Feeling lost and in love, tell us your reasons.

We have many comments about being in love with someone but unable to achieve what we desire for many reasons.
Love is a beautiful word that can be expressed by just a small smile, a floating kiss or even a simple message that only has a word or two, such as I cherish you, I want you to be by my side or more adoring words, sometimes we are too afraid to show our love and causes problems that we were not expecting.
Why do we show our pets more love than we do with our partner/spouse?
All thoughts are welcome, both good and those that truly upset us.
Take care.
Geoff.

Just on the letter situation, if l'm feeling things correctly l'm pretty sure she is still at that address and got it. But l don't think now l will hear from her anytime soon. l think she's tired and all with the water under the bridge for now she's just gonna let things lie.
l'm kind of relieved though bc as it turned out in the meantime since with everything else going on, it'd be too much hearing from her after all this time right now. l'm glad she;ll know now though what l've wanted her to know all these yrs and will hopefully understand.

Hello RX, there could be a chance she has moved on and if so the letter will be returned back to you, with your address on the back of the letter, then you'll know you have tried.
If at all she wanted you to know her new address she would have told you, perhaps 'it's time to let sleeping dogs lie' as they say.
Best wishes.
Geoff.

Hi Geoff , and thanks as always for the thoughts.
Your right and l could be totally wrong , maybe she's moved and hasn't even got it in the first place. lf it is returned it'll be due to back here any day now l'd say so on that one we'll see l suppose.
But yeah , which ever way it went l agree and it is time l feel that now too.

Hello RX, there's a song sung by Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra, Elvis and many others, it might bring a tear to your eye but it's a beautiful song 'The Impossible Dream', I love listening to it and hope it doesn't make you too upset.
My best thoughts.
Geoff.

Hi Geoff . Sounds like a beautiful song with that title.
Hi jt , you sound like your making great progress , don't forget to give yourself some credit eh.
My letter situation , it's been such a crazy full on few mths for me l lost track so l've just read back a bit here. lt's only actually 3 -4 wks max since l sent it l thought it was a lot longer than that. lt takes 10 days ea way alone just to get there and back even if there is gonna be a reply or it's returned. And she'd need at least a few wks, maybe mths, after these yrs to think about it so l'm afraid l'm back to feeling a touch jumpy again , she could still very easily reply or pop up at some time yet, it could even be mths away.

Hello RX, you don't know what's going to happen and if you predict what might happen, then you are only going to worry more, if a reply happens then so be it, but hoping and wishing isn't going to make you feel more at ease, and if you can carry on as usual, then may be a reply will come.
The more you hope and the more you wish are only going to create problems for you, let it go, then you might get one back, it's just like hoping to win tattslotto, the more you wish the less chance you have.
Take care, my friend.

Thanks for that Geoff.
But nah you misunderstand sorry.
lt's not hoping and wishing , l don't hope and wish , that's nothing to do with why l was a bit stressed. Actually l don't really care if l hear back of not at this stage as far as we go. lt's too long for me now , too many things have happened , and with covid and the way Australias acting , she couldn't even get into the damn country even if we did decide for another 12 mths yet - so even on that one angle , too much has happened. But then there's my situation with my gf now , which is no where near settled and won't be at least 6mths yet.
So nope , def no hoping and wishing. What it is though as l said in another post , is the stress of it if l did happen to hear from her. That's why l'm on edge.
Bc if l do hear from her it will be very heavy and vert emotional , and l really just do not need more of that right now.

Hi Geoff and ahh no worries
lt's not easy to explain our feelings on paper and l've probably confused all that at different times too. Feelings also bounce around a lot, more confusion .
Hope your having a nice wkend , all the best

Hey rx
No matter what happens with the possible response from your letter, you're going to be OK. Just know that.
What you're going through with GF atm and now this other stuff too, is pretty anxiety provoking.
I hope you can find things to do that GROUND you.
Papa Brush Turkey UPDATE lol... these dedicated prospective fathers have scraped SO much of my back yard down to their nests that I'm now finding RELICS from long ago - before OUR time - in my garden! lol little archaeologists that they are.
Grounding.
My lost in love sitch is that I can barely stand to speak with my Fiancee atm.
I think I'll scream if I have to hear about such TRIVIAL stuff that changes nothing for anyone for one second longer.
Being an American he doesn't get anything I say. Keeps telling me to "go get" this or that from way outside my 5km and I'm not leaving home for ANY reasons other than vitally necessary pffft.
I hate repeating for the last over 2 months....."because we're in LOCK DOWN".
I'm just getting angry with him after our calls.
Not worth it for my own MH atm.
I need a break from talking with him and disappear into my wonderland garden.
My whole family are now in quarantine after one child worked at a place where a diagnosed case visited for 20 mins that day.
He wants to "be with me" & "hold my hand" during this time but I can't.
He's just way too removed and has no possible understanding of what we're going through here, no matter how detailed I explain things AND no matter how many sirens or helicopters he hears - in fact he's laughed when he hears them.
I find this reaction insulting tbh.
Yet another divide in an already massive divide in this LDR.
