The Ups and Downs to Life

Just a recent college grad; trying to spread some love in this not so perfect world while trying not to drown in her sorrows. Always here to help; this is and always will be a safe space.

“No one is too good for you. It all depends on the kind of attraction. You can be desired for your looks, status, or the size of your bank account, but when you are desired for you— your heart, your soul, the way your mind works, nothing else matters. Spiritual connection surpasses all else.“”

— Beau Taplin

You deserve someone who’s good for your mental health and never stops trying.

Ian Stone, Doubting Thomas, oil on linen, 12x16 in, 2023

"If you know the painting by Caravaggio, Doubting Thomas, it was my direct inspiration for this piece.

A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience. 50-60 years ago, it was not uncommon for people to think or believe that being gay was a phase or a mental illness or deviance in some shape or form. It's embarrassing that the same things are being said about trans people today."

As long as you know your intentions are pure, never stress yourself about anything or anyone. You have to trust that you will always end up being where you’re meant to be and that it’s never your loss respectfully.

"I ache for you, for you to speak to me with an untold softness in your voice.. whisper in my ear that you love me, tell me that you want some more. I ache for you, to hear the things that make you tick.. I want to know your mind, your heart, your soul.. I want to know you so deeply that I feel as if I am swimming an ocean of you. I ache for you.."

I yearn and softly burn as I ache for you - eUë

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

 A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish. Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"

Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.”

The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”

Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?” Values are transmitted from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”
