Relationships – Page 6

~Pace~

I want to write every day, but sometimes all I am thinking of is the laundry that needs to be done, and the children who need to be fed. I am wiped out from a busy weekend of much visiting and socializing, and that takes a lot out of a mostly introverted girl, who lovesContinue reading “~Pace~”

~Flirt~

I do love flirting. I’ve got a new little online friend who says the sweetest things to me, with just a subtle undertone of more to come.

~Five Things Your Secondary Wants You To Know~

1) My time with you is limited, and valuable to me. I look forward to seeing you and I even count down the days. I like knowing that you see our time as sacred. If you indiscriminately change plans or cancel, it can make me feel disposable and well, second. Secondary doesn’t mean second place.Continue reading “~Five Things Your Secondary Wants You To Know~”
