you keep me focused on the big picture. And the big picture is fucking golden.
