My Life, My Loves... This is the story of one of them

Looking backā€¦ one love, a star shining on my skies. Promised myself heā€™ll never be forgotten. Since then, of course, other stars in my life followed, each one special in its unique way.

Soon after my divorce I started dating a fellow artist, a lovely angel, a very special one. Everything was fine and "ordinary" in our relationship at the beginning. I was working as a designer at that time, but he saw inside of me what I didn't know it did exist: my "protective" nature.

Now I smile... he was somewhere between delicacy and shyness when he opened up this subject: he was a sensually submissive man seeing in me a sweet Mistress for his soul. He made me quit my job and convinced me I'd be the perfect as an arts teacher for many generations of kids to come... And yes, our bedroom life has changed. After nights of passion, before dawn, full of joys, he used to whisper me the lyrics of this song... he couldn't sing, but his recitation was zephyr in my heart.

After a brief time of together he left for Brazil, never to come back... One day, it was late Summer, I received his friend's letter, a catholic priest, they left together, just a line: "Our beloved friend is resting now".


How some souls can change our lives! When I think of him, I don't have the feeling of being ā€œleftā€, but surrounded by kind of an essence flouting in the air and literally breathing it. And itā€™s ā€œrealā€, I donā€™t need any science or religion to prove me right or wrong, but I would love to know how it happens or ā€œfunctionsā€ā€¦ wish I could do this in my after life for the loved ones Iā€™d have left here.

Well Done Things

I like things done well till the end and in every detail. Sometimes the desired results fail to appear,
but then at least we have the feeling of doing our best... Victory matters, so does the path
towards achieving it!

When Not Online

I teach crafts & visual arts, elementary school level... so in my bag plenty of crayons,
not much eye-liners or lipstick... well, maybe a hand-cream? Noooo, don't say now that you'd like to be my student!

LOVE

What is love?

I love a lot of the universe because we have a purpose here on the planet. I love the sunlight that gives life. One day we could visit the sunshine together. Isn't it nice to enjoy nourishment with each other. We will unite and stand proud join the crew.
Love is it lust?

I know we could have different ways to express the love emotion to one another.
an intense feeling of deep affection.
"babies fill parents with feelings of love"

Definitions from Oxford Languages

this is my definition of love. Every time you see and talk to this person you get butterflies in your stomach. You start to feel a bundle of emotions. You would do anything for this person including taking a bullet for them. You can't function without them. If they left nothing would be the same everything would be ruined
I think I love her every time we talk I feel something I've never felt with anyone before. I would do anything for her
