I met this girl at karaoke night in my local bar. She got up and sang Fight Song by Rachel Platten. She was a first time performer, and was absolutely breathtakingly incredible- you could tell that she was really experiencing the lyrics, her emotion was raw.

I happened to run into her later in the evening, and we had a bit of a chat. I told her that her performance was fantastic, and she blushed and shook her head...saying she was embarrassed that she had even done it. Said that a boy had just recently broken her heart by leaving her for someone else, and she felt that she needed to spite him by not giving in to laying down and giving up as she normally would. She was pretty tipsy at this point, so she told me about things that she normally wouldn't. Like her suicide attempt a year before, the fact that she currently drinks to numb her mind, and how she doesn't really believe she'll ever even graduate college- but has a 'fake it till you make it' attitude.

Through the rest of the night she cracked jokes, jokes that were so witty it took me a few moments to get. And she confessed that she's obsessed with One Direction, but also has a very alternative music preference so 'don't judge her for that'. She told me about her little brother, and how when she was 18 she took him in after her father's death. She's been supporting him, working full-time, and going to school to be a trauma nurse for 4 years now.

I didn't get her number, or even ask, as I didn't want her to think I was preying on her vulnerability. But honestly guys, it's been 2 weeks and my heart is still jumping out of my chest every time I think about her. It's possible that I may have found the love of my life, and I hope that the universe will somehow bring us back together. Even if it's a silly, far-fetched thought.

So Cera, if you read this...please know that you are one of the most beautiful, INCREDIBLE people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I hope you're doing alright out there.
