Too Good To Be True

What a week it has been since the last time I posted. More like what a weekend! Two dates in one night, one acceptable, while the other definatly was not. But I didnt care, its not everyday I get to be treated like I did with this guy. Life is short, never pass up an opportunity. What I have learned since my 24th birthday is ... you can't help who you fall for, or who falls for you. You cannot ignore chemistry and sometimes, there is always someone better for you then who you are with. There are just a lot of people out there. You have the rare case of my parents, although my father was my mothers knight in shining armor, who saved her from a horrid marriage before. But again, that's not the norm anymore, as much as we all wished it could be.

Saturday I was given a tour around NYC, always a favorite of mine. I was taken to little Italy to this place known for their amazing cannolis (La Bella Ferrara), and well, they do live up to their reputation. This cannoli had the best texture, taste, and richness that I have never had before. Paired with a coffee and Baileys, it was amazing. I looked good and felt good, but the night was not over after that. I was given another tour, of the Bronx, somewhere I have never been to, except for the Zoo, which counts as its own little secluded part. Hearing stories of how it used to be, how nice and safe it was reminded me of many books I read about old NYC and those pictures i painted in my mind of how it used to be, came rushing back. It's a shame the Bronx is not like that at all anymore Last but not least I was driven over the Tappan Zee Bridge to Westchester county. Just more I have never seen before that I am now enriched of knowing.

Here I am, always wanting to live somewhere far thinking that it is better then what I have here, when that is not the case. He is helping me realize that. Where I live is great, and everything that surrounds me is just as much history as anywhere else I imagine I should live.

If I had restricted myself, I would have never been able to see what I did. After that day, it only gets better.

I have a great weekend coming up! :)
