Well, Mo, this is a precious delight! I am oozing with the thrill of spontaneity and the slow flow of molasses...if that is even possible! You have found something precious, my friend! Can you hear me squealing with excitement for the path you are on?! To come to a bonding like this is a magnificent treasure! All the best for you both and continued boundless love!
Cute couple! I have been in love more than once! I chose the wrong mate! And, I too was a bit confused about my sex when I was a young teenager! So, I know what you mean! I think that's why I married a guy I hardly knew! And because I had just broken up with another guy who wanted to marry me a few months earlier! The guy I married didn't last! I married him in 1971 and divorced him in 1974! But I went back to him, got pregnant and a month before my son was born, we went our separate ways! My son was born in July, 1975! He lived with me until two years ago. He moved out and bought a mobile home for his girlfriend, their cats, her son and himself.
Life and love can be so winding. It means a lot that you felt safe enough to open up here. Wishing you and your son all the love and peace in the world 🧡
As I read the title I got a huge smile on my face and it’s probably plastered on my face now till god knows when. It’s amazing how you can brighten up my day with just a few words! But then again I’m not surprised, you have a ridiculous good way with words and me!
Reading this made me realise I think I’d need my own Substack magazine with 100 or so articles just to list out the insanely beautiful and amazing ways you’ve made my life better by just being here for me! But Mo, life has just begun for the two of us together, and it holds so much more in store I can’t wait!
Mohika,you have a lifetime of Felicity ahead of you. I've chosen that word because 'happiness' is too facile,though I hope a lot of happiness is in there too. Felicity means something more grounded and steady,in fact very like what you're describing,or a rather glam jazzed up version,lol! I'm joking a little,Felicity means (you are good with words you can look it up) it means a kind of quiet steady underlying contentment and that sounds dull and ever since my 1960s childhood all our cultural influences have promoted the exact opposite and encouraged popular thought to despise and reject Felicity as dull and boring and unadventurous and closed in. In fact the opposite is true. Drugs and alcohol seem to close a lot of people down early after a brief shooting star life. I've had a life of Felicity but I'm very aware that in my person I'm not a good promoter of it,I could be The Little Mermaid,lol again,no one wants to think I can be happy and content because no one who looks like that or doesnt have that or that,well that's a loser,how can a loser be happy. It should be illegal for a loser to be happy. It probably is! So enjoying Felicity is double edged,it's much harder to present,as one might say,than a "party lifestyle". So maybe you can have occasional parties to add some glitz to the mix. (I do ramble on). Lastly in pre 20th century literature people often had passionately affectionate relationships with others of their same sex and were uninhibited about expressing their love for each in embracing and kissing. Some 19thC classic novels are really embarrassing to a 20thC mindset retrained to see such stuff as gay/sexual. Gets the kids in class giggling! But even such extreme affection didn't mean sexual as such. I think if you love a PERSON,it's them you love,their inner being,and I now see that all true friendships have to be based on love for that other person,"quite liking" or "convenient to go around with" just doesnt work and soon dies. So due to the late 20th into 21st C media pervasive culture you thought maybe you were a bit "gay" but you weren't but you loved people because that's in your nature and I'm so happy that you had wise and sensible parents who I'm guessing thought along the lines of what I'm saying and gave you freedom to sort it out for yourself. Mohika,you could say all this in one pithy sentence!
Jane, I adore the word “Felicity”. Thank you for gifting it to me like that. You’ve shared so much wisdom here. & humor (I giggled at the Little Mermaid!). I’m really touched by what you said about love being for the person, their inner being. That’s exactly it. Thank you for this thoughtful note. I’ll carry it with me 💛
