A new road to travel

Where does it hurt?
Right now, surprisingly, nowhere. Okay, so this is all new for me. Maybe I'm a little nervous, but mostly, I'm just curious. Like I said, this is an all new experience for me. There's no path engraved in stone, no sign pointing in any particular direction. This is unmarked territory. Now most people would be terrified, and maybe just yesterday, I'd have been among them. But right here, right now, my heart is full, and I feel content.

Imagine that. Me, Jude Harrison, content for once in my life. But it's true. Right now, I feel ready to field whatever life feels the need to throw my way.

As I sit here scribbling in my notebook, which I'm prone to do, he's just looking at me. So I glance up occasionally, meet his eyes, and he smiles. I can't help but smile back, and as I do, I notice his arm inching closer and closer to me until it's finally around me. I feel comforted by this; his arm, his warmth, everything about him.

Decisions. Sometimes the choice you make can affect your entire future, and I can't help but feel that this is proof of that. But regretfull I'm not. Because I know I made the right one. Maybe I don't know where this road goes. But I'm okay with that. And, since we won't be coming into contact with any physical form of a road for a while, I've got a lot of time to think. About life, love, everything. I know this is the start of something new, something beautiful. And as long as this man is beside me, it's a road I'm ecstatic to travel.
