El dia de San Valentin

La ultima cosa en mi mente en el dia de San Valentin, era el amor. Nunca pense en ello antes, pero este año la cosa fue un poco diferente. Estuve con alguien antes, un chico espanol, y no podia pensar en nada mas que el. Cuando sali con mis amigos esa noche y mi amiga Nandi hablo con el como diciendole que no podia hablar conmigo...me di cuenta del poder de la amistad. Ella me habia visto dolorida por alejarme de el, y sabia que yo estaba mejor sin el. Lo unico que importaba en ese momento era aliviar mi dolor. Yo confie en ella mas que en mi misma esa noche. Nos fuimos sin hablar con el. El dolor se fue en unos instantes despues, hubiera estado ahi siempre, pero se fue. Que ridiculo es lo que a la gente nos puede afectar...quiero decir...el amor! Me encapriche con el demasiado rapido. Me llevo el doble de tiempo olvidarme de el durante el tiempo que estuve con el. Decidi concentrarme mas en lo que es importante para mi: disfrutar mi tiempo en Espana y hacerlo con la gente a la que le importo, mis amigos.

The last thing on my mind on Valentine's day was love. Never was it on my mind before but this year was a bit different. I was with someone before, a Spaniard, and I couldnt think of anything but him. When I went out with my friends that night and my friend Nandi told him that he wasnt allowed to talk to me...it made me realize the power of friendship. She had seen me through my pain of getting over him and knew I was better off without him. It was only a matter of time that my pain would go away. I trusted her more than myself that night. We left and I didnt talk to him. The pain went away shortly after that, it had taken forever but it went away. Isn't is funny how much people can affect us...I mean...love! I fell for him so quick and too quick. It took me double the time to get over him then when I was with him. I decided to concentrate more on what is important for me, to enjoy my time here in Spain and do it with people that care about me, my friends.
