21 days in

 It's been wintery here for so long, and my days off have been unfailingly bad weather. I need a beach day.  I need sun, warmth and ocean. 

H needed a place to stay so he reached out last week, and has been staying with me. We haven't talked. I can see him talking to someone else via text message- so I know he's no longer interested in me. Just needed a safe space to crash. It was awkward at first, sharing a bed with the memories of touching.  But, it's better now.  He did one off f me the other day. Started with him just massaging my feet, and then more and more until a happy ending was reached for us both. I will always crave him. His touch. His laughter.  But it's not mine anymore. That is obvious.  He leaves on Thursday for California, and I'm not sure if I will ever see him again. 

I think I'm going to try to move when my lease comes up. To a smaller town where I can more easily build community. I thought being here would be good, but it's been more lonesome than I anticipated.  Especially with H no longer in my life. 

What a year of loss this has been. 

Eve is gone. 

Christy is gone.

Heath is gone. 

The other guys who were marginally interested have disappeared. 

Love is obviously not meant for this life and I know I keep fighting for it, but the sooner I grasp it the better off I'll be, I know. 

Going home on Friday, and I need it desperately.

Goodbye 2024

 I told him goodbye in the last hours of the year. End of the year, end of us. 

It probably felt to a degree out of left field to him, but I've been at my last straw with him for so long now, and with the new year upon us I had to make it official. 

But I'm dying inside. 

I said goodbye to the one I love most in the world. 

There's a panic, a despair, and a grief that threatens to swallow me whole. I know it was the right decision, but my god, it's the worst thing I've ever done. 


There is someone who wants to take his place in my heart and life. We'll see if anything comes from that.
