Happy spring! Just warning you--I'm sort of sentimental right now. I just watched Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and it really touched me. I guess it addressed a lot of my thoughts and concerns as of late. I have been wondering about love and who I'm going to marry. Don't get me wrong--I'm not trying to get married anytime soon. But I guess I just want to be in a stable relationship before marrying the person and I feel like time is running out. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi reminded me of something that's easy to overlook when your mind is consumed with worry and fear--God has someone just for every single one of us. We all have a soul mate out there who is perfect for our specific needs. I guess I just have to work on myself to get to a point where I am ready to meet 'the one' and leave the rest up to God.
Today was the first day of spring and coincidentally, I came home for spring break today. I took the train home and I guess not having company made my hearing and thinking skills that much sharper. I was standing next to these two girls on the platform as I was waiting for my train and their conversation really made me think. They were both Indian girls and they were discussing how much they don't like to be a part of the Indian group which is constantly filled with drama. It's so funny how many people (ahem, girls) have that attitude and yet they are itching to be at the center of their social spheres. Some people gravitate towards drama and while doing so, claim to want no part in it. I don't mind the drama because I think drama is something people create; I don't think it is an entity that exists apart from people's perspectives. Everyone is living and everyone has things going on in their life. A thing that happens in your life can become the sole focus of your life (and everyone else's conversations) or it can remain just a part of your life--which is what it rightfully should be. I don't understand the obsession with blowing things out of proportion to make what you feel the most extreme version of that feeling to ever exist. Truth be told, none of the emotions anyone feels are new to people. There have been love and heartbreaks and jealousy and anger and whatever other emotions that some people claim 'nobody understands'. It all boils down to your reaction to these events in your life. You can make them more dramatic than they are and become the drama you 'hate' or you can realize that they're just single threads in the tapestry of your life and treat them as is warranted by their insignificance. Take that you dramatic platform girls!
Okay so all of that aside, the Island Fusion ice at Rita's is so good! I had it today as I welcomed spring! Here's to a season full of a vibrant energy that is so desperately needed right now!
