Love? Love. Love!

Those who said that love makes the world go round were not lying. Love comes in many different forms, different levels, intensities; different beings; animals, strangers, lovers, family. Love is such a complex theory combining emotions, thoughts, actions and everything in between.

When we love, we open up, like blossoming flowers.. except it is less about the prettiness and more about the willingness: willingness to grow.. We sacrifice, prioritise, sympathise and cooperate. We forgive, forget, understand and move on.

When you love, you love with yourself, your soul, and your thoughts.

Or at least, that is how I love.

When you live, you live as one with those you love.

Or at least, that is how I live.

You see one another in a light that no one else could understand: a light that you need not want anyone one else to see.

You cannot see your life sans this person and you know that they feel the same. You know that you and those you love share a bond that keeps you close even when you’re apart. You know that in someone you love you’ve got a crime-fighting partner.

Love is getting mad, but never giving up.

Feeling hurt, but looking around to see the damage we cause ourselves.

Love is feeling, a rush of emotions that surge at points when you see your lover do something in their most natural state and it drives you insane. (The good kind!)

Love is the drive you have towards something you crave.

Love is when you have had enough but stay for more.

Love is the passion that keeps our world rotating.

What is love but a whirlwind of clarity and confusion that shakes your life to the ground and builds it back up in ways unfathomable?

It knocks your life off course and replaces all that it’s taken with more than you may have wished for.

BUT..

Could you be loved by someone who will, in time, love another?

Could you love someone whose love for you will evaporate, and leave you dried out?

Can you savor a love you know will not last? Cherish memories that will become your darkest past?

How can you fall in love with a being, a soul of gold with whom you envision in your future of treasures untold?

Why would you grow with another, make them your ‘other,’ your partner, your lover, if only just to watch them turn their back on you for some f******?

Can we be loved by a love non-existent? I don’t even know where to begin to look for answers. 

Who are we really if we are not more than a temporary transition phase?

The + In The –

There I was, getting into bed, thinking to myself that I’ve had a long enough day already. Sleep was the only thing on my mind, until I started contemplating posting something. “Do it tomorrow instead of today,” said that little voice inside my head. It continued, “Heater is on, bed is warm, tomorrow is only a few hours away.”

Yet, I felt guilty about giving up on the part of me who wants to see something through for once. I listened to my more hopeful and definitely less lazy inner voice, it made me feel guilty for almost giving up before even starting. My message to myself, and to you today would be…

Try not to complicate things, I thought I’d have trouble writing and waste time just thinking. The thought of how much trouble it might be for me to glare (as one does) at a brightly lit screen in a pitch black room was unpleasant until that positive inner voice gave me another nudge. “Just a little one, like yesterday.”

Now, however, that I am here and already typing I can safely say I am proud of little ol’ me for overcoming what I could have easily given into. My negative thoughts. Moreover, I’ve learned a lesson in the process…

So just to put this out there, to you who has stumbled upon this post. Don’t let the thoughts that are fleeting or fears of the unknown define you, restrict you or scare you out of doing something, anything you want to do. Chances are, the moment you take that first step, you’ll forget everything and enjoy the moment, that long lasting, self-defining moment. The passion that led you to wanting whatever it is that you seek will be the key to demolishing your negative thoughts. Feed on it, use it, let it become you.

As moments pass, faster than you thought, and as things come to end… the drive might settle, but just for a while. And until you go back to that place again, you’ll be left with the sweetest aftertaste of your victory!

Love,

Have you ever?

Have you questioned yourself, your existence in this cruel world that we live in?

Have you ever thought that you are just the same as the balloon a little child lets go flying up in the air, floating through with an extended view of life as it is.

Have you seen yourself resemble a train, steadfast and unaware of the outcomes? Have you ever felt so proud, like a poster in a protest, high up and seeking truth.

Have you ever felt as lost as a stud earring that’s fallen into a stack of haycock?

Have you looked to see yourself pushed up and down with no choice in the matter, much like a zipper or the volume button on a mobile phone?

Do you know what it means to feel helpless like the fallen during a stampede?

Do you feel unfulfilled like a subway carriage at midnight on a weekday?

Have you ever like a fraud, just like an assignment copied word-for-word from google?

Have you felt worn out just like a joint about to be kissed goodbye?

Do you know what it feels like to be shattered like a smart phone screen that’s been run over by a 4X4?

Have you ever felt so confined like caged animals in a pet shop?

Have you felt over-used like the car breaks that squeal when gently pressed against?

Have you considered yourself to be as energetic as the rhythmic beat of a merengue?

Do you realize that you’re as lively as a bustling street in a touristic city?

Have you ever felt so sexy that you shone as bright as a disco ball covered in glitter?

 

Me too!

Food For Thought

Are there ways for us to fight off fear, to get rid of the mind altering emotions; ones that we can’t afford to let control us. The ones that help us create a reality we would rather escape than enjoy. How can we clear our littered minds of all the chaos we pile up as to avoid confrontation. Confrontation with ourselves is the hardest, fighting both sides of each battle, infusing the needs of the heart with the weariness of our minds.
