To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul. – Andri Cauldwell
I am going to be away this week for work. My life will be lived out in colour as I take in all the new things and see the world through my other eyes. I will leave part of me behind, keep it hidden and protected as I wear my mask for others. I will tell my half truths, half of each story and half of each thought. I will be the person others see. My life, usually balanced into carefully managed parts, will become about just the one. I will embrace being immersed in the colour, but the black and white will remain in my soul.

Missing you and missing me
Being apart is never easy, especially when it’s me left at home!! Hopefully the week will pass quickly and normal service can resume. x
Yes I will miss you ❤️
Beautiful image….. think how wonderful it will be when you get home ❤️
Oh yes. And the parting shot tonight should be good too ?
Have fun ?
Stunning!
Enjoy your trip. You have great love awaiting your return!
Thank you. Trip is going well but missing the good from home ?
That will just make the reunion a lot more pleasant.
Indeed ?
What a beautiful verse
Lovely cropped shot, I like all the different details and textures. Have a good trip, I hope you can find some opportunity to blend all those colours with your black and white, in secret at least x
Ah. The blending. I will be back to that soon thankfully ?
Thank you ?
Gorgeous image and very meaningful words to match!
Aww thank you so much ?
Have a good trip, I’m sure you are both looking forward to the time the mask can slip once again xx
Almost half way. Trip is good and the mask is still firmly in place for now lol ?
Lovely picture missy, your hair looks gorgeous. Have a good time away.
Thank you. And thank you ?
That is a delight. Enjoy your week.

Thanks Missy ?
Sometimes we have to keep one part of us hidden in order to do what we need to do, and then we can return to being the whole of ourselves. Lovely words and image 🙂

Yes that is very true. And I am finding it easier than last time. Not as warm in the NL as I thought though!
I think we all get the half-truths bit. Living carefully compartmentalized takes energy and forethought, but it is worth it and it feels weird when we only have to focus on one. Enjoy that brief freedom.
It is a strange feeling but so busy it has been easier than i thought it would be ?
This is absolutely exquisite, I love the cascading curls and the soft frill that frames your cleavage

Thanks Molly. ?
Interesting quote. I love the lacy frills on your outfit and I hope the trip is good. 🙂
Thank you. Trip is going well. Half way now ?
LOVE this shot x
Thank you LSB ?
Aww. I do hope you find a bit of joy in being away. I know how hard it is being apart.
You are the master of it I am sure. I am only playing for a short while which will make it much easier. But thank you ?
Beautiful image! The soft focus is perfect.
I hope your trip is/was good – I’m pretty sure the homecoming will be spectacular!
Thanks Jade. At the halfway point now ?
