And I've never done this in a sort of verbal, like, sort of exemporaneous way. So I'm doing it here now. It's an experiment to play with the language of why someone would love somebody else. Particularly for me, I wanted to share why I love women and why I've loved women my whole life since I was very, very young. And being gay, for me has been such an amazing journey of self discovery but also of discovering others

And I do sometimes get so annoyed with all of the different conversations that are had because in the end, everyone is going to define love differently based on their experiences, based on just historically what has happened to them, people that they've encountered, good, bad or indifferent. It really shapes you into the person you become and how you give it and how you receive it

Oh, my gosh. Love ladyo. I love your username, by the way. Thank you so much for reflecting so beautifully and then expanding it into your perspective, your world, your lush love nest that you bring us into every time you do us. Well, thank you so much. And everything you said, I just want to just dot with some sparkles. It's wonderful. Thank you

With men, we know that there are boundaries to their emotional intelligence and their level of emotionality. So it's difficult to I wouldn't say give 100%, but I would say it's difficult to really allow yourself to be free. And to me, that's what being with a woman was like. It was freeing. I could literally love and adore and cherish this person because they were able to give that same love back. But the devastating part is when it ends

So I'm just sending you a huge hug over there. You're so far away, and although we've never met, I feel like I absolutely have gotten to know you here on Swell, and I value every time you contribute. It's so meaningful to me. So sending you lots of love and gratitude for what you just shared. Shared. Happy Birthday
