TumblinForDays..

I love pictures that make you stop and think.. The ones that remind you of the past.. The ones that really capture the whole moment. The moments you thought you'd never catch.. A picture holds that moment, but it also does so much more. It also comes with all the memories of that moment. Things you say you'll never forget eventually fade, and you do just that. You start to forget, but the moment you look at that photo, all of the memories come flooding back, all of them. The good and the bad, it's up to you and how you decide to capture that moment and remember it.. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I believe a truly amazing photo will leave you speechless.

Revelation

We are born into a world with our eyes shut, 

Finally opening them after nine months of beginning,

Seeing everything for the first time, light, people, faces.. the face that belongs to the beautiful sing-song voice we heard everyday thus far…

We grow and we learn, downloading images to our brain, everything we see seems to be something new… More and more we become just that, more. We push through life knowing only what we know, and never what we don’t, our life simply a bittersweet poem… We’re all born with a thirst for knowledge that can never be entirely quenched and every new door we open leads to two more.

We choose door after door and path after path, turning the knob slowly into something unseen and something unknown.. 

Constantly absorbing all that we come across, constantly pushing but never stopping to ponder all that we’ve gained until the moment that we do… 

Reaching for the next door… We stop, for the very first time and wonder… What’s behind the other…? What was behind the last? The one before that and all that were to follow.. we backtrack a few and take the opposite, all new territory, completely untouched, only to find that what’s behind these contradicts what we’ve learned stepping through the others… How could this be? How can we be seeing the world in two different ways, three, four, a thousand alternate ways…

When we stop and see there’s more than what our eyes first met. We think about what else we’ve seen, and how perhaps, it isn’t exactly what we’ve seen…

I love how the second I open the Tumblr app, it's like I'm in another world filled with millions who understand me, deep emotions, and the most adorable kitten GIFs the likes of which Instagram has never seen.

Proud to serve, and thanks to everyone else who has served and sacrificed.

"..Each day it becomes harder to discern reality from fiction.  I find myself remembering us, but as time passes I can't seem to tell the difference between what were memories and what were dreams. In the end it doesn't really matter though, because now dreams are memories and my memories are in my dreams. Every night, every moment we had finds it's way to the top as i fall asleep, from the day I first laid eyes on you to the day I looked in your eyes with regret, as I knew it would be the last."

Gardens

"It's true what they say, the moment you fall in love, you see it in your eyes. I still remember the day I saw it in hers, when I felt it in the way she stood closer, the way she held my hand, even in the way she spoke to me. She grew a garden inside my chest, and it flourished with love and a burning light. But as do all things, one day the garden began to die, the light didn't burn so bright, and I was left empty inside. The day I felt the last petal fall from the final dying rose was the day I saw she had empty eyes, empty kisses and an empty voice... She walked a step ahead, she didn't wait for me to open doors, she said goodnight without an "I love you." But though I was dead inside now, she was the one I felt bad for, because now I saw that she was never alive inside herself, there was no garden, no light.. Only demons she tried so hard to hide.."

Everlasting

What is everlasting? We hope for so many things to be, But nothing is, seems to be the reality, What we wish for to last, Always finds it's way into the past, That high form last night's party, the girls, the drugs, the alcohols. Lasts only through the night, until the last partier falls, The rush of a first kiss, Something you'll never miss, Graduation day. High school didn't last. College starts, you want that lifestyle never to end, You try to keep it up afterwards but it's only pretend, That girl you spent years with, Said she loved you but 'twas only a myth... What IS everlasting? We want to believe that love lasts forever, Making love last is man's greatest endeavor.

Throwback to the good days...

Urban beauty.

You.

You were the lightning that shot through my veins and ignited my soul. Your image burned into my mind like a thousand eternal suns. Filled with more mystery than stars in the night sky, I could never completely comprehend you or your exquisite finesse. To me you were heaven on Earth, you filled me with a joy I had never felt before and you taught me how to truly love, but you... Full of a sadness that never left your eyes. Like you could never find your place or a happiness you deserved, and I tried to give you it all but it was never enough to start that fire in your heart that you needed, and now I'm left to walk endlessly without you.. With a sadness in my eyes.. And fireless heart.

Forgetting you

I lie here, my minds racing, Taking shots, vodka chasing,

My minds blank, Yet it’s full of you, To the bottom I sank, Of the ocean blue.

Down another drink just to clear my head, To forget you and move on, Better stop before I end up dead, But I can’t till this bottles gone.

You kept me whole, You kept me sane, You took my soul, You gave me pain.

An empty shell, That’s what you left behind, I see you’re well, I wish life would rewind.

I’d beg you to stay, I’d hold you tight, Change my ways, Till everything’s right..

Give me this chance, Take my hand, we’ll take a leap, Give me this dance, Save me before I do more than sleep…

I miss...

I miss the days when a whispered, “i love you” made you melt, I miss the days when my love for you was all I felt..

I miss the nights we spent together, Dreaming we’d be together forever…

Remember when we’d talk all night, Remember when it felt so right? I miss having you there for me, On the nights that I could barely breathe..

I miss hearing your siren song, Pulling me in didnt take long.. I miss the way you kiss my neck, Girl you just make me an emotional wreck..

Remember when you found me, A lonely sailor lost at sea.. You were my northern star, With you it never felt far..

I was out, alone and on my own, But now I had you to call home.. I miss those nights under the stars.. I miss driving our fast cars..

As long as it was with you, I didn’t care what we would do. I miss sailing in clear skies, Telling you how my love never dies..

I miss it all to the moon and back, When I see you, my heart’s under attack… I miss all the silly things you do.. But I think most of all.. I miss you.

[tumblinfordays]

The twinkle of an innocent eye.. The protection and comfort of a blanket.. The commitment of a wedding ring.. The rebellion of a nose piercing.. The hair covered eyes of a secret hurt.. The beauty of a siren.. The bags under your eyes of another sleepless night.. The darkness of depression.. But the soul of a fighter. @smile-awhile-for-me

My life is an incomplete puzzle, and it seems you're my missing piece...

What happened to unconditional love.
