You Can Only Control Your Own Actions.

I'm Nostalgic And I Do Think About A "what If."

I Really Try To Focus On My Books And Readers.

We Are One Of Those Couples I Used To Watch, Thinking To Myself That I'd Never Be On The Inside Of Something So Special. I Remember Reassuring Myself That It Probably Looked Nicer Than It Actually Was, I Am Happy To Be Wrong About That.

But I Have Learned That You Make Your Own Happiness, That Part Of Going For What You Want Means Losing Something Else. And When The Stakes Are High, The Losses Can Be That Much Greater.

Sure, We Were Friends Who Exchanged Soulful Glances, Friends Who Slept In A Bed Filled With Sexual Tension, Friends Who Found Any Excuse To Touch, But I Worried That We'd Never Take That Perilous Leap Of Faith Toward Becoming A Real Couple, A Permanent Team.
