At this point I feel like the most unromantic person that I know. It’s not that I shun romance, it’s just that for a while I had given up on love. I think that over the years I have been confused about what love was … perhaps I’ve read too many Jane Austen novels where every romance gets tied up in a neat bow and everyone ends up terribly happy. This has not been my experience. Love is usually hard to maintain and you gotta fight for it.
But then again, once in a while, you see “it.” The real stuff. And your heart gets a longing. And you realize that “it” does exist outside of books and off the silver screen.
I’m just smitten. I love our First Couple.
PS. I challenge you not to smile after watching that video.
