Love Song for No One.

So today I spent the day with one of my best friends, who was freaking out about her love life.

And let me tell you, she was in hysterics. She had every right to be.

It was the kind that makes you laugh insanely to hide your tears, the kind that apparently makes you want to walk miles just to clear your head... the kind that drives you to your best friend's house on a Sunday afternoon.

I thought she handled it quite well. After a couple of hours of talking about how, why and where, we came to surround ourselves with her art. Her paintings, her paper cut-outs, the Sunday comics, food. We even ended up spilling glue on my bed sheets and washed it off in my bathroom sink. Then I took pictures of it all - it was so great I had to document it.

As I sat there, I realized something. The power that men have over our emotions, our feelings, is incredible. So incredible that it can drive a girl to madness. Yes, I know, hard to admit, but we all know that that obsessing over what they said, how they said it and how many times they said it isn't going to change anything. So you know what? Let's enjoy life while we can. Let's not wait for our knight in shining armor or look for Mr. Perfect. Instead, why don't we look around and see the perfectness in the mess of life and bask in the love of our friends. He'll come one day - I know. But right now, the love song I'm listening to is just for me.
