Last night, I went to a going-away party for my friend Kenyon. The e-vite said 10pm - I didn't head into the bathroom until 9:45. And I luxuriated, too, like I didn't really have anywhere to go ... giving myself a fierce pedicure to rock these sandals like they're supposed to be rocked and shaving my mug. I don't shave often, so I figured I'd take this opportunity to turn my camera on myself. *grin!*
And instead of being lazy and just throwing some pictures up on here without writing anything, I'll blog a little bit about what's going with me right now ... before I get back to work.
I'm loving. Yes, I've professed my love for this man. (Notice that I'm still in New York - and not in Brasil.) I still feel a little funny about putting myself out there like that, but mostly I feel relieved. I felt like saying it, so I said it. Now I don't have to duck and dodge around the word love. And the "I love you!" that I say today hopefully is just the beginning - and not the same "I love you!" that I say a year from now. Who knows what the future brings. I think me and this man can work it out.
But I won't be blogging too much about us. He's really quite uncomfortable with the level of intimacy I share in this space. So I thought about it and I'm compromising. Besides, I want to keep a private journal in addition to my blog. There's a lot of stuff I need to write for my eyes only.
Funny ... I ran into an ex of mine from about 10 years ago at West 4th on the way home last night. I remembered just wanting someone to love me and not knowing enough about myself to even begin to know what that meant. I'm still only beginning to know ...
Congrats Donald!
Let’s hope love is contagious!
Much happiness to you both.
You look good, Donald. You’re making the right choice on intimacy, too. Keep it up!
Looking good Papi!
Again, one day at a time. So glad for you and we need to meet up for coffee, tea, or something. Any new places in Harlem you recommend?
You know I’m feeling this post. Sometimes we just gotta take the plunge! And you know I understand not posting all your personal bidness all up in this space.
I like the clean-shaven look on you, Boo. You rockin’ it for Labor Day?
Wishing you loads of lovely love!!!
