Training has always been hard. But today is the exception - It is harder. And I know I
am not the only one that feels it. That palpable tension gripping the air and
swimming in between our bodies. We stuck to our separate corners, too aware of the
consequences if we ended up too close… again. I want to yell and scream. I want to
damn the rules and damn them all to hell. Having tasted my freedom, having had my
heart sing to a new exciting tune, it's all I can think about. I no longer want to be
strangers with this man, he has shown me exactly how my life could be. How those
dreams and visions I buried deep within my soul as a child could be a possibility. And
as much as that scares me - it also breathes endless air into my dusty lungs. I want to
wipe away the cobwebs of my treacherous past, change the narrative of my now and
start to look forward to my future. Something I hardly thought was possible. Not
until yesterday, when this beautiful man stepped into my life and wished me a Happy
Birthday. When that bond snapped into place and we realised just how much trouble
we were in. Because how could two strangers ever hope to find love in the darkest of
times?
