Chère C.,
As in:
I see small lines in your face.
They are beautiful.
I had to wait an awful long time for them.
And now they are Here, I won’t let you go…
And I would cup your face in my hands.
Yes, something like this, for sure.
Warm regards, Gus

Great write but not as great as the picture of a beautiful woman.I don’t know if it’s you in the picture or not but there is something seriously attractive about her.
It’s beauty that goes deeper than skin,wisdom that goes deeper than words,scar tissue that colours the soul.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I love it, Paulo. It is such a strong, foreboding write. You don’t write fluffy bunnies stuff, you write blood and stone. I can always count on you to boost my blood pressure when I’m in a lull. Thank you for this one

I like how this moves through doubt and self-interrogation without rushing to answers. The questions feel earned, not rhetorical.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Too many close calls, I know the feeling as well. Appreciate you.

There’s a simultaneous sense of strength and uncertainty in this that drag at me. Like you know you made the right choice, but how close was it to the edge? That feeling I know all too well. If we’re not reviewing actions, we’re probably doomed to repeat them. Goes for individually as well as globally. Another layered one. Keep chasing thought, my friend. You always bring gold when you do

Love this! Skepticism is not paranoia, though gaslighters may disagree. Experience provides a roladex of patterned behaviors, and when there’s multiple red flags its no longer paranoia but an obvious truth.
