Your question about "lightness" has stayed with me.
I've been thinking about it.
I love life and embrace each day with great joy. Even though there are many constraints, I have chosen them myself and decided to accept them again and again.
To me, life is not a burden; in a sense, I live it with lightness.
I don't believe in attaching importance to material things, but rather to love: love for our children and love for you ❤️. Living a life of love with you is sometimes associated with apparent heaviness. It makes us vulnerable and can be painful at times. But at the same time, it gives my life meaning that nothing else could.
I don't strive for the greatest possible ease in life. I live a meaningful life and enjoy the ease and the heaviness.
Ease is letting go and accepting transience.
I don't have your ring yet, but I have your name under my skin.
I remember how quickly we got used to being together when we spent a long time together in places like Ouddorp or at my apartment, and how painful it was to get used to being apart again.
In the bathroom, I was just thinking about how I'm coming back from Antwerp on Sunday, and how life will just go on from there. There won't be any goodbyes on Sunday evening or being separated on Monday, etc., but rather, our home, our life together, and our children will simply continue. It's an indescribably wonderful feeling.
We are currently experiencing how wonderful our everyday life together is. The things that annoy others or stress relationships only make ours stronger. I can hardly wait to have your kids here, too—to experience even more of our everyday life, with school and all the hustle and bustle that comes with it.
You are the greatest gift in the universe.
Thank you for the beautiful song, my darling. I'm listening to it at work and thinking of you all the time. Have a good evening!
Sometimes, rarely, I catch myself thinking that I'm weak when I can barely last a few days without you, or when I think that with you, I'm invincible—and conversely, without you, I'm not.
But that's not true. Being able to love like that requires self-love, the courage to open up fully and be absolutely vulnerable, commitment, and the willingness and ability to forgive, let the other person be who they are, and love them for it.
All in all, it requires so much that many people don't have or want. We have it, and that makes us very strong. This strength, sparkle, and love are simply tremendously attractive. 👩🏻❤️👨🏻
I love you, Sarah. ❤️
The love of my life 💗
Happy one year anniversary 😘 It's actually only 6pm, but let's not be so petty 😉
I love you with all my heart 💞 and I thank you for this incredible year 👩🏻❤️👨🏻 Who would have thought it when we first met for coffee 🤯 Sometimes I still can't believe I'm floating through life by your side 🥰
I'm really looking forward to holding you in my arms tomorrow, meeting you the day after, flirting with you and lying naked next to you for the rest of the weekend. And then, yes, then our second year together will begin 😍 I'm freaking out at the thought 🙏🏻😱
Tomorrow we'll drink to each other 🥂
Sleep well my darling, you're the most wonderful woman, my dream woman 😘
I've been on cloud nine for 11 months, Sarah.
You are a wonderful person, simply beautiful in every way and a very exciting woman to boot. And I will tell you this again and again, even if it is repetitive.
Meeting you was an incredible stroke of luck in my life. Thank you for everything, for being there, for being who you are, for loving me in such a wonderful way. I would have the most distant long-distance relationship with you, but I'm also glad we don't have to.
I don't know what could be any better in our relationship.
I love you with all my heart.
A thousand kisses, my dear, dear friend.
Everyday
We make a meal out of love
that feeds us and our beloved ones
We taste life like never before
so that we beat finiteness by lengths
We radiate frequency of passion
so that we infect others with ease
And until some day is our last day
I will love you everyday
Hello my darling ❤️
It's Friday lunchtime and the sun is shining on the trees at the back of the garden. From my kitchen window I can see them slowly but surely turning into beautiful autumn colours. A light breeze is blowing through the flat, from the window in the living room, through the kitchen and out the window again. A playlist automatically generated by Spotify called "pumpkin spice" is playing. Surprisingly, it fits the mood perfectly. The work is done, the flat is tidy, the fridge is full. It's a good opportunity to get back to writing. I've missed it a bit over the last few weeks and months, but there's just been a lot of great action out there.
If we met on Tinder at the end of October or the beginning of November, it's now the anniversary of the last days and weeks I lived without a woman by my side. At the time, I had only really arrived in my own apartment and had done a lot of reading, thinking and writing. Among other things, I talked about my values and goals in life, and soon I felt attracted to you, or you to me, certainly both.
We've been together for almost 11 months now and I feel better about life than ever before. A lot has changed in all areas of my life, in me. I couldn't be more grateful to you and the universe.
In 10 years' time, all our children will be out of the house and I will be approaching 58. This is the beginning of the last third of my life, if all goes well. But it also means that NOW is such an important time, the most important time.
I feel alive, vibrant, hopeful and courageous. I feel more intensely than ever. I live like never before. And I love like never before. ❤️

Hello my dear Sarah,
I have never felt better in my life.
I am healing. I am growing. I am loving. I am alive.
In my relationship with you and through our love, I have (re)discovered a little more of myself and travelled a little further towards myself. And I love it. I now understand the connection between body and mind through resolved traumas and I can feel it: the inner wisdom. Everything in my life is changing.
Thank you, baby.

My dearest Sarah,
It's raining dogs outside and I'm imagining us cuddled up in a warm, cosy bed, listening to the pitter-patter. We are kissing tenderly and talking softly about everything that comes to mind. We are one and time doesn't matter. We suppress hunger and thirst until we feel nauseous and surrender to the everyday. We have found what we have been searching for so long. And I can hardly wait to hold you in my arms again.
❤️
#loveletter #diary #loveofmylife
It's such a shame to wake up and realise you're not there. The full moon is shining now and we could have hugged each other so beautifully under it.
But we'll do it again tomorrow!
I love you so much, Sarah!

Good morning my soul,
at the end of last year our paths crossed in an incredible way. This year we have begun our journey together. A journey that on the one hand brings us closer to ourselves. On the other hand, a journey in which we can experience unconditional love, both in giving and in receiving.
Experiencing your closeness and love allows me to tick off the last big item on my bucket list: experiencing true love. An experience I can talk about later (hopefully much later) on my deathbed, eyes shining.
Sarah, one love, one heart.
I hope our journey together will never end.
For me you were a big missing piece of the puzzle to see the picture of life clearly. I had hoped to receive this gift because I fear very few people get to see this beauty.
I love you.
#loveletter #diary #liveofmylife #sarah
Dearest Sarah,
The days we spend together show me what a wonderful person you are. A loving mother, a loud laughing and gentle soul, an exciting and hot woman. I feel my feelings for you and my desire to be close to you.
But even days like today, when we have almost no contact, show me another deep side: "I want to spend my life with this woman". I feel this suddenly several times throughout the day and I know it comes from a place of deep wisdom.
I love you and I can't wait to hold you in my arms again tomorrow after 4 days. ❤️

My strong lioness,
Do you know what I think is a beautiful thought?
The love letters I write to you on #nostr will be preserved forever. It is a protocol that runs decentrally on a growing number of relays around the world. It cannot be erased, not even by me. Decentralised money (#Bitcoin) and decentralised information (#nostr) are counter-movements that have come to stay and set us free. Just like our love for one another ❤️
#loveletter #diary #loveofmylife
My beautiful Sarah,
You are currently living on an exciting prairie, with many lurking challenges to overcome. You are a lioness, caring for your pride with love and protecting them from suffering.
I admire you for your strength, calm and confidence. Your exciting brown eyes see me as I am and you nestle closer to my soul than anyone before.
You have wandered the vastness of the world, had adventures and now we have found each other. Our love grows a little more every day, as if it wants to embrace the whole world.
