Dear Soulmate,
What do Fridays mean to you?
Do you like to unwind after a long week at a bar, at home or somewhere difficult to get to that requires a long distance drive?
In a recent news report I read how people’s personalities can be broken down simply by the things they Google. I figure that people’s typical Friday night plans perhaps reveal the same about them.
Even when I don’t go out on a Friday, there is enough energy around me to make me feel that I have. Traffic streams into the city, pouring into the one-way streets and melding into strips of red and white lights down the city’s more busier routes.
With the holidays quickly approaching, the incentive to see Boston in all its seasonal decor only heightens.
It is easy to get lost in the busy shuffle of people coming and going, like standing in a crowded airport terminal.
Sometimes just walking through the city at this time of year on Friday nights feel very much like Christmas eve. There is a hint of promise and excitement that hangs off the bare tree branches, threaded with strings of dazzling lights. There is something optimistic in the way skaters glide around the common’ s rink, moving together in the same circular direction.
It’s comforting to say the least- like seeing an old friend again. And it’s a lot like being in love.
Finally, as I sit here and write to you, the sun has finally poured its rays onto the rain slicked streets. After days of being blanketed by a drenching rain and dark clouds, its long overdue appearance is most definitely welcomed.
I hope you have a wonderful Friday, whatever your plans may be. If I don’t see you then just know that I always wish you the best of everything in the world.
Love, R
