Posted by CoucouYou're welcome, my friend. รฐลธลยท
I feel so squishy and at peace from reading this. Thanks for sharing, Lilly. ๐



Posted by TheLadyScorpioSo much to be thankful for. Thank you for sharing your words. รฐลธลยธ
Finally Lilly, this was change from the rubbish that often spews out on dxp.
That was a wonderful post and thank you for sharing the moment with us. ๐
There is nothing like the knowledge that your SO is there, not fully comprehending the emotional/mental confusion but still supportive and understanding, especially even when you are feeling under the weather and confused.
Small gestures are truly wonderful.
It warms me to read this, and how it reminds me of the immeasurable amounts of small things my SO has done for me.

Posted by starloverI have no idea. I made it a point to not research, ahaha. He was born on December 22nd, so he's a sag/cap hybrid, I suppose. *^___^*
Awwwww Lil
What is your bf's chart like?





Posted by LillyPetalMakes so much sense ๐ Pisces placement makes one a bit artsy ๐
You're welcome, my friend. *^___^*
I'm an Aries sun and Pisces moon.



Posted by stillwaterspmtIt was the end of semester at college. I work on campus at the library and I was Editor-in-Chief of the college paper. I was having a bad day and was feeling jaded coming off my newspaper staff meeting. I decided to stop by the campus student lounge to unwind for a bit before heading home. I was in leggings, beat up boots, and my green Gir Invader Zim hoodie. I had the hood up, so the ears were flopping around. As I entered the door, he looked up at me from where he was sitting. He looked at me intensely and smiled. I was honestly caught off guard because his eyes could have boiled my molecules. I smiled and looked away. I went to a table and began to resume my Introvert Position of placing things on the chairs closest to me to keep people from sitting there and engaging me. Just as I was about to block the last chair, he was there, pulling it out to sit. "Hey, your hoodie is Gir, right?" I was suprised, at both his bold interruption and his disruption of my setting up my defenses, and his rare knowledge of Gir. "Yes. Invader Zim..." I couldn't help but smile. He smiled back. "Yes, yes...I love that sh it." His manner of speaking struck me as odd. His demanor struck me as odd. His clothes struck me as odd. I liked it a lot. He was wearing an old, brown, leather long jacket with a patch that he sowed on the back. The patch was a black-ink depiction of a Muslim girl wearing the Palestinain scarf; it captioned: "Resistence isn't terrorism."
Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing! Your post gave me a little hope.
I find similarities in lot of what you wrote about yourself. How did you guys meet? I often feel my introspective/protective nature may hinder me from ever having such a wonderful soul match.


Posted by babygurlAlthough the idea of being on TV in that way is enough to make both of us run, hahahaha, I appreciate your words and well-wishes. Thank you. *^___^* รฐลธลยท
That was so romantic!
I really hope things continue to go smooth and loving for the both of you.
I'm picturing the two of you getting married in the future and you retelling this story to your children!
It's perfect and beautiful!
[I hope one day to see you two on house hunters buying a house together for you and your little one.
I know I wouldn't even know if it's that you both, if I saw you but it's just something so romantic that a couple can go searching and letting us witness the home they might decide for their family]
I'm such a dreamer sometimes!!
Continue with your happiness and love Op!! Your story was so touching and beautiful!

Posted by WestsidekodakWe've discussed things, so I have a bit of an idea of his past and he, mine. If anything, I wanted BF to know about Virgo since he was my first and only love before I met him. But it's not really a concern to either of us. Sometimes things come up and we may relate it to something in the past (like if we are watching a movie and there is a familiar scenario or if either of us reads something and has a question to hear the other's perspective.) When things do come up, it's in a conversational context, not in a heavy spotlight "this is The Talk" manner.Posted by LillyPetalHave you guys ever brought up the things about the past... like the scorpio guy?
You're welcome, my friend. *^___^*

Posted by WestsidekodakHahaha, I'm not sure I get the flight metaphor, but I'll take it. How is life on the west coast? How is your passion? Still putting in the scheduled hours to build your dreams, I hope?Posted by LillyPetalHmmm....

After talking about things, they seem so inconsequential that we don't focus a lot of mental energy or emotion on the past. It has nothing to do with Us. They are mere anecdotes that serve to further our understanding and appreciation of one another. I find that I tend to be more curious (read: nosy) about his past than he is mine. But even then, it's at a minimum from me.click to expand

Posted by WestsidekodakThat's very sweet and thoughtful. Much love from the East Coast < 3 I'm happy to hear things are still going well between you two. You both deserve that and more.Posted by LillyPetalNo idea but my girlfriend sent me a care package for valentines day with a stuffed grumpy cat teddy bear LOL Looks like this cat too
By the way, is that the cat from "cat eats bunny with pancakes"? His expression is priceless. I love cats so much.click to expand

Ha, you already knew I was a crazy man driven to chase my freedom. God bless you Lils, I'm glad to see you found that ole elusive piece of the puzzle of life. =)

I used to be solitary - preferring to keep to myself. I guarded my bubble and I was happily miserable that way. Time spent with people only served to make me feel lonely as I could not relate nor connect with them. I will be the first to say that I may be socially "retarded." A mix of introversion and extroversion, people seem to love being around me without noticing the pain it causes me to engage them. I go into an auto-pilot of charm - the kind that makes people say: "She is such the charismatic social butterfly!" All the while unaware that my wings come with seams and I've artificially attached them because society demands you fly or be left behind.
I appreciate space. I value it. I've always been one to grant people space, more than they needed. When my BF told me he sometimes needs to unplug, I could not have been more relieved: "Finally! Someone who values solidarity!"
We have been spending much time together. So much so that his mother assumed I was at their house the day before last and offered us dinner. "Lily isn't here, mom." "Why not?" His mother is a sweetheart. I texted him yesterday after class: "Is my boyfriend still on campus?" He responded, "Nope." He was at home doing homework. "I miss you. But I honestly like it this way." "You like doing homework or you like missing me?" "I like looking forward to seeing you."
Everything went deaf inside me. I stared at his text. My mind was blank. I felt nothing. But I couldn't say nothing. Several minutes later I responded, "Sounds good; I'll leave you to focus on your studies." "Hey," he responded not a moment later. "I love you."
I stared at the text, still feeling nothing. The kind of quiet that accompanies an electrical blackout. Moments pass, "And I love you."
Today, and I still haven't sorted my feelings or thoughts. I feel as though I cannot even begin to grasp them. They haven't even manifested - I just think my thoughts may be there. Why. He hasn't done anything or said anything wrong. He hasn't said anything unexpected. In fact, had I not once suggested we take some time to do our own thing so as not to unconsciously revolve our daily schedules around each other?
This weather has me in an odd mood. Perhaps I need space to sort my sh it out. A lot has happened since I first met him in December. So much that belies the calendar days - too much for our units of time to hold or quantify. I didn't go to campus today, missing both my Honors psychology and Honors speech classes. I will vacuum the house and dust. I will listen to music. I watched 'Diary of a Teenage Girl.' It's inspired me to do some drawing.
...wait. I left my art things at my boyfriend's house.
