I could be doing numerous different things right now.



And then there were twelve Love According to others...

Here's another one about my RD & her husband, they are literally the cutest couple ever.
Anyway, 
Yesterday a couple of girls on my staff were studying in their apartment, and we were having a conversation about how crazy Chads (her husbands) senior year of college was. He mentioned all that he lead worship on campus and at church, maintained a class schedule with a handful of units and a bunch of other time consuming activities that a college student usually overloads their plate with. But what stood out to me the most in that conversation was when he brought up how he now looks back on that time, he thinks about how Chaili (my RD) was single and he didn't even know it because he was so busy.
I don't know why this struck me as something so meaningful.
Maybe it was his genuine frustration in thinking how in that semester he didn't have her, in that semester he could have lost his chance to win her heart. Maybe it was the genuine frustration that he could have (not really) lost the woman that he is married to and in love with right now. 
Thats beautiful isn't? Its funny like really funny but its also beautiful. 

You yourself could probably list many things that this teaches you about love. 
I'm not sure if it taught me anything specifically....but I can honestly say this is something that I desire.
I want someone to look back and be frustrated when I tell him how many years I spent praying, journaling and writing poems about him alone, to be frustrated with the moments where he didn't have me. To think about the times that I was single and the list of all (none) of the guys who could have snatched me up.
One day I pray to have this, or at least something like it.
Every person has a desire to be loved and cared for by someone where they are not only afraid of not having you but they even regret the moments where they didn't have you or even know you...

Welp that's my procrastination blog for finals week
for all reading who's still pressing on you can do it!
Now stop reading & go study!
(:


So that's love,
according to others
