A Kiss From John

We have something on our campus called "A Kiss Goodbye" where you pay like a dollar and send a Hershey's kiss with a little message to your friend. It's kind of adorable and helps cheer people up through the mess that is finals week. I got one today from my dear friend John. He spoils me that child. It just meant a lot 'cause he isn't exactly the type to do that for all his friends? He probably picked a few close gal pals. But it means a lot that he cared enough to think of me :)

Sidenote inspired by this post and the latest one on my private blog: Platonic friendships are kinda the best. Like, I've gotten a lot of comments from a lot of people. About John & myself and the idea of maybe one day in the future being together. Of course I get this about Jonathan a lot, too. Karla even mentioned Evan & Storm the other day. I'm used to these suggestions. I have a lot of guy friends, it happens. But I think I'm at the point in my life where I can honestly say, no, it's not a thing and it's never a thing. Life isn't one of those movies where people deny that there is chemistry for years and then they end up together. And to be honest, I could see that happening with a select few people. You, my dearest friend JuanJosé, for example. Obviously circumstances kind of prevent that from happening, but if distance weren't a factor and we were around each other more, who knows?! Or Fabrizio. I'm not his type at all and honestly I don't think I give him too much thought in a romantic sense, but he's also a catch and I'm fully aware of that, so who knows?! Who knows anything?! I sure don't. But I'll tell you one thing. Sometimes people do know. Sometimes people know for a fact. Like me & John and everyone I've listed. And if I end up being wrong, then you can laugh and do the whole "I told you so" thing. But until then, I think it's the job of those around me to support the relationships in my life, be they romantic or platonic.
