Meeting For The First Time

I met George yesterday. It was... everything I didn’t know I needed. He was perfect, more than I could have hoped for. I was nervous at first, about him coming to my apartment, about opening up a little more than I usually do. But somehow, I felt more at ease than I’ve felt in a long time. Like maybe I’ve known him longer than a few weeks. Like there’s this quiet understanding between us that I can’t quite explain.

He was everything I wanted him to be...real, kind, open-hearted. Just like he’s been during all these weeks of chatting on the phone. And when he left, I didn’t want him to go. That’s new for me. Usually, I walk away from moments like this, cautious, guarded. But with him, I just want to hold onto it, onto him.

Part of me whispers, this might be too good to be true. Maybe I shouldn’t get ahead of myself. Maybe something will change, the magic will fade, the cracks will show. But right now? I refuse to let that take away what I feel. I want to enjoy this...this moment of hope, of possibility. I want to enjoy him, the way he makes me feel, even if I’m scared of what comes next.

Trauma Bonding

I had a hard weekend. I was thinking a lot about if I made a mistake with George. I think it's the loss if anything. The loss of something that could have been. A boyfriend. A partner. A feeling that I'm not alone. That I have someone who cares and adores me. He thought I was adorable. He was falling for me. That's the part I miss. Not him exactly. Maybe him in the future, but I think that reality would have settled in eventually and maybe my gut would have proved me right. I am learning to trust my gut. I did with information. The feeling I had that Sunday, the not sleeping, the vaping, the snoring, the not coming when he said he would. Those were all signs by gut was holding on to. I am good at trusting my gut., I know it so well. I think about what Kat said. Is it expansion or contraction. This felt like both, but contraction when he said he would come and contraction when I said I would maybe go. That's worth paying attention to.  Now what Jenny said really hit home...

Keep Connecting

I had coffee with Fer yesterday. It was nice to catch up. She and I can relate to each other. Even when I mentioned that I liked it when men were mean because it was familiar, she got it. Justin also called and I chatted with him. I don't have feelings or that sense of attachment like before, though. That's a good thing. Just a friend. It helps to have other distractions. For example, friends, cycling, and now dating. I am going to meet JC today. So curious to what his real name is. I hope it goes well, but my expectations are low, I don't know why. Maybe because I feel like that protects me from rejection. It stings, but then I'm fine. So, I need to keep putting myself out there. Keep moving. Keep connecting.  I'm grateful for... - family - friends - my health physically, emotionally, and mentally  - feeling ok during recovery from the ride

This Too Shall Pass

Sergio asked me what I expect from him. It's a vulnerable question, but maybe more vulnerable for me that has to answer it. The truth is I don't expect anything from him. He's there, I'm here. He lives in Medellin. If we don't. turn into anything I would still be content. Because we had a beautiful connection. So, if it turns into something great. It would be work, though. If it doesn't, that's great too. I don't think he's expecting that. I am not sure what he expects from me. Sex, just support on his ride, a relationship. I don't know if it is worth asking him, or if after my question it would sway him. Maybe leave it as is and he can answer that if he wants without be asking. It has been fun though, I like the connection. The constant communication. The adventurous spirit. But, this too shall pass. Just like I told him that is what I would say to my future self If I had the chance earlier. This too shall pass, even the good things. So don'...
