I recently ventured to New York in order to visit the love of my life.

I decided the trip in less than a week. Thank goodness for online flight reservations.

The adventure began on my birthday. I received a fortune cooked that stated, "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."

And it suddenly hit me. I needed to go to New York to see if what I felt for this person was real and if any future could come of this amazing connection. This was a pivotal turning point in my love life. So, I decided to seek out flight reservations. The cheapest possible flight was the one that departed that very weekend. I booked it. Before I knew it, I was standing face-to-face with him.

A ship in a harbor is safe. If I hadn't made flight reservations online, I would have been living safely; however, I would have not felt fulfilled. The love story continues, but I remain uncertain where we stand. Everything that we felt was real. Only the future can tell if we belong to one another.
