UpInLights Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 So I posted here once before about me and this lad Iām sitting in my garden in isolation, and I read it back for the first time since I wrote it! I realised how great of an outlet this forum was when I need it to be, especially for someone like me whoās never been that great at laying their feelings on the table irl! I also realised that I wanted to give it a proper conclusion! Ā Me and bf had a holiday booked this week. We should have been flying out toĀ Paris Friday evening,Ā eating lots of bread and cheese today, drinking great wine and day tripping to Disney....instead, like everyone else, weāre basically in lockdown.. meaning I canāt work at all which is pretty dull and heās trying to teach high school students on Zoom (not sure whoās got the toughest end of that stick) šš I went out yesterday (to the supermarket - about as exciting as it gets) and then to visit my mum at her nursing home. I canāt go in and see her but they let you wave through the window and I wanted to do that because I donāt know when Iāll be able to go again, or see her again, and Iām worried about her! I got home, walked in, and Iām greeted by bfĀ in the lounge, down on one knee,Ā and around him heād made out of cardboard boxes and paint these huge like 4 ft replicas of the Eiffel tower, The Louvre &Ā Notre-Dame!! They were so amazing (and Iād wondered why he hadnāt been coming to bed at the same time as me for the last week š) I honestly didnāt have a clue, not a scooby!!Ā He was like ā[my full name]Ā you are such a painā which made me laugh ābut I love you so much that itās ridiculous, and I promise you forever that I would move mountains for us.. or in this case, buildings. Will you have me for the rest of lives?ā. Itās not overly mushy, but for me he couldnāt have said anything more genuinely perfect! š„° He said to me in bed later, āyouāll tell me if your freaking out right? Because Iām not saying that we need to get married tomorrow, I just want you to know that I know what I want for the rest of my lifeā. I told him that Iām not freaking out, and I know what I want too - and I knew when I said it that both those things were the gods honest truth! Ā And now Iām sunbathing in the garden, watching him dig up ground for a fire pit, and Iām just thinking that....I literally have no idea how I ever got so lucky! Heās enough to make me wonder if I should believe in fate! ...Maybe the best things inĀ life really do find you when you arenāt looking for them. Anyway, Iām taking too much but.. the worlds a pretty scary place at the moment, so this is my cheery little post āš¼ 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
