This made me lol. Your self-awareness is refreshing. There are parts of me that still won’t act for fear of how it will affect the other person, but she’s melting fast and this is a huge encouragement 💪🏽

JC sounds like a true pal—and maybe that was the point.

love the fight centered around the coloring book... a little reminder that we are all big kids.

Oh I love that you loved that. It’s like sometimes the biggest conversations happen in the smallest moments. I love this about life.

I hope people catch on to how delightful and funny and kind, JC is. Will he be a passionate, madly in love guy? I dunno. Do you need more than he is willing to give especially time wise? Yes. But I know even as a mother in law that if anyone in our family needed anything, JC would be there. Hell, JC's dad would be there. There is a genuine, true, honesty that's hard to find in this world, you and JC have that in common.

This is just on snapshot of a much bigger story. People will think what they want but I would never spend so much time writing about anyone if I didn’t love them with all my heart. ❤️

I know you do - I Love you Baby!

I relate to this a lot in that I could have continued to cohabitate with my ex as roommates. I also wasn’t eager to make the divorce real. He is a solid, intelligent guy that makes me laugh like nobody’s business. We just didn’t fit romantically in the long run.

JC is my favorite and always will be. ❤️ It’s funny how some people don’t understand how you can love in so many ways, but still not be the way that maintains a relationship. Thanks for reading and being here, Melanie.

Love you!

Melanie's avatar

Completely agree. It seems simple in my brain. Love you Xoxo

Can I live with JC if you move out? I like the sound of this Ninja coffee machine.

p.s. I really hope things work out for you Candy. I am weirdly fond of you X

JC is actually the best roommate ever! He’s so fun, you’re gonna love it here! 😍

I get so much pleasure from throwing things away!! I have to move out of my place, different circumstances and no one to punch

Are you moving out?

Candy Downs's avatar

You have a couch, yes?

See comment on one of your notes.

I have a couch, too and it's probably the perfect size for you to sleep on.

Bonus: The Love Sausage will periodically insist on ear scritches and cuddles.
