Ah gals~
It took me a long time to finally make these July & August posts
so when you come across them, as they're not published on that present time, I hope you get to enjoy them regardless~
I felt bad not posting on time but it felt good seeing everything with the lens I see stuff with after months ♡
So we reached the 3rd part & the final one which consists of my top favourite days.
I started feeling more comfortable as days went by~
Sunday 23rd
I got my bags ready coz I'd go stay at his hacienta in the night hihihi
We first went to the beach & chilled with his friends.
Then at 8pm we went to Limassol Marina to meet with his schoolmate & his girlfriend.
The marina is at the old town which I liked a lot but I felt so sad getting to know the old town is not considered a good area.
I really liked the girl coz she had sooooo many interesting stuff to talk about & I also love chatting non-stop hehe.
Then as we were heading to the parking lot, I saw a korean restaurant & I wanted to get them to taste makeoli & I also got a soju. And what better than chilling together outside at the grape fields he's got at the hacienta?
Then back to the hacienta...
IT WAS DREAMY.
SUCH A BLESSING.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw he placed a table closer to the field to a spot where it would not get hit by the intense light they had outside. And the moon looked like the sun. Omg wish I could turn this into a poem hahaha.
Somehow because others would ask me stuff, I was being more brave expressing stuff I'd not tell him otherwise hahahaha. Like getting asked if I'd go to Cyprus if my charismatic would come back & I answered yes but on the mountains hahaha.
Then the boys went inside & I told the girl, Maria, something & I started opening up a lot & I started crying & suddenly the boys were coming back & I had to hide my tears so I got up before he sees my eyes hahahahah & we went inside with Maria LOOOOL. I urged her at these few seconds to come with me inside hahaha.Then... I did the right thing coz she spoke to me like an angel. LIKE.AN.ANGEL. Who knew a 23yo would tell me the wisest words I have ever heard? She soothed my heart.
Monday 24th
My last day there... all shorts of emotions.
I had an inside joke with two of my friends. That if I text them "zucchini flowers" then it means I met his mother.
Coz I love them & he sent me a pic on his first day back to Cyprus that his mum had made him fried zucchini flowers. I had years to eat them coz the only one who would usually make them & especially fry them would be my mum's mother who's gone. She used to stuff them with feta or any other white cheese & other times with rice, just like you'd do with dolma.
Yup, I saw her & I had no words. I didn't even introduce myseeeelf!!!
Not even to his father.
Mel... come on...COME ON!
Such an embarrassment...
At the same time, I could not understand what his father was talking about sometimes coz the cypriot accent was too strong. But we chit-chatted a bit.
They left & we stayed at the hacienta a lil bit more to chill until it was time for lunch at his house.
Hehe I like village houses as they are so cosy for some reason.
We ate & took a nap coz summer weather makes me feel so tired.
Wow, a pic of me! haha I'd rarely take any pics of me.
Hehe... but gals... I finally saw his house, his room. That's where he grew up at, that was his room. Once again, usual Mel, you know. I got too shy to check his stuff & ask him about his medals.
And then we went to the nearby village, called Omodos, where he'd go for school at.
He was 100% right when he said we should have come earlier to spend more time there & get to know the people as well. Coz I'd also love more time to wander around & whatever beautiful this entailed~
I think we met two of his teachers. Do you know how touching it is telling you he spoke zero greek but he was perfect in maths? hihi Cute lil stuff I learn about him~
It also felt good getting to know them. I was missing a lot being at a neighborhood where everybody knows you & you know them, just like back in Athens. That's also the reason why I loved the villages in Cyprus. So thankful he introduced me to his world.

Look how dreamy & magical after the sunset.
Oh especially this street, the houses, the lights~
I'm a sucker for alleys with ground level houses. Oh I won't go on about materials & architecture & the essence coz I won't be able to stop.
Our walk was almost over
as we'd soon reach the parking spot.
It was 7:50pm when I took the following pic.
Gals gals gals~ I wanted to hug his mum but I didn't coz I don't know what'd be appropriate. My mum later told me I should have done it without thinking whatever if that's what I felt.
I simply stroked her shoulder, thanked her & wished her well.
Whatttt. Is that Mel? No. I really wanted to just give her a warm hug. That'd be the right Mel.
Then we went to Limassol to get his friend coz he didn't wanna go by himself after he dropped me at the airport. But as we were picking him up, his best friend's mum was outside their house so we got in. It was such a pleasant surprise but I was sadly not that talkative pfffff I was kinda melancholic leaving & so I'd love to see them again & get to talk more.
I was not social also coz I got lost with their cats lol

They also told me I should think about extending my stay while I was already tempted to do so but in my mind, I wanted to leave earlier than my charismatic so he can spend his last days without me with his own people.
Then it truly was time to leave.
So thankful he drove me to so many places safely,
took care of me, got me inside his world.
So appreciative of his actions.
I sometimes would feel like trouble
but I'm thankful I'm being loved
while I'm figuring myself out.
If only he could grow the capacity
or knowledge or patience
to be more gentle with me
while I'm having my moments.
One question I will leave for time to answer is...
"I've come to understand more of him & I continue to strive to understand him better.
But does he want to understand me too?"
Will 5 become a lil bit like 6 through their 0 space so 6 can actually reach its 7 potential?

That was the 3rd part & the final one~
My whole takeaway is that the less you are to your mind, the more you are to your body, soul, heart. Coz you express more to the outside world, you connect more, you are more in the present moment & you experience, not just being a passive watcher, tip-toeing. Not you... ME lol.
I was too alone, too lonely for too long that I created safety in my cocoon coz I had no other choice. It's not easy for anyone to understand this & I'm ok with it.
How beautiful it is though getting to heal untouched parts that require somebody else's world to enter yours. Oh hahaha is that another theory that ends up in unity?!
And gals... being in love is such a vulnerable thing but it gives you such fortitude. Is it really vulnerable or is it the ultimate power that if there was more of it, the world would be a paradise?
I do acknowledge my posts are mostly around this topic but this is such a great inspiration to my art hahaha
I hope you enjoyed my adventures haha
