Hello
I've just been reading in chat, things you'd like to say but can't. There are so many going thro things right now, so many alone or overwhelmed and no one is close to them, knows the truth or can be relied upon.
I thought, let's have one about who is there for us currently.
Mine is my new boyfriend. I'll précis. I met gimme on tinder, accidental right swipe as too young I thought, six years. But when I went to delete, I looked at his lovely many physique and thought, if he were to ask me out, I'd love to go....
A year later, I've moved area, gone part time, rented my flat out, started a new life and am navigating new friends in a new town which is much smaller.
He has turned out to be, in no particular order, someone I just feel comfortable having around, someone who has done more practical tasks for me around my flat rental than have ever been done, me being an independent woman. He is kind, so gentle, loving, such a good listener. When I am upset he stands there and let's me rant, he hugs me, holds me when I cry, gets into the small print, gives opinion only ever when asked.
I didn't always have but now do have a nice number of good female friends, but I've never had support like this and I am incredibly grateful for having swiped accidentally right on tinder. It's nice not to be alone and to like the person so much.
Merry Christmas as well xxx
