I love NYC and would move there in the morning so I can understand that, its funny when I was there home never really seemed too far away, and nowhere seems far from anywhere when Padhraig is with me.
Its tough going when your parents don't approve, I am lucky, Padhraig was the first guy i brought home and they really love him, they are disappointed if I go home without him and my small brother who is ten swaps Playstation games with him and thinks that Padhraig is cool! I can imagine my Mum's reaction if I was to go away like you did, but I can see your Mum's perspective on it the whole lesser of 2 evils thing. My Mum was really nervous abt me going to the US to Padhraig in case things didn't work out.
The first time we stayed at home we had a very full house so my friend and I shared my bed and P slept on the floor. The second time, I phoned my mum from an hour away and she said "I hope you don't expect me to make up a 2nd bed at such short notice" and so it was. My parents separated for six years and got back "together", P's parents are separated years so none of them were in a position to preach to us on morals, relationships etc. We get a double bed in his place too. (and there are 6 kids, 2 parents and 5 bedrooms in my house, when we are all home my small brother has to sleep on the floor!)
I really agree about making fate happen, you have to be open to it and take a few risks, it doesn't just fall on your lap.
You two really sound so happy, true soulmates. When I come to fallsprawl in NYC next year (say it enough times and it will come true!) I hope to meet you both!
I really should go to bed! its 1am but you lot are such good company I don't want to ...silly silly 'nead!
