Love Love Love

Happy Valentine's Day, readership.

I'm in a trough about my own heart and its capabilities/possibilities but I was just out in my neighborhood seeing couples walk by and I realized I always project a certain identity on to them -- like happy, evolved, mature -- that is in no way justified.

But everyone does this! When I was in a couple I used to be amazed at how many people looked at us, and not just glanced but sort of scrutinized, obviously seeing all kinds of enviable qualities and potentials met, maybe, or maybe not. Maybe I'm imagining this along with everything else. Maybe everything is a dream.
