Like I Never Even Loved You At All

Please Keep Praying For Palestine & Ukraine

"Come and sit here with me." 

He looked into her eyes and extended his hand as if saying,

take it, and don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.

She hesitated for a moment, she couldn't help still feeling scared,

she had been hurt so many times in the past.

She had kept all her walls up to protect herself

never allowing anyone in for a long time.

But there he was, sweet and caring.

How could she resist the invitation to all his promises?

She felt safe with him, happy and adventurous... alive!

His hand still stretched out to her, inviting and irresistible.

A beautiful invitation to a million promises, all sweet and perfect.

For a split second, she thought of running away, but she couldn't.

Her eyes were locked on his as they smiled at each other.

She began to take short steps toward him

making the distance between them disappear.

She extended her hand, reaching his, and as they touched...

"Why do you insist on turning my world upside down?

Don't you know that I love you?"

He pulled her into his arms, teasing her lips with his...

"Because I love you too. You are all I think of.

I want to be near you and know everything about you

because I love you, I love you, I love you."...

"Come and sit here with me." 

He looks into her eyes and extends his hand as if saying,

take it, and don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.

It is a new day, in the same place, but with a new different woman.

Like I Never Even Loved You

~ Today Kid (Feat. Roma) ~

How many times can a heart be broken for love?

I had my heart broken too many times in the past and was left feeling like a fool,

full of regret and shame.

I kept telling myself, "How stupid, stupid, stupid I am. How could I have fallen for that

and let myself be used?"

But one day, I realized that I shouldn't feel ashamed of what someone else did.

There should be no regret and feelings of shame left in us.

We were the ones who were truthful and genuine, giving the best of us with our love and respect.

And they are the ones who should feel ashamed for their actions.

For disrespecting and being unappreciative of the beautiful gift that was given to them.

Guard your hearts, ALWAYS!

Tears Are Words The Heart Can't Say

If I showed you my teardrops,

Would you collect them like rain,

Store them in jars,

That are labeled with “Pain”,

Would you follow their tracks,

From my eyes down my cheeks,

As they write all the stories,

I’m too scared to speak,

Would you stop them with kisses,

Bring their flow to a halt,

As you teach me that pain,

Isn’t always my fault,

Would you hold my face gently,

As you dry both my eyes,

And whisper the words,

“You’re too precious to cry”,

If I showed you my teardrops,

Would you show me your own,

And learn though we’re lonely,

We’re never alone.

-e.h.

I AM STRONGER THAN ALL THESE!

These are the words you will find me repeating over and over again since the year 2022 started.

Sometimes the dark tunnels that we are forced to cross in life seem endless but the light is always 

guaranteed at the end. The thing is to stay strong during the crossing.

No matter how short or long our tunnels are, I promise you, they all have an end

and things will get better... much better.

I AM STRONGER THAN ALL THESE!

When She Was Just A Girl She Expected The World

They say a picture can tell a million words.

This is so true. It can say much more than what we can ever imagine.

It usually tells the story of the image we see, usually, it can be interpreted differently 

by different people. While some people may see the above pictures simply as a young girl 

peacefully becoming one with the waves, others may see a defeated soul begging to be taken away...

You can only know for certain what the artist is trying to translate through her/his work 

if a description has been added to the image.

Tear be still for a moment.

Let the waves wash you away

Let me breathe for at least a second

because I feel like I am slowly dying

with each passing day...

This is my description of the above picture.

I find myself trying to survive through difficult times, again.

With every loss, of a loved one, I tend to add more sadness and guilt to my life.

I keep thinking of every single thing I could have done better, or different but didn't.

This makes it so unbearable because then I go to a place where I push people away because I feel

undeserving of love and happiness and so I punish myself.

I am my own merciless judge, jury, and executioner.

Most times people don't realize what a true blessing it is to have an extended family

and be surrounded by numerous loved ones. I, at this time of my life, am running out of

loved ones in my life. I can count them with the fingers of one hand, and that includes my

kitty Pollito. With my Ween (kitty) now gone the loneliness and emptiness have become

bigger for now.

But I am a strong woman.

I will survive and the smiles will return once again and the tears will be dried

by all the happy moments that are still waiting to be made with those loved ones that

are still in my life.

But for now, I will cry all I need to cry for my departed ones.

And once my tears have watered enough the flowers I have planted for them in my heart,

my smile will return bright as the sun to keep alive their beautiful memory that will never die

and I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Thanks For Reading!

Thank you baby for this beautiful song... love you elephants!

"When she was just a girl she expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, it gets so heavy

The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall

In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes

In the night the stormy night away she'd fly."

Dangerous Curves

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): so many curves on you

Lori Novo: ;)))

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): women and roads .. the more curves the more dangerous!

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): just the gas pedal!

Lori Novo: mhm ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): let's go home so i can kiss all these curvy spots

And tell me now, I want to know...

How Do I Live

-Trisha Yearwood -

How do I get through one night without you?

If I had to live without you

What kind of life would that be?

Oh now, I need you in my arms, need you to hold

You're my world, my heart, my soul

If you ever leave

Baby, you would take away everything good in my life

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky

There would be no love in my life

There'd be no world left for me

And I, baby, I don't know what I would do

I'd be lost if I lost you

If you ever leave

Baby, you would take away everything real in my life

And tell me now

How do I live without you?

I want to know

How do I breathe without you?

If you ever go

How do I ever, ever survive?

How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?

If you ever leave

Baby, you would take away everything

I need you with me

Baby, 'cause you know that you're everything good in my life

And tell me now

How do I live without you?

I want to know

How do I breathe without you?

If you ever go

How do I ever, ever survive?

How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?

How do I live without you, baby...

What Have I Become?

Johnny Cash - "Hurt"

(Cover by Nicolette Mare)

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way...

I Hate Myself For Loving You

Hello Beautiful World!

Just sneaking in here a little blog post with a song that I love so much

and a pic of my own version of Joan Jett.

That's it, The End, over and out.

Remember that I love myself for loving you.

Much Love,

Lori Novo

I Hate Myself For Loving You - Joan Jett

Midnight, gettin' uptight Where are you?

You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two

I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you

Hey, Jack, It's a fact they're talkin' in town

I turn my back and you're messin' around

I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown

I think of you every night and day

You took my heart, then you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the the things that you do

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why

I hate myself for loving you

Daylight, spent the night without you

But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do

I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through

Hey, man, bet you can treat me right

You just don't know what you was missin' last night

I want to see your face and say forget it just from spite

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the the things that you do

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why

I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the things that you do

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why

I hate myself for loving you

I think of you every night and day

You took my heart, then you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the the things that you do

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why

I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you.

“Take me to your darkest corners 

and watch your demons surrender to mine..”

― Anjum Choudhary, Souled Out

Hello Beautiful World!

Just saying hello from my little corner of the world and hoping that you all are having a restful

Sunday. As for me, I couldn't be more relaxed. Sundays are usually my lazy day so I usually like to

spend them watching movies or Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption live streams. I bet

some of you didn't know this about me but yes, I am guilty of enjoying this kind of entertainment

which Steppenwolf finds pretty much trash. I understand that this is not for everyone. One must

keep an open mind and not take everything they say or do in these live streams too seriously. I

have to admit that sometimes my streamers do cross the line and I think, 

"Omg, I can't believe he/she just said that", But honestly, they are very funny and entertaining.

Well my beautiful people, thanks for stopping by to say hello and continue to keep safe.

Hugs for everyone and much love!

Lori Novo

OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Flickr

Please Forgive Me

~ Bryan Adams ~

Still feels like our first night together

Feels like the first kiss, it's gettin' better, baby

No one can better this...

Still holdin' on, you're still the one.

First time our eyes met, same feelin' I get

Only feels much stronger, wanna love you longer

You still turn the fire on...

So if you're feelin' lonely—don't

You're the only one I ever want.

I only wanna make it good

So if I love you a little more than I should...

Please forgive me

I know not what I do.

Please forgive me

I can't stop lovin' you

Don't deny me.

This pain I'm going through...

Please forgive me if I need you like I do.

Please believe me.

Every word I say is true...

Please forgive me

I can't stop loving you

Still feels like our best times are together.

Feels like the first touch, still gettin' closer, baby

Can't get close enough.

Still holdin' on, you're still number one.

I remember the smell of your skin,

I remember everything,

I remember all your moves

I remember you, yeah!

I remember the nights, you know I still do.

So if you're feelin' lonely—don't

You're the only one I ever want.

I only wanna make it good

So if I love you a little more than I should...

Please forgive me

I know not what I do.

Please forgive me

I can't stop lovin' you

Don't deny me

This pain I'm going through.

Please forgive me if I need you like I do

Oh, believe me.

Every word I say is true.

Please forgive me

I can't stop loving you.

One thing I'm sure of is the way we make love.

And one thing I depend on is for us to stay strong.

With every word and every breath, I'm prayin'

That's why I'm sayin'...

Please forgive me

I know not what I do.

Please forgive me

I can't stop lovin' you.

Don't deny me.

This pain I'm going through.

Please forgive me if I need you like I do.

Babe, believe me.

Every word I say is true.

Please forgive me if I can't stop loving you.

Never leave me

I don't know what I'd do.

Please forgive me

I can't stop loving you,

Can't stop loving you.

SECRET

~ The Pierces~

Hello Beautiful World!

Today I decided to do one of Strawberry Singhs' meme challenges 

and share a few things about myself that you still may not know. 

All that I ask is that you don't judge me because I am so goofy.

This one is from March 21st.

Never Have I Ever Game

1. Never have I ever had sex, in Second Life.

Sex? Never!!! Making love? Many, many times with the man that I love. ;)

2. Never have I ever visited a sex sim, in Second Life.

I have by accident while looking for good photo locations. I never care to check the

description of the sim, so I'd get a few scares. Once I was chased around a sim by a naked guy with a

penis as big as a light pole, It was actually funny.

Never have I ever been an escort or stripper, in Second Life.

No, never! I am more on the convent side I think.

Never have I ever been in porn videos in Second Life.

Never. However, years ago there was a link on Google Search that said something like 

"Lori Novo in Second Life giving a blow***, video." I knew that was impossible since I had not been

sleeping around or anything of anything. I was too chicken to click it so I never saw what that was

about. Maybe it was another Lori Novo they were talking about or just a sick joke.

Never have I ever done things that may be illegal in the real world, in Second Life. 

Yes, I have, once I witnessed more like taking part in a hit-and-run and didn't stick around to help or 

wait for the SL authorities to declare what I had seen. You see, my ex Ocean and I while I was exploring haunted places discovered this adult club where a bunch of naked men and women were having orgies all piled up like in a human mountain. So Ocean went and got a car and drove it into the club while I watched him from outside, yes, I was too chicken to go in there with him. Anyways, he drove over them, around them, under them while I watched naked bodies fly all over the place. And before anyone had any chance to react and lynch us, we escaped. They never knew what hit them!... Oops, now they do! It was Ocean (pointing her finger to Canada).

Never have I ever created an ALT for secret activities, in Second Life.

Of course, I have. Don't we all? I use my alt to spend peaceful and loving time with my SL partner. ;)

Never have I ever had a one-night stand, in Second Life.

Never. Intimacy is something I don't take lightly to use as a simple pleasure. The act of exchanging bodily fluids with a man must have a deeper meaning for me to be able to enjoy it. 

Never have I ever been part of a roleplay community, in Second Life.

Never. I, however, took part in a few RP events & sims as a guest; the coronation of a queen. A wedding of a slave to his master, a vampires' reunion, lived for some time at Kingdom of Sand, etc.

Never have I ever discovered a new fetish, because of Second Life.

I don't think so. At least not yet.

Never have I ever done things in Second Life that I wouldn’t admit to my friends or family.

I like sharing my SL experiences with my kids and my mother, however, there are a few things

I prefer to keep to myself.  Nothing bad, trust me. ;)

Now what I have written here MUST remain a secret between us. 

Thanks For Reading!
