How I Fell in Love with You

I fell in love slowly. I fell in love with the little things. The small details that no one else would even think to notice.

I fell in love with your eyes. The way that they light up when you talk about something you love. The way they brighten up and crinkle at the corners when you laugh at a stupid joke or when you’re telling a story that you find funny.

I fell in love with the way that you show you care. When we talk, you subconsciously face your entire body towards me, showing that you do actually listen to what I ramble on about. The ways that you silently check to make sure that I’m alright when we’re in a group setting. A gentle wave when I start zoning out, losing myself to the abyss inside my mind. The gaze upon me that refuses to break until I have confirmed that I’m okay.

I fell in love with the way that you always double check that I do actually care, because even though I’ve told you a million times, you still need to hear me say it.

I fell in love with how passionate you are about the things you love.Always sharing the latest picture that you took that you’re proud of, even if you’re unsure of whether or not they’re actually good photos.

I fell in love with the way that you’re never really awake until you’ve had your cup of coffee.

I fell in love with your disgruntled face when I tell you that your always perfect hair got messed up by the wind and the rain.

I fell in love with how deep and calming your morning voice is.

I fell in love with your stupid face that I just can’t seem to get out of my head, no matter how hard I try.

I fell in love with everything that makes you, you.

I fell in love with you.

I Want You Always

I want to grow old with you

I want to bake cookies at two am

I want movie dates and picnics in the park

I want to wake up next to you, and I want you to be the last thing I see before falling asleep at night

I want to dance with you in the kitchen while dinner is on the stove

I want to sneak away with you at parties because we'd rather be alone together than alone in a crowd

I want us to grow old together

I want to dance in the rain and watch the stars twinkle at night

I want to kiss you while fireworks go off in the distance

I want to run into the ocean with you hand-in-hand

I want little road trips to the beach and cabins in the woods

I want us to take a horse drawn carriage ride and go sightseeing in the town that we've both lived in forever

I want us to spend long summer days at the lake and cold winter nights in front of the fire

I want sunsets and lazy weekends

I want coffee dates and trips to the libraries

I want to stand under waterfalls and kiss in the rain

I want the boring and mundane day-to-day life as well as the adventures

I want to whisper sweet nothings to you well after midnight when you can't fall asleep

I want you even on the days when you don't have time for your morning cup of coffee

I want to tell you that I love when I wake up and before I fall asleep and a million times in between

I want to give myself to you fully

I want us to know each other's secrets and share inside jokes that never get old

I want us to build a life together

I want you to be my forever

I want you always

Change

It’s time,

Experimenting on life,

Ending the What Ifs,

Daring to live,

Being brave,

Taking the risks,

Jumping in the dark,

Taking a leap of faith,

It’s time.

a letter to my younger self

I know. I know that life is hard for you right now, but you’ll get through it. I promise. All of the pain that you’re dealing with right now is only making you stronger. It’s making you into the person that you’re destined to become. You’ll get here, to where you’re supposed to be, it’s just gonna take a little bit of time.

Within the next few years you’re going to start discovering who you are. I know that right now that seems like an unreachable task, but I promise you’ll get there. This journey won’t be an easy one, but it’ll be worth the struggle. It’ll be worth the heartache. It’ll be worth the feelings of being lost and the hopelessness that currently seems to live inside your chest. You will conquer this obstacle. No one ever said that it would be easy, only that it would be worth it in the end.

I know that right now it may seem as if you can’t breathe, but you have a network of support all around you willing to help you through this. You’re going to relearn how to breathe, you’re going to walk through this, and you’re going to end up alright. In fact, you’re going to end up better than alright, at the end of this, you’re going to be happier than you’ve ever been, and you’ll relearn what it means to be happy. You’re going to relearn what is means to love.

The day that you come out to yourself is the day that you’ll learn to breathe again. That is the day that the waters will calm and you’ll no longer feel as if you’re drowning. You’ll no longer feel as if the world is suffocating you. You’ll finally be able to live your life again, no longer trapped in the lie this world has forced upon you. You’ll finally get to be happy again, no longer fighting a civil war within yourself. You’ll finally feel at peace with who you are.

I know that you’ll get through this. I’ve lived through it. I have faith in you, I believe in you, I know that you can do this. You are going to  accomplish some amazing things that may seem impossible to you right now. You may not conquer the world, you don’t need to, but you’ll conquer the mountain that’s standing in front of you. It may seem big and scary to you now, but you just have to take it step-by-step. You’ll eventually look back and be awed by how far you’ve come.

You are worth so much more than you will ever know. You may not think so right now, but I do. I’m waiting for you. I love you, I have faith in you, and I know that you can do this, all you need is a little bit of faith in yourself and to realize that you’re worth it. I know that you’ll eventually reach those steps, and I’ll be here encouraging you every step of the way.

I believe in you.

Sincerely,

your future self.

my lover

Love is the way I feel when I see her. It bubble inside my chest and makes me feel giddy inside. It makes a blush creep across my cheeks and a smile dance upon my lips. Love is the contentedness I feel around her.

Her arms are where I seek refuge, they shelter me from the pain of the outside world.

She calms the storm inside me and makes the rain clouds disappear.

She is the most beautiful girl in the room to me, her hair a rainbow that expresses her feelings for her better than she could ever manage with words. Her eyes are the ocean, and her soul a blanket. She provides me with shelter when all else fails. She is my home.

She is my love. She makes me the happiest girl in the world. She is my present, my future, and my past, it is hard to imagine walking through life without her. I am in love with her, and she with me.

To my future daughter: a letter to you.

To my future daughter,

You’re not yet conceived, not yet planned and I have no idea who your daddy will be, but I already eagerly anticipate your arrival.

You’re my love and my light even though you’re not yet here. When I struggle through days, and I question how I can even go on, you are the first thing I think of, and you are the one who pushes me forward and gives me the motivation I need to continue.

My heart already bursts with the love it holds for you. I can’t wait for the day I see you on a little screen, feel you kicking in my tummy, hold you in my arms for the first time. Nothing will ever come close to these moments; you shall hold them forever.

I hope you know how much you are loved and adored. Every inch of you is wonderful and special. You are all you need to be and more, and as long as you stay true and love yourself, that’s all that matters.

I will love you forever, no matter who you love, how you dress, what hobbies you enjoy, etc. Your happiness comes above all else, and you will always be accepted and welcome in our home.

I burn with longing to hold you already, to hear you sniffle and cry, to listen to you talk and sing. You have a voice, one with so much importance and you deserve to be heard. Stand up for what you believe in, I will be right behind you all of the way.

I hope you find your way in this world, and I hope you love your life as much as I love you. Whenever you need me, I will always be here, no matter the time or place. You’re my baby girl and you will always be my baby girl, even if you have children of your own.

There is so much more I wish I could say, so many things to tell you. However, I’ll leave it at this for now. You’ll know it all when you’re with me, I promise.

I’ll be waiting for you until the day we meet, my sweet angel.

I love you so so much, you’ll always have a place in my arms.

Love, Mom.

“Emotions can be a difficult thing to handle. They can go from their greatest peaks to their lowest lows within the blink of an eye. However, your emotions are not a bad thing. They are part of you. They are a part of the human experience. They will be there no matter what. Thus, it all depends on how we control them. How we use them to grow. How we develop from them. Don’t ignore your feelings. Instead, channel them. Use them to reach a greater state, your biggest goals, and your highest self.”

mirror

Mountains peeking above the fog after the rain is a sight that takes your breath away. Until you see it too often. Once you see a beautiful sight too many times than it just becomes another image in your mind. You no longer stop and take in all the marvels you see. If you see too many sunrises and sunsets then it just becomes 6 o’clock. You’ll find yourself no longer watching the invisible artist paint the sky.

If you see mist stretching over a lake each day, soon you’ll just see it as an early morning. The miracle of childbirth becomes another crying baby, love becomes two naive young souls, and joy becomes a rare sight to see.

Like when you look in a mirror for too long, and you no longer see yourself there, only every single insecurity glaring back at you with the eyes of many demons. You no longer see everything you love about yourself, only the parts you wish to change. Everything that you’ve ever been insecure about sits in the mirror like an open book, every small flicker of your eyes turns another page. You no longer belong to yourself, your mind is held prisoner by every racing thought.

How many mass shootings as we going to have to go through before something is done about it?       Mass shooting: a mass shooting is defined as in incident involving multiple victims of firearms-related violence When I wake up and the first thing I hear about is a mass shooting that occurred the night before, how does that set the tone for the rest of the day? When the mass shooting took place at a school, then how am I supposed to sit through my classes, knowing that somebody else died in theirs?       School: a school is defined as an institution for educating children If a school is meant for education, then why have they turned into a shooting range? How are we supposed to learn if there always seems to be an impending threat that an active shooter could be in a school somewhere else?       Shooting range: a shooting range is defined as an area provided with targets for the controlled practice of shooting       Active shooter: an active shooter is defined as an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area This problem with mass shootings has gotten out of hand, and not many people seem to notice the growing problem       Problem: a problem is defined as a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome On November 6 of last year, the New York Times released an article entitled 511 Days, 555 Mass Shootings, Zero Action from Congress. In the article, it highlighted every single day in which a mass shooting took place, starting at Orlando and ending with the church in Texas. In the relatively short time span, there were more mass shootings than there were days, so now tell me there isn’t an issue, and I will give you a mirror and show you a liar. This makes me afraid to come to school. I am afraid to be in what is supposed to be a safe environment. I am worried that my school could be next.       Fear: fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat Nobody likes the feeling of being afraid, but all this fear wouldn’t be here if something were done of the problem. So far this year, there have been 30 mass shootings. The one that happened yesterday was the first one to make the news where I live, and that thought terrifies me. If my school were to have an active shooter, would people know, or would we just be another statistic?      Statistic: a statistic is defined as a fact or piece of data from a study of a large quantity of numerical data

lost

I feel lost. lost in a crowd of people, unable to find my way home. I can’t seem to find an exit, no matter how hard I look. there’s a familiar nagging feeling in the back of my mind that never seems to cease. it’s always there, always waiting. waiting for moments likes this. moments when my guard slips, leaving me vulnerable. moments when I’m searching for one thing in particular, and I can’t see anything else. I’m too busy searching for a way out to notice any familiar faces. too busy focusing on one thing to notice what’s right in front of me. it’s moments like these when I need to find my inner peace and serenity, but all I can seem to find is loss and pain and sorrow. I’m trying to find hope, but hope seems to be trying to flee from my hands, and what are we supposed to do when hope is just a little too far away to grasp and hold onto?

Pain does kill you. It kills a version of you that you do not need anymore, to birth a more powerful you from its terrible flames. How else did you think your phoenix wings grew?
