Hey all! Sorry we've been a bit off our game. We're trying to get into the groove of things but having trouble managing our schedule since Felix has been super busy and I'm still managing my beauty channel and blog! We'll get the schedule down eventually -- bear with us :)
So I had an incident yesterday with corn that taught me a couple of things about our relationship. So let me set the scene here: my dad bought me and Fel like 10-15 ears of corn (the world may never know why.) and so I decided to boil some. Because I started it kind of late, we decided to eat dinner first and then I was going to get my corn when it was ready.
When I realized my corn was ready - knowing it was a huge heavy pot of boiling water - I quietly went myself to pour the water out. I didn't want to bother Fel while he was eating. The pot was heavy - but I am strategic with the way I always do things, so I had full confidence everything was going to be great. As I poured the water out. a surprise corn fell out of the top of the corn pile, causing the boiling water to spill and splash onto my clothes. I've never dropped boiling water on myself before... but BOY was it hot. I quickly put the pot back, dried my clothes and went about my business.
I decided NOT to tell Felix because I knew he would lecture me about not being careful and I mean, I was fine... but soon, my stomach started to feel like fire. It burned a bit - but in my mind I was thinking, "OHHH it's fine!" Well... 20 minutes later, I figured, well if I get ice out - he'll ask me what happened... so I told him how I accidentally spilled the hot water on my skin. He lifted up my shirt and lo and behold was as huge red splotch that was slightly bubbled. Embarrassed, I let him use my frozen fruit bag to ice it.
As I went along the next day - every time I sat down, I was reminded of my stubbornness and pride... and in the end, this stupid corn taught me two things.
1. Don't be afraid to ask your significant other for help. I KNEW before I poured out the water that it was going to be annoyingly heavy... however part pride and part didn't want to be a bother landed me a nice lil burn. When you have a genuine need for help no matter how big or small, your significant other loves you and cares for you and will help you in your time of need. I know for me, I would never want Felix to have to go through his burdens alone.
2. Be Honest. I wanted to hide the truth because I knew I would get lectured - but if I did #1, I wouldn't even be in this situation... so it's important to be honest. When you confront your s/o - you can solve the problem together and take care of each other. I didn't want to get lectured - but in the end, I felt so much better knowing that Felix could help me. And then he followed up with me the next day and laughed at my dark purple mark -___- Suffering alone is one of the loneliest feelings and its not worth it because of a little bit of guilt, pride or worry.
As silly and little as it may sound, I'm thankful for these dumb little moments that gives me a reminder for more important moments. Ha. Ha. *eye roll* :P
