Since we lived together from the last week of May 2021 until mid-week of February 2022. We were only okay for four or five months. The rest were only living together for our cats.
For us, it was the longest we have stayed with a partner, living under one roof without serious and romantic commitments. We agreed to help and support each other with some common goals. We were excited and I think we enjoyed our companionship.
My partner, at first, was very thoughtful and takes care of me. He mentored me as he could during his busy moments. He provided me with the necessities and asked me what I want from online shopping websites when he was about to purchase something. I mentioned in the first post that he is into organic and toxic-free stuff, so he will only purchase things that are safe for human consumption. If I want something that has toxicity in there, he will take time to look for a better and safe alternative for it. Until he found a similar item and purchase it.
He’s caring and will cook for both of us. But expect that the food he’s making is bland in taste, with no salt, no seasoning but only unsalted butter (Anchor – his trusted butter in the Philippines). Usually, we consume, beef and fish as our main dish. No rice for him or anything that is starchy carbs, but only Manuka honey, and some organic eggs. I was the one who goes to the Public Market to buy freshly slaughtered beef and organs. For the fish, we only get the fresh, wild-caught, and colored ones, because these are mercury-free and less toxic. He usually does slow cooking on a salt block, then the fish is covered with banana leaf that takes more than an hour or 3 hours to cook. The other way is in cast iron and with the use of unsalted butter then sautee or soak the fish or beef.
I couldn’t ask for more about my partner, unfortunately, things didn’t work out the way I was hoping.
We could have been the best team and experience together. I think we did. It was such a dream I was living with him.
The environment we were in, was beachside (nearby a fish port), away from the crowd, and most of the time just me and him (sometimes other locals who were bringing us freshly caught fish). Most of the time, we have the silence we wanted and no toxicity of the city (frequencies, radiation, pollution, and poisonous food/water).
We sleep on the grass with the felt/wool blanket in a DIY tent made of bamboo that is built on the cliff of the rock and beneath is the sea that makes a wavy noise. The sea breeze softly blew on us like it touches our dear being. The bluish shades scenery you can see when the day is fine and sunny can make you feel cozy. The silence that covered us entirely can make you realize that we were the only ones in this place. You can also hear the singing birds that can make you think you are in a wild forest.
For me, that was the ideal life I was craving. I felt great those times. I truly enjoyed and didn’t bother about the people who are important to me (family and friends).
These moments were provided by the person whom I eventually trusted and got fond of.
Yes, I liked him as he is. To be honest, he has physical flaws and some behaviors as well, but that for me was tolerated. I have this thing that, if I like the person, I can also tolerate some things about him. I understood where these behaviors are coming from. Until it consumes me and drove me insane.
I thought I was mature enough to handle such events and behaviors. I am the one to blame for not being more communicative because he’s always busy and I didn’t want to bother him about his important things. I overlooked the situation where it put me no logical reactions and ruined our relationship as working partners.
When I wanted to mend things, he didn’t want to work on them anymore. He said in his printed response, “there is no turning back”. I just finally realized that those are thoughts of evil. God gives chances.
The narrative of my experience started from a wonderful scenario to the worst ending.
Things happen for a reason, not just for a reason but also a change.
We are not communicating any more, but the experience I got from the mentorship, stays with me and I will influence like-minded or curious individuals along my new path.
