~:[CH6 - Day 45]:~ Where Hearts Collide

With thoughts of fairy tale endings and Korean dramas running through my head, I walked out into the parking lot to this beautiful scene. Another late night working, arriving to a fairly tranquil place. It was a nice change of pace from a day where frustrations, adaptation, and fatigue reigned supreme. As while the strain of the day pulsated through my veins, this scene made it all go away. Today is day that often people fear and others welcome with open arms, but I've often thought that it should be a day like any other. I am truly a romanticist, as these fairy tale story lines run through my head and my plans get put into place, however, much like Hwan Ki, my thought process makes me hesitant and my armor keeps a safe distance from the outside world at times. However, while I believe and hope in these magical moments and happy endings, a day like today should be a day we celebrate every day. Too many times do we use the holidays as a time to reconnect to friends, family and loved ones. however, shouldn't everyday be one in which we celebrate those whom we love? I bought into the holiday as I brought my students candy and went to the market to get a card and flowers for my mom, yet I cannot let today be the only day. As while hearts and the color pink and red fill the air today, they must continue to shine bright day after day and night after night. Each and every night should be one filled with love, with each day capable of its own fairy tale ending. While I wander an empty parking lot alone, I will not forget to remember that when the parking spot is filled next to me, that it will not only be today that I make special, but as many of my days as I possibly can. Life will not be perfect. Some days, the light will go out, the rain will make things challenging or the lines may one day fade away, however, it is within us to allow our hearts to overcome all the obstacles we may face in life and lead us to an ending we can all celebrate. At points today I may have felt lacking, but then I remembered that while the parking lot may be empty, I must be prepared for the day when someone pulls into the space beside me so that every day can be a day as special as this one. To the loved ones around me whom I am lucky to share my life, Happy Valentines Day to you, as I send my love today and every on every day moving forward.
