Love is in the Air

Spring brings blooming flowers, Easter Sunday, Good Friday, warmer weather, "Spring Break," and Love.  In the last month, through the wonderful social media website we call Facebook, I have learned from the news feed that approximately 8 people who are my Facebook friends are engaged with their significant other.  Moreover, 6 of which were probably over the Easter holiday weekend.  As ecstatic as I am about the engagement of all my friends, it is rather bittersweet from my view.  Although, I quickly remind myself that it will come in due time, and I should and am focusing on my career first and establishing myself.  I can help but think of how sad this is for me on this end.  You can't say that I haven't tried, cause that would be a lie.  I have build up the nerve to ask people out whom I would typically never do and I have tried the dating websites (although, some may argue I have not completely given it a legitimate chance).  In due time, romance will find its way to me, I don't fully doubt it.  It just gets romantically lonely sometimes, however, I understand there is a difference between being alone and being lonely.  I love being alone, left with my own devices, time to write, time to read, time to get lost in my thoughts, and observe others.  Nonetheless, love is in the air (among my friends and politically), people are sharing the beauties of life and reinforcing the ideal that love is true, love is grand, and that we all need someone to share our lives with.

Beautiful time of the year and people are happy.  Can't ask for anything more.  Smile.
