A love
Sought after...
He is my Sanctuary. I mean that in every sense of the word. This TUMBLR is personal.
A sanctuary is defined as a place of refuge or safety. Other terms that are synonymous to the word sanctuary include: HAVEN, OASIS, SHELTER, ASYLUM, SECURITY, and HOME. All of these terms are reminiscent of my love for him.
There is a science to our attachment, our emotional connection, our undetachable bond. Let me unpack that for a minute.
HAVEN
He is my Safe HAVEN. At my lowest moments he has proverbially re-inflated my spirits and offered me a different perspective. I can let all of my guards down with him without the fear of judgement. I am my truest authentic self with him.
OASIS
He is my oasis. Defined as a fertile spot in a desert where water is found. That’s a shout moment. Why? Because during my love drought he came in like a tsunami and drenched me in his love. I can feel his unrequited love on a visceral level.
ASYLUM/SHELTER
When you think of ASYLUM you think of mentally ill. I know but follow along so that I can dig into this use of language. Best described as an inviolable place of protection and REFUGE. At all times WE consider the emotional level of comprehension when navigating in our daily lives. Because we have this MUTUAL understanding. The level of volitivity is almost non-existent. We are not perfect though, we do have our moments where we fall short, but the individual levels of crazy are assessed and addressed collectively. In other words, we know where HOME is, and after we’ve had the opportunity to sit in our angst we regroup and fix the issue. I love your willingness to fix it when it starts to shift.
SECURITY
I feel SECURE. His daily words of affirmations are powerful. I feel like I’m 10 feet tall and can conquer the world. The security given reassures my place and presence are appreciated and celebrated. He understands my love languages and makes the conscious effort EVERYDAY to speak to me in my language, no translation needed.
So when Lauren described Nipsey as her Sanctuary I took a moment to reflect on a love as great as mine. That is a timeless love, a love that is transcendental or of the spiritual realm. My life partner is my best friend, my counselor, my referee, my twin flame, and the male accompaniment of my existence.
This was personal in nature and may go over some readers heads. But it is a part of my biography, so I hope you read it with your THIRD eye.
