Certainty

Had an unexpectedly fun day. Intriguing to see how each house reflects the decorator's personality and tastes. A peep into another's life-- really does make one realise the serenity and beauty of others' lives, and reflect on one's own, and wonder what is missing and vice-versa. Haven't laughed so much in such a long time.. feels good =)

I've been perusing through this book-- Persuasion. A phrase caught my eye( actually it was underlined to me by the movie Lake House)--

"There could not have been two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved.."

How poignant. What certainty and conviction were these lines written with. Will I ever have feelings of such depth that to live without that someone would be worse than death? Do I want to have such feelings? Am I capable of them? Will the one I want to love love me the same way? To feel with such conviction, to say--"this is the one" with all certainty, surely that is what love is all about. Or is it not?
