becoming jami

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two." -St. Augustine


this quote has always been my favorite on love.
tonight my mind is just racing about it.
i want to be able to post about china but its like, this is the forefront right now.
its boring, it might be annoying, but its where i am at right now.
i have good days. i have bad days. i have days where i over think and analyze every aspect of my life. i have days where i dont think at all.  i laugh. but i also feel something very sad. i have hope. but i dont want it to be too high.
i misunderstand and take things too literally. 
then i sit and wait.
