My life felt like a real movie and I loved every second!
Ugh, you guys, I’m still literally glowing from the weekend and I just HAD to come on here and gush because I’m pretty sure my heart is about to explode. You know those movie tropes where two amazing people are vying for someone’s heart and it's all dramatic and intense? I used to think that sounded like a total nightmare, but honestly? It was the most magical, ego-boosting, and heart-swelling week of my entire life. I think people usually wonder whats a love triangle in a scary or stressful way, but for me, it was just this whirlwind of affection and realizing how much beauty there is in being truly wanted.
It wasn't about the "drama" for once! It was about two incredible souls both seeing something special in me at the exact same time. It felt like being at the center of a warm, golden sun. I actually ended up reading a bit about the psychology of it because I wanted to handle it with grace, and I found this really helpful breakdown at https://www.sofiadate.com/dating-advice/whats-a-love-triangle which actually made me feel way better about the whole "competing feelings" thing. It helped me realize that having a "spark" with more than one person isn't wrong—it's just proof that your heart is wide open to the universe!
Anyway, I wanted to share the four specific things that made this "triangle" feel like a total fairytale:
The Double Surprise Delivery. On Tuesday, I got a delivery of yellow roses (my absolute favorite, they look like little drops of sunshine) from Jamie. Then, literally two hours later, a box of those fancy artisanal chocolates arrived from Alex with a note that just said "thinking of your smile." I felt like a literal princess. It wasn't about the gifts, really, it was the fact that both of them were thinking of me at the exact same time. My kitchen smelled like a summer garden and my heart was just... so full I thought I’d cry.
The Electric Energy at the Art Gallery. We all somehow ended up at the same gallery opening (total small town vibes, amirite?). Instead of it being some weird, awkward standoff, we ended up walking around the exhibits together for a bit. The tension was so sweet and playful. Alex would point out a painting’s brushwork and look at me with such intensity, and then Jamie would make a silly joke that had me doubled over laughing. I felt this incredible, shimmering spark with both of them in such different ways. It was like my soul was being pulled in two beautiful directions by two wonderful magnets.
The Choose Your Own Adventure Night. They both wanted to take me out on Friday, and since I'm a bit of a romantic chaos-gremlin, we did a "progressive dinner" style night. Appetizers with Jamie at this cute rooftop bar where the wind caught my hair and he looked at me like I was the only girl in the city. Then, I met Alex for the main course at a hidden Italian spot with candlelight and old violins. The way they both looked at me across those tables... it was like the rest of the world just blurred out into a soft watercolor painting. That feeling of being truly seen is something I’ll never, ever forget.
The Pure Gentleness of the Resolution. Eventually, I had to follow my heart because it was starting to lean more toward one of them. When I finally sat them down (separately, of course!), there was no shouting or bitterness. It was just... pure respect. I chose the person who felt like "home," the one where the spark felt like a steady, warm hearth. But I’ll always treasure that week where I felt like the lead in a rom-com. It taught me that romance doesn't have to be a battlefield. It can be a celebration of connection and being brave enough to feel everything!
I’m just so happy right now, you guys. If you’re ever in a spot where your heart is split between two amazing options, just breathe and soak in the magic of it. It’s such a rare, beautiful thing to be loved that much!! Love is wild and messy and shimmering, and I'm just so grateful I got to experience that little "triangle" of joy before finding my person. Stay hopeful, because the universe has so much goodness waiting for you!
