My writings... and how I've found a new life-- not in the ashes of the old life-- but in eyes and hearts of new friends, new lovers and new places.

Fantastic weekend, new friends, and new interests

I spent the weekend with new friends at a convention. I know a little, but not much about the convention's topic. So I was able to learn a lot.. and meet some really fantastic and talented people.

Overall, it was a fun weekend... great conversations.. Now I've got a list of 45 items to Google.  I'll be busy this week.

I realized how much I changed as I sat in the room.  I don't need to hide who I am any longer... I can be open and honest with my new friends.  So try something new... chat with new friends, and be open to strangers... it's a great way to learn more about yourself.... at least, that's what I did this weekend.

On a side note, I'm getting new roommates.  Time to grow again...

New Relationship Energy (NRE) comments

I stunned my boyfriend by recently saying the NRE (New Relationship Energy) is wearing off.. He seemed surprised that I was happy with the decrease in NRE.

I like it-- too much.  I can see how people keep wanting more and more.  The NRE made me giddy, and a bit careless.  I was forgetting items on my shopping list, and forgetting to buy groceries completely.  At work, I'd get lost in daydreams about my lovers.  I felt bullet proof... I could accomplish anything, and was lost in my own life.

I don't remember the NRE the last time.. it was over 20 years ago.  This is a new feeling, and quite shocking to me.. So I'm glad it has died into a warm bed of embers.  With NRE, I didn't see any flaws in my lovers.  Recently I've seen the flaws... and still love them.

So I'm glad to get my responsible, adult life back.  The sexual energy remains, and regenerates me.  The NRE is not a major distraction.  I still tingle when we touch, I still smile when I think of my couple.  But I'm glad the responsible, logical functions are back online. I'm looking forward to the growth of ORE... you know, Old Relationship Energy.
