Wow this was beautiful! I didn’t know you were raised evangelical Christian! Are you still religious? Your partnership sounds beautiful, a true safe space for your soul. You sound very giving and generous, and it’s amazing you found a partner who appreciates that rather than takes advantage. I love love. I could see my own relationship in a lot of this. Some of it I’ve grown into through the relationship. Like I used to push to always have dinner on the table, even when I was working full-time. My husband doesn’t cook but he’s always more than happy to grab take out if I’m tired. I used to not even ask! Anyway it’s so wonderful to grow with a nurturing partnership. And ps - I always freak out if he’s safe and will come home too. And Joe is just in the car business. Not nearly as dangerous as construction!
Aw! Well first, thanks, Suzanne! I am...lightly Catholic lol. I didn't agree with a lot of the ridiculous traditions in the evangelical church, but I especially disliked their tendency to talk "talking down on yourself" to a whole new level! At least catholics tended to integrate some action and agency into their practice! (The ones I hung around with, anyway).
I very much have found such a safe place in my partnership, and I'm pleased to see you were saying you saw your own relationship too ❤️ love is great right!? I can't stand how much of a bad rap it gets nowadays. Like, how does THAT inspire hope!!!!?
Yeah, crazy right? When we love someone so much, we fret over random things happening to them!
Outstanding insight and beautifully written! I see my own relationship in your description, but at the same time it's inspiring me to step up and be better!
Niki, this is so wonderfully descriptive of all the ways that we can be ‘lizard brained’ and walk away from the practice of unconditional love. We learn through our lives some pretty lizard like way to protect and secure ourselves… except we are not lizards. We are warm soft fleshy mammals who need to trust and embrace and be vulnerable because we are with someone who has shown us trust. I love that the two of you have a ‘phrase’ to alert the other - Im about to sabotage our beautiful love, help me out while I flail around and disassemble. How wonderful your love is. Keep sharing it in your writing and in your life!
I hope I didn't just hide your comment by mistake but I may have!!
Anyway, thank you for your sweet words, as always! We most certainly aren't lizards!! I'm so grateful to be unlearning those lizard-like protective mechanisms with him.
Thinking fairytale love is pun intended. Could happen, but these people are too in love and living moments together not pondering for discussions.
In writing a tale of a Virginia man from Rich cities hopewell, falls for a up state Martha’s Vineyard East Hamptons, I got all the feelings of the story, could be action in my side being ties with the connection with Russia, the story could have many twists, like the woman might be bisexual, and our happenstance meeting in the war lands trying to stop new drug created by Russia and North Korea, like liquid cocaine, the highest and cleaning rush, or on another tip totally different a romantic comedy where she mistakenly takes a tweet wrong, that may not have been wrong, but was just token down the wrong rabbit hole 🕳️ and comedy would her being wrong and him and somehow they fall in love
Forgot to put in I’d make dinner for you even if was not in love with you. Food is family times, remember, and like I’d like to be family to the woman I love, feeling you have to love at the least, because of blood relations, with your partner you want to mix blood 🩸 and what do we do, creation of another clone of the 2 partners you want to create a new bloodline.
If I didn’t love, in that case I do the same, because since living together is the extension of living with family growing up.
Love for a blood family member is different, seemingly way different in a way, non related partner, soul mate.
I know the soul mate between the sight and the way someone talks, the slight gestures, and hand movement. Captures you. With some many of at a big party, and you trying to find your partner, like becomes closer to your blood family.
This is so beautiful and IMO the best-written piece I've read on your site so far.
For me, fairytale love means being the strongest team - through thick and thin, in sickness and in health.
I have it too ♥️
Awww thanks, Susannah!! The strongest team through thick and thin.....I love that! And I'm glad you have this too. 💕
Love us us is our
Loooove this! You’re giving me hope! Thank you 🤍
Awww thank you! It's hard not to lose hope nowadays ❤️

Thanks!! I happen to have snagged an especially rare treasure in my guy, but I'm glad he's roundabout inspiring you to be even better :)

A end of world theme fits to put us really us against the world 🌎
Or the beginnings of a new world, 80’s maybe an 80’s movie is due. Feels the years up to 1999 was a mindset change, programmed in us.
Why were we partying so hard like it’s 1999. Or courses because we were entering in what we know now as life, really connected to each other.
Little first thoughts think tank for no reason

Little
A fairytale love in terms of 2 people coming together despite all the odds for them to never meet, happening right now.
Say a guy like me a downtown guy, I got some uptown in me, but I am like the Robert Hood or Robin, in I stay closer to the forest people.
Sounds crazy right the forest 🌳 people, but when you hear people on the streets say, this the concrete jungle, in the urban cities.
I straddle both sides with my strong foot, placed on the mean streets side.
A very different side when we have likenesses from a poor man to a rich man.
What is rich and poor?
Do you classify that loin as a poor lion living in the ghetto.
They are kings and queens of their turf.
The concept is crazy right.
Tie this in about the fairytale love.
That woman from Bloomberg Annmarie, kind of gave her my heart without her acceptance of my love.
I thought about how we could be, a woman like her would motivate to stop any vices that would not be part of our team winning.
I wonder who in ends up being with her, and those little love notes, could be another man’s source to do her right, like I imagine I will.
Now another man should have that bar, and be like, well I do all that would, and more.
Rolling the dice with your heart. ♥️

Maybe there many potential soulmates.
Maybe it’s a resemblance is childhood love. .
