When I was in Portugal a couple of years ago I was in seventh heaven on the beach - dark, well built / very athletic, and awesome body art, they constantly play soccer ... *swoon*

My dad is 1/4 Portuguese. His grandfather was a Portuguese sailor. He has black hair and hazel eyes and gets a dark, dark tan after just one afternoon in the sun. I always wished I could be like that. I look a lot like him except for the colouring. I'm the very pale, female version of him. I wish I could have inherited his colouring. I inherited my depression from him instead. LOL.

Your relationship with your ex-boyfriend sounds a lot like my past. I put a stop to the hooking-up thing with my ex many years ago and I'm glad I did because it was making things complicated. He's my best friend now. I'm so glad we were able to work past the urge to jump into bed together all the time. There was so much more to our relationship than that and now there's nothing making it messy. He's the one person in this world who I feel comfortable talking with about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and I never feel judged. I'm glad we're not doing anything to risk that friendship anymore. He's still my knight in shining armour. I seem to need one of those in my life.
