My Heart Belongs to Davis

While this summer has been quite hectic, there have been a handful of good things to come out of it. Whether it was all the new friends I have made at my jobs, helping certain friends with some great life changes and even getting a head start on some major writing, the best part has been rather unexpected.

It seems my major accomplishment this summer was to finally get close with someone I’ve always admired. Obviously I’m talking about Davis. Not to say that we weren’t good friends before this—we’ve known each other for 10 years at this point but I never really had much time with him away from the social whirl and twirl. But various things this summer—mostly job related—had led to us spending a lot of time together which allowed us to have a lot of great talks.

It’s funny how much more you can learn about a person being with them one on one then in all the nights out, parties, dinners and holidays combined. I found out that besides being funny and heartfelt that Davis is smart and silly and more aware than I imagined. That we could have small debates over big issues and not see the same but still respect where the other is coming from. That we work really well together because we both understand where the other is coming from. It’s cool to finally feel like you’re starting to get someone and how exciting that all is.

Of course—this is a bit ‘gay’ as Davis would put it but it does make me eager to spend more time with people I usually don’t get to see one on one. Because my heart is big enough to belong to a lot more people.

Wow—that sounds trashy.
