...Welcome to HoBBLe CooKie's Quiet Corner...
"So why start a web page like this?" Good question. But a while ago I almost lost the love of my life, Alida Visser, and I also dedicate this site to her.
We were together for 18 months of which the first year was heaven. Then we both attended the same Technikon the last six months. We still loved each other, but I didn't give her the attention and didn't show her the love she deserves. I studied Mechanical Engineering and had a lot of stress and problems to cope with, but instead of holding her close to me and sharing my problems with her, I pushed her away. Slowly, but surely, we started drifting away from eachother. I was offered a second chance...one I don't actually deserve and I just want to say to everyone out there that has someone special in their lives to show that someone who stole a piece of your heart how you feel about them and to respect them and appreciate them. If you don't...you will be really sorry. I know I am, because I have about 2 months to try and save the relationship and I hope I can do it, but I still wish I did more when we were at our happiest together.
Ok, I don't want to insult my gender...but when it comes to being affectionate, romantic, to listen, to understand a woman's feelings and desires we suck! Not ALL of us, but definately more than the half of us! After spending a few years with the opposite sex, I've actually learnt how fascinating, interesting and wonderful they are and was also astounded by their mental power. So now I'm using this little space on the net to try and show the world what Alida means to me, what she does to me, what she gives me...she's an Angel. One of the other reasons I'm starting this site is to let the other guys out there (and women in rare cases) know that they shouldn't take their loved ones for granted, because I did and look where I'm ending up...
It might be stupid to some people, but trying with all and everything in my power to save the best relationship I've ever had isn't stupid to me. I'm going to use this space to let everyone know how I feel about my angel and hopefully people who read this can use some of the information to make the loved ones in their lives feel special...because they are.
Alida
was madly inlove with me, don't get me wrong...I was AM madly
inlove with her as well, if not more, but I didn't show her. Because I
took everything for granted, our relationship started to fade...slowly, but
surely. You see, the thing is that she was talking about getting married
and I loved the idea, but I was more realistic...the kind of person who first
would like to build a platform for a married life, e.g. first get a good job
after I'm qualified, save money...that sort of thing. I thought I was
doing the right thing, but actually I was wrong. I was thinking with my
head, instead of just following my heart and jump right in, because love
conquers all. Isn't it strange that a lot of people worry about money,
their jobs and what they eat, but only a few actually worry about love in their
lives. That's why there's so many divorces these days. And it's
wrong to think or worry about anything that can't make you happy for the rest of
your life.
I'm mad at myself for only realising it now...if I could I would ask Alida to marry me as soon as possible, but she doesn't feel the same anymore and it's hard to face it, but I'll try my heart out. So what if I'm only 20? I know what I want...I know what my heart wants, and it's NOT just a phase or a stage or whatever you want to call it. I love Alida with all my heart and would do anything in my power to keep her happy.
If you have any questions, suggestions, comments...anything - feel free to e-mail me.
