That is so sweet. I think so many people in the world, no matter what their age or sex are longing for exactly what you would give - someone who cares to put their arms around them to comfort and soothe them and make everything OK (at least for a little while). Life would be so much more pleasant and easier if we did this for each other more often. The world would be a much more peaceful place too, I think, if everyone experienced this throughout their lives starting from babyhood.
You're right about expressing emotions too. People should be allowed to feel their emotions and not be told to toughen up and bury them. For a long time I felt as if there was something really wrong with me because I was "too emotional" and couldn't control it, but finally came to realize that some people are just born that way. Like many others, Morrissey and his music helped me to not be ashamed of feeling things deeply and being emotional. He has sometimes called it being "open-hearted" (I think) and I love him for that.
Will we get in trouble for not talking about food on this thread? I'll fix that - I'm about to make myself the best sandwich in the world for dinner - peanut butter and boysenberry jam with potato chips stuffed in it... and a glass of wine.
For dinner I'm going to have pasta (radiatori
) with broccoli.
I will have some garlic (in pieces but not too small) in olive oil and to make it a bit more hot some pieces of red pepper and put it on the gas. Don't be afraid to burn it a little bit. Not too much off course. It creates that special taste that is, well just different.
When the broccoli is cooked and soft I mash it up with a fork. Don't throw the cooked water away. Keep a bit apart to add later if the dinner is too dry.
Same with the pasta if it's ready. For cooking the pasta don't use too little salt.
Put the garlic, the olive oil and the pepperoni in the pan with the pasta.
Use a spoon to put through the pasta. The radiatori have all these ribs and the mashed up broccoli gets between them. Have some Italian bread out of the oven with it. Sometimes I can get the bread with pieces of olive in it.
Put some good olive oil and seasalt on it, and off course, very important,
have a glass of Italian wine with it. (Or two
) like a Sangiovese, a Primitivo, a Valpolicello. The food and the wine both taste better with each other.
I like your post.
You said you think you are too emotional, but the thing is we, me too, are always comparing ourselves with other people, but we don't know for sure how somebody else really feels because you can't feel what the other feels. We can try to be emphatic.
Mind you, there are also very positive sides to have strong feelings and emotions.
A sensitive soul and mind can experience things that are out of reach for others.
You seem to be able to enjoy very simple things of life, like having a good meal and making that meal for yourself. Like the French say "Savoir Vivre".
Nice chatting with you!
