Coffee Shop Confessions...: back to reality

my reality is a good one. actually, i think it's pretty great. while g was in peru, i was made more aware of this, as my days felt incomplete with his absence. reality, skewed. before i moved in with g, i relished my time alone, doing whatever i wanted whenever i wanted. but of course, i always looked forward to spending time with him...when it was convenient for both of us. you could say it was the best of both worlds. "me" time, then "us" time. compromises, unnecessary.

now that i live with g, my reality has changed. it now involves compromise, communication, and a bit of dependence. no longer do i play by "my" rules, on "my" schedule. and to be frank, i'm okay with that. my life with g in our hole-in-a-wall of a home is far more fulfilling than my life alone. we are growing together, depending on one another for support, safety, and love.

all of this is to say: G IS BACK HOME! my two weeks of complete independence were fine, but boy oh boy, did i miss my partner. i picked him up from the airport yesterday, surprised him with a sign, cried like a fool, and embraced every last second of our reunion. and you better believe chase was ecstatic, as his playmate returned.
