So many bits and pieces of wisdom, and realism, and not hiding the truth - brilliant!!
PS: Loved the Atlas reference, because I know what it means.
Nicely done, tim.
Mike, you didn't have to tell us any of this, but it shows just how far you will go to be the best for yourself and, especially, for tim. Lots of guts and courage in these words.
Thank you.
to you both.
But i know that you’re going to say
There is no debt but love, for you to pay
****
Because, it's true. It's good that you recognize that fact. Course, Kitt's right about hugs.
Love you lots. There will never be a qualifier on that.
@William King
I don't see this as coercion or manipulation. If one is sure that they have met the person that completes them, isn't it a natural thing to pursue that person? In the end, you may be wrong, but there's nothing wrong with having a plan and giving it your all.
Thank you for sharing - and explaining - this snippet of who and what you and tim are, Mike.
A very strong start, tim. Looking forward to more of Louis and Donny.
One final word, I really like that in the end, Louis did not listen to the doctor and "lie" to Donny. Being honest with each other is what's going to get them through this. Even if there are bumps, bruises, grouses and loud voices along the way.
Unless, the individual is a complete narcissist, I think everyone has doubts about their value in their own eyes.
You have doubts, and that shows that you are human, tim. We are not perfect, not a one of us, that we can accept that imperfection and extend our hands in friendship is what makes us good. Warts and all.
What Lyssa and Moggy said.
You are important, tim, and should be admired and emulated for the compassionate wisdom you carry in your heart and in your mind. Never, ever forget that or listen to the doubters.
As always, nicely done.
Watching a D/s relationship evolve if one can describe it that way, is very interesting and intriguing. I can't say that I know much about how this relationship comes about and is realized, but your words, Mac, bring it to life in a very believable way.
Nicely done.
