In conversation with me pal Nana last night:

Nana: I think we’re all having a disease.
Me: Yeah, and it’s called love.
Nana: Are you saying I’m in love?
Me: Not necessaily…
Nana: Cuz I’m not. I like him, but we’re just going out.
Me: I know, I only mean that we all have a desire to love and be in love.
Nana: And be loved in return?
Me: Yeah.
Nana: Only I’ve never been in love.
Me: Never?
Nana: Never.

And that’s when I realised how lucky I am, with all the pain and misery that comes with being in love, with all the emotions invested in each little infatuation.. at least, I got a chance to love and be in love. And sometimes, when I’m really lucky, be loved in return.
