My Personal Experience
I have met many people in all sorts of ways; at fund raising events, social gatherings, work, and on the Internet. I think meeting in any way has the same affect.
When you meet a person of the opposite sex you feel different things. It depends on whether you are attracted to them or not. I have felt the same nervous, butterflies in the pit of my stomach feeling every time I meet a guy who has ignited my personal interest. I have a shy little girlish feeling whether online or offline.
Sometime during the spring of 2001 I met a man, I met Aaron in a chat room on a very popular website. It was a group of different people of both genders living around the world. This was some time after I began exploring and teaching myself how to use the computer and Internet to my advantage and amusement.
I have never even touched a computer before the winter of 2000 nor did I have interest in doing so. I was working mostly as a cook and fast food management and raising children. I spoke to many people online, both men and women. I even sold things on another well popular website.
Australia
Aaron was a younger man who lived in Australia. He was going through a lot of stressful events as well. We understood each other and shared a lack of desire for life. Neither benefitted anything other than a friendship that became the perfect love relationship. We were each other’s soul mate.
We both felt as if we lived in another life time on earth before this one during mid evil times. We shared everything about our life and events from the past and present day. There were many days that we didn’t want to leave each other’s presence. We took turns to be the one who would be stronger than the other to end our meeting for the day.
Yes, we took care of our daily responsibilities as I had a child to care for. My daughter Ang developed a relationship with him also. Every day after he came home from work he would log onto the Internet to see my face and hear my voice.
No, it really doesn’t get easier after awhile to be on a camera, especially when you want nothing more than to be wrapped up in each other’s arms. There were times I didn’t turn on the cam because it was too depressing at times.
We carried a one year relationship before either of us was able to arrange for a face to face visit. I had more advantages so my child and I went to Australia. It was a fun event to plan. My daughter Ang and I went clothes shopping at West Deptford in Gloucester County New Jersey. I found out how theft security on credit cards work. LoL
We did whatever was necessary to get our passports as well. I bought the airline tickets online. I purchased tickets to Sea World and prepaid the hotel room for two weeks in a tourist area of Australia NSW.
Our flight began in Philadelphia to LAX and we had a ten hour overlay. That was an adventure of its own. We had five huge luggage bags and had no place to put them. So we were stuck in the airport dragging a huge luggage cart all the time.
My daughter and I have a good relationship so we get along well. I bought some games along for the trip which kept us pretty occupied. Our flight from LAX to Sydney, Australia began at two in the morning. It was a fourteen hour flight. I did not sleep since I left New Jersey so I know what jetlag is now. Aaron was waiting for us in Sydney. I saw his face fifteen minutes after we got off of the plane from across the airport.
We had to wait an hour for a charter jet to get from Sydney to Coolangetta which he paid for. That was an hour flight. The first few hours together felt stranger than anything I have experienced in my entire life. He looked different in person I thought at first.
It was around noon time and hotel check in time wasn’t until 3 p.m. so we went to his aunt’s house which is where he lived. I felt weird the whole time until we fell asleep together on the sofa for a bit. That is where we reconnected. I no longer felt weird.
When I got to the hotel room it was like a furnished apartment. Upstairs had a master bedroom, living room, eating area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Bath room had a Jacuzzi. The down stairs had a second bedroom and laundry room. Each bedroom had a balcony.
Aaron had gotten a friend to come into the place formed fresh rose pedals on the master bed in the shape of a large heart. I thought it was cute. We stayed in the next day and went swimming. We went to Sea World, a zoo, and spent a lot of time on the beach near Point Danger. We visited the mall of course and his friends and family. We very much enjoyed our stay. Only issue we dealt with was when out bike riding, these birds chased us.
We spent some time on the beach as well. In my mind I knew this would become our new home so I purchased some start up things such as beds for an apartment. I did any research needed in order for me to be able to stay in Australia.
Ang and I wound up staying three months in Australia which maxed out our visa. We spoke with a lawyer to see what we had to do to live in Australia. Aaron had to become our sponsor and had to be earning a certain amount of money to sponsor us. The day came when I had to leave. All three of us cried a river that morning.
We did not communicate much after I got back to the states because we only wanted one thing and it hurt too much. Eventually, communication stopped completely and I went on with my life as a mother to my pre-teen child.
I tried to find him on the internet every day but could not until one day I did find him. I found Aaron on a well known social website. It is well known for what people put as their status updates. He was filled with anger because of hurt. He said that I left him. I said I had no choice. We could not remain friends because of the hurt was so deep he could not handle it.
While we were together I gave him hope for the beauty that life has to offer. I made him want love after hurting for so long. He found someone and married. I felt happy for him. And we never spoke again.
I learned that a soul mate is not always a man or woman that one might spend the rest of their life waking up next to. A soul mate is who one bonds with in every way deep within the heart and soul.
I cannot speak for all of Australia and I was told that Sydney is dangerous for most people. But the area I was in is so beautiful that both my daughter and I hated to leave. The coldest it gets there is enough to wear a heavy sweater or dress jacket.
