First of all, do not ask me what "time incandescent" means. It's just one of those random phrases that fly into my head. Occasionally, these random phrases turn into stories or poems. Sometimes they just end up as a title to a song that's forming in my head (currently a pop-rock melody, somewhat upbeat, actually have a guitar lick in mind, only problem is my inability to play the electric guitar). Sometimes, as today, they end up as the title of a blog post.
Anyway, I switched on my cell phone today, and the small text on top of the screen read, "Tu 09-01-2009," and it dawned on me that it's already september. In two months it'll be my first anniversary with Sandra, which is a big thing for me, seeing that I've only been in 2-3 relationships before, the longest of which lasted a little over 8 months.
It's funny to think "it's already a year," but feel "it's only been a year?" at the same time. It's only been a year, but I feel like we've been together for much longer than that. It's like everything that happened before we were together took place in a different, distant place and time.
Which got me thinking, we've all heard about it before, people "marking" points in their lives where something big happened, and everything that happened before that event feels like a lifetime away. It's almost like reading a book, where the events of the one chapter an the next are connected, but span many pages.
I dunno, maybe it's just because I'm still young, maybe it's because I've not much experience in love that I feel like this. But I gotta tell ya, it's a pretty good feeling, one that motivates me to keep going at it in the years to come.
Youthfully naive,
