“I’m so unwhole. I don’t know where all the pieces of me are, how to fit them together, how to make them stick. Or if I even can.”

to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.

“If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.”

— Ludwig Wittgenstein

The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.

"I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give."

— Sylvia Plath

I had this idea, of how I would find love

Like stars aligning, for the perfect timing

Like the universe was battening against all odds that were keeping us apart.

Like yin and yang,

It keeps playing in my head, this idea, this future

I dream of it

and play it out in different life times, as different people, in different worlds

Creating an ocean of possibilities,

Possibilities of love

I wish to never awaken, just to be in this dream state.

But in the end, it is just a fantasy in my head.

If you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, then you get an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow. Such a man has saddled himself with new problems and conflicts. He has become a serious problem to himself, as he is now unable to say that they do this or that, they are wrong, and they must be fought against. He lives in the ‘House of the Gathering.’ Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world. He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day.

I didn't fall in love with you because I needed a relationship. I fell in love with you because in your presence, I found a sense of peace I never knew I was missing. I didn't fall for you out of loneliness. I fell for you because your soul felt like home.

I feel happy today, and I don’t know what to do with it.

It’s been so long since I’ve felt excited about something.

It feels almost a bit foreign.
