When I was in panama, I experience a weird thing.
one night i was waiting for my sisters to get ready... and sleepless in seattle came on - I knew it was sleepless in seattle before it came on. And then I got a sinking feeling in my stomach… like homesickness. I needed (or felt "need") to watch it just to see the things I recognized in Seattle… to feel like I belonged again. Homesick for a city that has never been home, but has felt more like home than any home I've ever lived in.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there's someone out there you could love as much as your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, that's hard to imagine.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: What are you going to do?
Sam Baldwin: Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
that's what i'm going to do... I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.

I almost felt the lonliness of the character… simply due to unhappiness within my own place in life - but to a feeling of belonging and comfort.
Then - I found my journal. I found my journal from panama this week. And somehow, this page fell open. The page that I made notes in about that night. And this quote was written out… and though scratched out in trying to keep up with the dialogue, it's like I needed to find this. At this time - at this exact moment.Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again.
