Where the Wild Things Are has always been one of my favorite books. The whimsical characters. The delightful drawings. I think it's one of those books that anyone with some imagination of any age can enjoy. I learned today that Sendak actually intended Max to go to the land of Wild Horses! The only problem was that Sendak couldn't draw horses very well. It's a great story, but I imagine I would have loved it even more had it been a land of wild horses.
I went out for a walk today and found myself truly overcome by the despair of losing you for the first time in at least 2 weeks. It was such a powerful feeling of missing you and feeling as though you would never come back, nearly as powerful as when you first ended things. I managed to control that emotion; however, in about five minutes. I simply have to recall that you are not my whole world. There are plenty of things that can make me happy even when only you can make me happy to the highest point of myself. It's important that I overcame that moment. A small victory that I will need to draw on many times in my life, I imagine, should you and I never reunite.
The rest of my day was pretty uneventful. I worked. I fixed a yummy supper of crawfish etouffe and am now winding down.
I counted 27 Kia's.
I haven't given up hope for us, never think that for a moment. I still know that you are my truelove, the one that I wanted to marry.
Goodnight,
MNP
