the strongest magic of all: the power of the human heart.

that's what i read from the back of my Ever After DVD--the first "official" DVD to my nonexistent collection, courtesy of P. i had gotten "Centerstage" earlier, but some of you know what happened to that. long story and a million interpretations. =P it's truly amazing to have a heart. who do we love? how do we love? what DOES it mean to love?

my friend A reminded me of this recently:
If you love it, set it free.
If it returns, it was meant to be.

i've had my fair share (and continue to do so) of "love memories" in life. good ones, bad ones, weird ones. whatever. simply put, i just love my friends. since we recently had "thanksgiving," i really got a chance to reflect on people and i came across some many nostalgic memories that got me all teary-eyed. yes, it was one of those! every little bit counted; it didn't matter how long we've been friends, how much we've interacted, or how many deep conversations we've exchanged, you guys are all so so special to me---and i'm sure more than half of you don't even read this! i love you all and i love you more every day. i know you are all God's gifts to me, and I NEED to make sure I cherish that, and not forget! I LOVE YOU!!!

you're probably thinking i'm psycho to publicly announce my affections for you, but heck, you've put up with me for this long, the idiosyncracies, the attitudes, the whines/complaints, the ditziness,....everything! man, i can't even deal with myself sometimes. ;)

well, yeah, i guess this sounds like just another pointless la-di-da blog, but it's only because you're special.
