Company

We’ve had company for the last week, which is always a challenge for me. You see, my wife and I are private people. One might even go so far as to call us antisocial. Is this good for my mental health issues? Not always, and it’s definitely related to them. But given the choice between spending the evening with a group of friends (even somewhat “close” friends) or curled up on the couch with my wife watching a movie, the quiet night pretty much always wins out. But a good online friend of ours has been going through some hard times, and feeling really alone, so we invited her here for a week (we had previously verified that she wasn’t an axe murderer, so no worries there).

One up side of this, was the nights. Our bedroom is our sanctuary. The place we can talk about, well, anything. Where we can cuddle and I can tell her about feeling anxious, or needing a spanking, or anything. Where we can talk about our dreams and hopes and fears.

I guess there isn’t a huge point to this post. I wanted to update people on what’s going on around here, and I wanted to share what I’m feeling. After a week of little time alone with my wife, I am enjoying the place to ourselves this evening, and marveling at the fact that after years of waiting, I have a safe place, a home to call my own, and in which I can FEEL at home.

Life isn’t always easy. But it is GOOD.
