Talk about kicking the year off with revelations and wide-mood swings.
I cried on New Years day at about 3am in the morning at Keith's place.
I cried a lot. About relationships. About the "what if's" and the "why not"s?
...
A few hours later come mid-day, I received news that a special Kiwanian whom so many Circle K'ers loved so dearly...passed away from cancer.
*blink* I cried again.
I never had the opportunity to get to know him very well, but from the few moments that we did speak, I could see how much he truly loved those around him. It showed.
...
A few days later I flew to Vegas to help Helen and Alice out at the CES convention, reuniting with old friends and developing new friendships.
To see so much passion and love oozing from all sorts of things (ie: electronics) is always something impressive to me. Be it rubber or computers.
Reunited with The Casanovas, Rachel, Tiffany, and Cheriz over good eats and drinks.
I saw John Legend. He was only 25 feet away. I screamed so much my voice chords are still wrecked as of today. The uncanny thing is that Bento photoshoped a pic of me at his party last year...and it came true!
And then I caught up with an old friend...after not seeing each other for about a year...I cried. Again. Because so many good memories came rushing back.
---
One conversation in particular with a new friend...struck out most to me: "Even if you are able to love for just that one moment...that is a beautiful thing."
I think this is something that I have officially realized this month in 2010...and that is...if the opportunity to love arises, I'm going to continue to do so because as much as it may hurt...something deep down inside tells me that it was all well-worth it.
But to remember all at the same time...that the most important thing is to not half-ass anything. To love completely. So that I can be 100% happy.
And that the greatest way to live...is to live to love.
