RentMen:
If we sat on the beach and drank wine and ate great food just you and I, what would you tell me about yourself and your life?
GabrielRex:
A beach is not the place for wine—we'd definitely be drinking a stiff margarita and soaking up the sun and surf.
The locale doesn't determine what I tell people, though, only their questions. I typically don't talk about myself unless in response to questions asked of me—and with those, I am an open book, so what I tell you is merely dictated by what you want to know. So ask away. If I am not comfortable answering you, I will also tell you so—afterall, we're all entitled to a bit of privacy. ;)
RentMen:
What are 5 things you can’t live without?
GabrielRex:
In no particular order: family—including chosen family); music—I have a very eclectic taste; the written word—I am a writer, so writing and reading (especially writing) fuels and recharges my soul; great food & drink—both making and enjoying; and love—I am a hopeless romantic, and I believe that love is humanity's greatest superpower.
RentMen:
What do you enjoy most about yourself?
GabrielRex:
Probably my ability to keep my optimism and positivity. Holding on is believing that there is only a past; letting go is knowing that there is a future. I learned early on to let go of the past, of grudges, of negativity so that you can make room for positivity, abundance, and a brighter future not clouded by the past. We can learn a lot from nature. The trees do not try to force the summer. They know when to let go and trust that the warmth will return one day.
I think this trait of always finding the silver lining and seeing the best in people has made me a kinder, more compassionate person overall and has helped me connect to others easier and on a deeper level. Kindness is free, after all; those who charge for it—or hold it hostage in exchange for something else—aren't kind people at all at the heart of it, are they?
RentMen:
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like others to absolutely know about you?
GabrielRex:
This may be a business killer, but it should not be because it is exemplary of my genuineness and honesty... but one thing everyone should know about me is that I am am happily married (almost 4 years married, over 7 years together, and have known each other almost 20 years).
He is very much aware that I am on this site, and we have set the rules for this to work within our relationship. We are open and polyamorous, and while we normally only play together, he has given me a bit of forbearance with this endeavor.
