cacao cafe

dark, delightfully roasted italian coffee with cacao powder.  a dreamy concoction of buttery goodness.

these last two months have been a whirlwind of gooey synapses.

my organization began to work closely with another organization, which is actually just one married couple, so it's really one person, isn't it?  we've become uncommonly bonded and, like coffee and cacao, there seems to be a harmonious blend of textures and flavours within us as a team.

beware of fast friendships, i always say.  being timid about my abilities as of late--all my abilities, even things like brushing my teeth.  i brush for even longer now, just to make sure i've done it properly--i've been second-guessing most of the thoughts of wisdom that pop into my mind from time to time.  however, this one i will not ignore.  it's time to get back up and live life.

so how does one be wary of relationships which begin this way?  there are already several ways in which we trust one another and we are past the point of open doors in each others' lives that are merely for the public.  more importantly, how does one keep wise and mindful without being bitter and fearful?

the yummy-ness of the outcome of the former keeps me conscientious about this task.  i've experienced the depth, the truth, the freedom, and security of friendships which began wisely, with deliberate steps, with humility and learning, which built strong foundations and are lasting even till now.  and naturally, i've also experienced the heart-ache, frustration, instability, and grief of haphazardly throwing myself into a promise which i could not keep.

it is a rarely talked-of topic, and even feared to be addressed in one's mind, is it not?  well, i dare to address it... for the sake of lasting friendships.
