Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home

I had my blog unexpectedly terminated by Tumblr recently, as I never blocked anyone in case they are wondering. I made this blog in the meantime, as I’m trying to get my original blog back. I will try to find my many followers and will refollow back.

Its frustrating how dreams dissipate like smoke when waking but the emotions within linger like ghosts. Thank God for coffee ☕️🫶

I don't believe that enough people understand that it has to be a choice.

How to love a broken girl

How to love a broken girl. How many would benefit from an instruction book for that? Its easy to love the carefree girls, the “normal” girls, the confident girls next door, but what about the broken girls? The girls with fortresses around their heart and shields in their eyes? The girls whose souls have aged beyond their earthly years? The girls with bodies and minds that have survived wars which would break the strongest of men? Sometimes these girls should come with a warning label. The warning pendulum swings both ways. This warning is not only for how you must treat her but for all the ways she will ruin you.

1. You cannot love her gently. She does not realize she deserves to be loved. You must love her with a force that can crush mountains. You must burn her soul so hot with your love that doubt melts away. Your love must be unconditional and you must show her on her very worst days.

2. She doesnt know shes beautiful. She can get compliments all day and she wont believe it. There is a demon on her shoulder whispering that its not true. It takes a dozen compliments to erase one hurtful torment from her past. Shower her with compliments, be her cheerleader, until your words are her heartbeat instead of her doubts.

3. Chase her. I know we often have the attitude of not chasing anyone. I know it is said to be weak if we chase someone who walks away, but we need to see you are weak for us. Sometimes a broken girl needs to see how much you need her. She needs to.see that vulnerability in your eyes to feel ok. We need you to need us.

4. She needs routine. Broken girls over analyze everything. They notice everything, too. Did you stop asking her for pictures after some time passes? Did you stop using a pet name? Every broken pattern to us means the end of the only thing we have ever wanted and it terrifies us.

5. Smother us with affection. Touch us. Kiss us. Touch us some more. Broken girls have not experienced enough positive affection in their life. We will absorb every ounce as a person dying of thirst demands water. You cannot shower us with enough of a good touch.

6. Be honest and keep promises. Broken girls have not dared to dream much. Every vow made to us has been broken. Every promise has been a lie. We would rather you never let a promise escape your lips than have you utter false ones.

7. Prepare to drown. If we let you inside our chaotic soul, you will be immersed in a madness you will not understand. We sometimes walk the balance beam of insanity and sometimes we fall. The biggest warning we should have is this.. if we love you, it is forever. We will love you with a loyalty that will amaze you. We will be committed and our heart will beat your name. While we are still broken we will try to devour all of your pain. We will be perceptive to your wounds and eager to heal your soul. If we love you, please be prepared that we will forever stay.

I have. July will be 35 years with this woman. Oh, I had no idea how broken she was when we met.. we were early 20s and she was the wild to my reserved, timid and inexperienced but, somehow we knew each other, a spirit connection that felt like it belonged.. had always belonged. Damn it though, she's shattered me several times over the years but I endured and stayed because she was my best friend, even when I was betrayed by her spiraling. Well, we're getting old now and its all new challenges, her sins against me, her life before me, feelings of failure magnified by menopause and regret has diminished her, stolen her confidence and even her sexuality. In many ways its more difficult now than it was at the times she would spiral out of control in previous years. I stay though.. I understand that it would destroy her if I gave up.. she's my best friend and I'm her anchor. I continue to endure even when it is confusing and lonely, sexual frustrating and demanding of my confidence. Hopefully this phase will pass and I can find her again on the other side but, all I can do is be there and hope because I see her trying and I see her fear. I think most men would call me crazy, stupid even because I've lost everything more than once while holding onto her.
