AFTER BELIZE

AFTER BELIZE RECAP My three weeks in Belize were very different than those in Mexico. In Mexico, on most days, I’d be up and ready to go by 7AM in order to get an early start to the day. Then I’d proceed to see and do as much as possible until the very second I’d fall asleep. From tours to […]

IV.I.VI – The Blackest Day

IV.I.VI THE BLACKEST DAY Three words; “I love you”. Just three words.  Three words so simple that they’re usually part of an infant’s jargon. Put a monkey on a typewrite and it’s bound to spell them out eventually. Three simple words. I’ve been known to speak at an alarming rate of WPMs. I’m talking Lorelai Gilmore or someone who’s on […]

IV.I.V – Shades of Cool

IV.I.V SHADES OF COOL Things with Alex were very… different. Probably because he was different than what I was used to. Very bohemian and alternative – but not at all forced or fake, just the way he is. I don’t know what it was about him that drove me so crazy and wild.  And it wasn’t just him, his face or his […]

I.II.VII.II – San Ignacio: Day Two

SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.II – DAY TWO 28/09/22 Something I failed to mention about Roy is that he doesn’t swim. After two swimming-related deaths in his family, he’s remained apprehensive about swimming in areas where his feet don’t touch ground – rightfully so. Which meant we’d spend our penultimate day together apart, having had already booked a tour to the Actun […]

IV.I.IV – Off to the Races

IV.I.IV OFF TO THE RACES I remember dreading having to go on a date. All the small talk, the playing hard to get, the thrill of the chase. Then there’s the waiting for the right moment to ask them out and the having to decide where to go.  Then, of course, comes the much-awaited, much-dreaded day – along with the […]

I.II.VII.I – San Ignacio: Day One

SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.I – DAY ONE 27/09/22 Having to peel myself away from Roy and getting out of the most comfortable bed in existence proved to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Luckily enough, we had a full day of activities and adventures ahead of us.  After having breakfast and bidding Kay and Darcy adieu, Roy and […]

IV.I.III – Pride

IV.I.III PRIDE   With these new insights, I decided to give dating another try. The ‘not looking for anything serious but open to anything’ kinda dating. Up until that point my love life had been very simple; the boring, single phase, the six-month relationship with Pedro, and the only-looking-for-fun, single phase.  Whilst not very experienced in the domains of love, […]

I.II.VI.I – Belmopan: Day One

BELMOPAN I.II.VI.I – DAY ONE 26/09/22 After another day spent in the cabaña, seeking refuge from rain and all outside activity alike, it was time for me to get back on the road. This time round, it’d be a quick stop to the capital; Belmopan, where I’d be meeting Roy again. I remember waking up feeling all giddy and excited at […]

IV.I.II – Vulnerable

IV.I.II VULNERABLE To be happy, to be really happy, means being able to be hopeful. And hope? Not a big friend of mine. I think Gus was in the right here. The world’s not really a wish-granting factory after all. Earlier on in my life I ditched hope and dreams for goals and actions. And I was a much better person […]
