Anyone who has followed my blog over the past twenty three years knows I tend to feel things in the extreme. If you don't live with me that might seem charming, but for most people it is way too intense.
As a teenager I wanted to be intense, passionate, dramatic! Over the years I have tried to tone that down for so many reasons. First of all for those who do not feel that way it seems fake or put on. Secondly, it can be exhausting to live like that and even dangerous. It makes me vulnerable to unscrupulous people, so I've had to develop a skeptical side that is a little bit ugly in order to survive.
Now, after all these years I have found a kindred spirit. Another soul who is willing to be vulnerable enough to really know me. A person who understands my need to embrace my feelings and have mine embraced too. Being understood is a rare gift and a heady one.
When two people can come together, drop their egos, destroy all the walls and barriers, and pretense, they open themselves to a relationship that is beyond comprehension for most people. Actually I think it is an impossibility for most people, because it requires the faith, courage, and willingness to lose everything for something they have never even dreamed of before.
But if it does happen?
Nothing in this world can compare.
