When you look up to the stars and there's that little shred of hope, that little ounce of desire, that your special someone is looking up the same time you are.

About This Quote

When you look up to the stars and there's that little shred of hope, that little ounce of desire, that your special someone is looking up the same time you are. A few years ago I met a guy who had a big heart with a big love for life. We were at a restaurant, and we struck up a conversation about the weather. He said how he loved the sun, but complained about the cold.

I said that I loved the sun and hated the cold, but wouldn't complain because it was just part of my life. We talked for a few more minutes about what we were doing that day and how much we both liked to walk around in nature, and then he asked me to give him my number so he could call me later that week so we could meet again. I never heard from him after that, but I didn't hold any bitterness toward him. For me, it was just another date gone wrong—a bad date, but not an awful date.

It wasn’t until years later when I was laying in bed at night thinking about that night that I realized what happened next was an important turning point in my life. I remember thinking as I stared up at the ceiling: If he hadn’t asked for my number, would things have turned out differently? And if they had turned out differently, would things have been better? I came to realize during those few months with him that if our relationship had continued on a normal path after our first date, instead of ending badly as it did, it might not have been as satisfying. But because our relationship turned out horribly wrong from the start... because it was doomed from the start...

because it was just doomed from start to finish... ...I got to enjoy every moment of its demise.
