“The person who matters most won't magically know you're upset. Tell them directly. Do the boring work of explaining yourself. Love isn't telepathy.”

I read and re-read because I want to continue to remember, not that I had forgotten; no, I remember quite clearly. However, I read and re-read your work so that I can feel the emotion again. The driving force that is what gave me the conclusion I came to, the thought that set this ablaze, and it is a thought that is, despite the fairy tales and movies, one of pain and hurt. But it is true. And that truth, I carry. I carry deep in my heart. I no longer carry it in the same way. I don't carry it as a penance, a stake piercing my heart to make me bleed so that I remember, but I carry it now because I continue to grow, and I remember because I want to do better.

“Rationalism of the self is never an easy endeavour, yet one might recognise the value of self-insight in order to perceive and move forward with sustainable intent.”

Learning what to do with life is terrifying

What if i fail

What if I lose it all?

I just gotta trust ill figure it out ig

Am I enough for you

Now

Am I going to be enough for you

Ever?

Am I going to make you happy for the rest of your days?

Will I make you content?

Or will I muck it up

Like I’ve always done

And make you look for something better?

Even though I don’t pray much these days

I do look to the stars and hope they listen

That the darkness inside of me quiets enough

That you can see the shred of good I hope is left

And love it as much as I love you

[dreams-encapsulated-in-glamour]

I have for the first time found what I can truly love—I have found you. You are my sympathy—my better self—my good angel. I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wraps my existence about you, and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.

Comfort/hurt prompt

They existed in a world devoid of love. Or at least one that was conditional. And they were seeking something more. When you came across them, they were kneeling in the dirt, hands buried deep, nails chipped, burns and scars crossing their body. When they look up at you, tears leaving tracks in the grime baked into their skin, their mouth is slightly agape, and a single word comes out.

"Why?"

Please enjoy an original poem. Its been a while, but I am feeling very thoughtful today. Here is love.

Love

Love is

Love is not just a feeling, although it is

It is a choice

It is this decision that comes, not born out of flighty emotion, but of deep, unsettling thought

It can, and honestly should, be a little scary

You need to be able to love, love!

It can feel like this vulnerability

This...exposure, a cracking of an egg to reveal the inner, fragile membrane of the heart that beats for something more

You need to be able to love, love!

It isn't cinematic. It isn't something to fill the hollow of you.

It is rhythm, a dance, one that people breathe together, its choosing and saying, "I want you".

You need to be able to love, love!

I think there are a lot of relationships that say the words, but don't take action. And that is aimless love attempting to hide in a shadow that doesn't exist.

You need to be able to love, love!

Don't mistake ease for boredom; don't chase chaos if you seek peace.

It's okay if love looks ordinary or slow

Love is a partnership

Love is everything

Love is not just a feeling, although it is

Love is

Love
