so i've had two fortune cookie fortunes sitting on the top of my microwave for months.. maybe years. longer than the breakup at least. they read:
The one you love is closer than you think.
and
You will get what your heart desires.
perhaps i keep them as a gentle reminder that what i'm doing has merit and might eventually result in happiness. i see them every day, but today as i was warming up some food post-run (6 miles yesterday and 4 miles today), i started giving them some thought. maybe the one i love is me. and maybe what i desire is solitude. who knows.
my coworker throws the fortunes away without reading them, which makes me laugh every time we eat chinese.. although it's been years.
