When no one hears your silent
Career over love, you have to choose one, but both are substance
In late 2000, the tale of the Prince proceeds, Prince, an introverted guy who only likes to be alone. He is a dreadful boy who only had a few friends when he was still studying until he met a girl named Anna, she is a volunteer as a laboratory technician near at Prince school, in the General hospital and their story begins then they start to know each other
Anna, well I am looking for a serious relationship, where I can marry a man, in that case. It is not you, the type of guy that I am looking for, maybe to make it clear you can find another girl, other than me, the guy, waving with a smile, if the age gap is a matter, then I cannot do anything, realizing that Prince is remarkably at ode and every time you sent a text message. I can't refuse and those words that told me to hold on. Anna, being emotional she said four years later
once upon a time, there was a young man who travels alone searching for a Job, In the meantime, everyone is busy maybe for their commitment to their work and many things, but when you are valuable to someone else, they will always find a way to reach you for whatever reason, nothing can stop a person who knows your best, only if he does
A not long time ago the three strangers meet each other for the very first time it was at the airport in the early morning, the reason was their flight was delayed then somewhere in Malaysia, as the talk goes on the guy asking about one of those woman statuses and their work, well it is just in an advertising company, the guy seems impressed with her appearances and the way she talks
In the early at 2 am morning, they keep talking with some passengers and telling stories, and some sharing their life experiences while others talking about their love life, and they are having a delightful conversation together while waiting for their flight
The long journey is very bored the good things, and I have met those people who are so friendly to me, indeed some people who trust the stranger easily without any disinclination, before they get on board, later I notice the lady sat near the window compartment, as the airplane running on the runway that about to take off the conversation was silently end
Later after the airplane take-off, and the guy opens the topic to the lady, the man says, it seems you are feeling cold. A lady with a smile is just a minor cold that is quite obvious, early morning right, She asks then, the lady starts talking about her personal life, let me ask you, how old are you? The guy smiled
Oh, and you are too young, and can you guess at least how old I am? I guess thirty-five years old, and she starts smiling, and that is ten years ago, and they both laugh lady asks the guy, what makes you think of getting married at a young age. That is a difficult question, a guy says
A lady says, but the guy was so thoughtful, looking forward to meeting someone like you again on my next journey. I learned a lot in our talk, sometimes on our trip, and we meet someone that teaches us a life lesson, but seriously perhaps, I must admit now at my age it is hard to find the man who is going to love me
Do you ever think sometimes you are single? A guy says, but in the eyes of every man you look not available anymore it is your style, how can you say that? Oh, and I forget to tell you, I dream of a photographer once, and I can evaluate a woman by her look and woman laughed, and If that is the case you must know me well now, Guy, I guess so, but I could not
And what is the reason behind your unforgiving opinion and the purpose, and please make me understand if you don't mind, tell me more the lady says, the guy laughed, okay then I must say it this way, your personality is a perfectionist and you even sometimes rudely, sound like you know me very well, perhaps you are good photography you can even read my curve
Lady says, and never you talked of anything about your personal life, she asks, can you measure me by my action using your superpowers? Possibly you are still single, the guy laughed that was four years ago, a lady that is too early for you to settle down, there are no specific requirements, besides from falling in love, I guess, and when you are attainable to do so, but it is not like that sometimes, do you want to know further about my story
And I have been married four years now to my X girlfriend, and we have been in a relationship for three years. Then I will not let the opportunity take away, hardly cannot afford to lose her, sound hackneyed right? And that is what my heart tells, and in the same month from I meet her, with the different year, I propose to marry her, for a good reason I never love anyone in my whole life, she was my first love though, and she should be mine, sound might be thankless, but that is love all about right?
Nineteen years later, Anna and Prince live happily ever after with their two kids

The Mirror
I was married for twenty-seven years and had two children. I thought I was doing what was "required" of me, following the path so many others before me had done. I grew up in a large and loving family, went to college, met a man I loved but later realized I was not in love with, got a job, got married, had a family. Isn't that the way it's done? But the angle of the trajectory of my life changed.After all this? Or before. I'd always been intrigued by women. In movies it was the women I had crushes on more often than not. In high school I experimented with a female friend. Don't we all try different things as we discover who we might become? As I got older I had dreams of being with women. After a long and somewhat unhappy marriage I left my husband, went out on my own. I'd felt raw, unappreciated, disrespected for some time. Raw, like I'd been battered down to this vulnerable thing. I'd lost my sense of identity, lost my way. For five years, after I left, I felt the freedom from that marriage for which I'd longed. But at some point, while traveling to and from a friend's daughters wedding by myself, I realized I was lonely. I wanted to have someone in my life with whom to share my adventures. I joined dating apps but was not satisfied with what I saw, with the men I interacted with, all older than me while I felt so much younger than my age. And it just didn't feel right so I dropped the apps. I must have been about fifty-five when I went to San Francisco with a friend to walk in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser. I met two women from my hometown, one with whom I'd been intrigued for some time. I called her after we got back home to see how she was doing and we decided to connect and have coffee. We became friends and started hanging out regularly. One night we ended up in bed together. It was the first time I had a sexual experience with another woman. I'll never forget how I felt the next day. After she left I went into the bathroom. As I faced the mirror I looked at myself. I realized that the person looking back at me, that person I'd seen in a mirror a thousand times, was not who I had been. It was as if I was seeing myself for the very first time. The person looking back at me was the woman who held my true identity. What a revelation! I felt free, as if I'd shed a heavy coat I'd been wearing my whole life that didn't quite fit right. I was free to be who I'd been wanting to be. That relationship turned out to be quite messy, short-lived, and painful. But it gave me the courage to go forward and look for someone else. And boy, did I succeed. I met my wife through Craigslist. We both wrote short blurbs about ourselves, who we were and what we were looking for. There were no photos involved. We met and something clicked. We've been together for over ten years. When I got to know her I discovered what it meant to be in love with someone as well as to love that person. As for my sons, they love my wife and she loves them. As hard and scary as it was to come out to them, and it was very hard, I found that they were accepting and open to this new relationship. I'm sure it wasn't easy for them but the bottom line is they wanted to see me happy. I think that is a tribute to the job their father and I did raising them. The mirror is about reflection. Melinda and I are a reflection of each other. In photos I see her looking at me and I see the love there. And it works the other way as well. When I see people who appear to be in love and happy I see them mirroring their feelings for each other. Melinda taught me that we are who we see in the eyes of others. The mirror was a door for me, a door that opened up and exposed me to a new relationship. One that is warm, solid, loving, and amazing. One in which I can truly be myself.
