Flaco Joe 2: The Magnificent Return
"I think a person can fall in love millions of times through life in different stages, and I don't deny any of them. Each one of them had merit, some more than others (I see you, Flaco...)." -Me, December 2017 It was a Sunday morning. I woke up warm and entangled, my head on his chest, with bands of tattoos wrapped around me and lips in my hair. The second I opened my eyes and looked up, the world as I knew it was turned completely upside down. Those few minutes are now forever burned into my brain, and things haven't been the same since. For nearly 14 years, I've been lucky enough to have this beautiful man weaved into the fabric of my life. I've taken his presence for granted, keeping my distance to protect myself, and I kick myself for that now. Just looking back on the half dozen posts on this blog that pertain to him make me smile and sad at the same time. I smile because I'm reminded how amazing he was even then..
