I know I'm pretty late for this topic. every time I go into a Starbucks I think about that time in 2010 when I went on a field trip with my best friend for her community college in NYC. I was feeling pretty hopeless due to the end of a long relationship and losing many friends because of it. The group took a break in a Starbucks by time square and I got my caffeine fix. As I was sitting there I noticed a super cute dude, he had on a leather jacket, a collared shirt, and dark blue jeans. He was reading and I watched his face light up when he was getting to the good part. He looked up and was smiling and we made eye contact for a solid 40 seconds. Both of us were too shy to get up or say anything, but I felt the spark. He got up and left but I've wondered about him ever since, and if he still reads good books in NYC.
I just got out of another long roller coaster of a relationship. 6 years on and off to be exact. Sometimes I feel like regardless he is the love of my life, but thinking about that time in Starbucks gives me a little light in the darkness of the end. There will be some intriguing person someday that will come out of no where and lighten my fire. Good things come when you stop expecting and focus on loving yourself.
