Februarium -- Part Two -- Day Three
When I've loved?
When am I not loving? No, seriously.
I love my parents, I love my brother & sister in law (even though sometimes I claim otherwise), I love my grandparents, I love my aunts & uncles, cousins and second cousins. I may not see all of them very often, but they're always in my heart and I do love every last one of them to bits.
I love my friends. I think I grow more attached to friends than I probably should. Not so much because it's bad, but when they're gone for a while I miss them terribly, it actually will make me sad if I don't get to talk to them for a while. And friends have lives that do not and should not always revolve around me ;)
I love my pets. When I think back on the pets that I had as a child I miss them terribly, especially the dog we had from the time I was 12 until I was well into my twenties. That dog was a terror. I probably claimed to hate him three times a day, if not more. But when I wasn't feeling well, he'd come and curl up with me, and keep me warm and make me feel loved. (Not exactly safe, since he was a very small dog) I even love the cat that I inherited, whom I'm actually allergic to. Who yowls at me randomly throughout the day, I don't know what she's trying to say to me, but it's sort of cute when she does it. (sometimes)
I love my surroundings. As I've already stated, my condo is my favourite thing. I love the city I live in, it's cute, and it's clean. Sure there are bad things about it, but I've lived here my entire life and I couldn't really imagine living anywhere else. Well, except two places... I love my cottage. I've been going there since I was still in the womb, and I can't imagine a better place in Canada than that. It can be quiet and peaceful, as well as loud and fun, sometimes both in the same day. There's a lot of trees, there's a lake, there are boats, there are docks to lie on in the sun. It's fantastic and I love it.
I love travelling, I've been to France twice and would love to go back any time. In fact, I'd live there if it were possible. I love the places I've been in Canada, especially Vancouver. What a fantastic city that is. I love the few parts of the US I've seen. New York City is just mindblowing, Charlotte and the surrounding area is lovely, Chicago is an eye opener (or was to me when I was 13), Dallas was beautiful, and not at all like the Texas I was expecting. There are more places of course, but those are the ones I can think of right now.
I just love, there's probably not a day that passes when I don't love something, even if it's just the sunset, the way the air smells, or the outfit I'm wearing that day.
