In The Beginning...

First of all, I'd like to say I've never done anything like this before, and many years ago it would have been something I'd never have considered doing. But then, that could be said for a lot of other things too, which I've nonetheless gone on to do. This is my blog, and this is where I come and write to cleanse my soul and purge my sins. Or, perhaps, just to revel in my freedom of speech and reflection, and to tell you all the juicy gossip about my love life. A nice little reminder too, perhaps, of what once was but, as I know too well, must end too soon...

I'll tell you the whole story once I've introduced you to the main characters. The first is one of the most wonderful people one could ever hope to meet. He is young and carefree, affectionate and loving, everything one could ever wish for in a lover. As I type this now, I feel like whatever I say will do him no justice; there are no words good enough for how wonderful he is. His best feature: his ability to constantly make me smile, his washboard stomach, the depth to his dark blue eyes... I could go on, and I most likely shall in the future, but to conclude; his name is Alex, and, for now, he is my semi-secret lover.
I have been with my partner Jack for two and a half years now; and we've lived together for more than two years of that. He is the stability in my life - the sensible part that says "Don't do that, save your money, revise for your exams, do your coursework" - annoying, but sensible. I'm not all that sure I'd survive without him - but then, I say that only as I know no better. Deep down I'm sure he does love me - but he has funny ways of showing it sometimes. I can see myself married to him with a couple of kids...if we manage to somehow survive this year.
Millie is my best friend, and she knows about everything with Alex - well, everything I can text her, as she lives way up north so communication isn't great. I still love her though. More about her another time.
There are many other people, but none are so relevant as these above.
And as for me, my name is Angel. Welcome to my world.
