Enemies to lovers, but we’re stuck in that awkward middle where we’re just kind of annoying to each other.

You can always start again. Clean out your social media. Create a new account for your new taste in music. Study or work in a new city. Start socialising with new people. Choose a new signature scent and style and purge the outdated parts of yourself. If you don’t like where you’re at, but you don’t know what to do about it - try starting again.

Anteros

Anteros è il Dio dell'amore corrisposto; altri esperti dicono dell'amore invece non corrisposto e quindi “vendicativo” ed altri ancora (anche) dell'amore omosessuale. Fratello di Eros, i due erano inseparabili; una storia pervenutaci, a sostegno della prima opzione, narra che un giorno Afrodite si lamentò con la Dea Temi del fatto che il piccolo Eros non crescesse, così la saggia Temi le rispose che Eros non sarebbe mai cresciuto finché non avesse avuto l'amore di un fratello. Afrodite si unì ad Ares e generò Anteros e da quel momento i due fratelli crebbero insieme, ma ogni qualvolta Anteros si allontanava da Eros, quest'ultimo ritornava bambino. Questo tenero e pedagogico racconto insegna che l'amore (Eros) per crescere ha bisogno di essere corrisposto (Anteros). (Wikipedia)

You were born from the earth. You must water yourself with love and compassion, feed your soil with learning, pick out the weeds of doubt and fear, allow yourself the sunlight of quiet contemplation.  You can’t just sit and wait for flowers to grow; tend to yourself, and watch how quickly you flourish.

What is my biggest lie? That I’m not lonely. For a while I thought my biggest lie was that I was ok. I have nothing without connection. Meds change nothing. Money has changed nothing. I give off this air of “I’m so secure I don’t need anyone else” but I do. Oh god I am so lonely. I cry every day at the life I fear I’ll never have if I don’t act, but I freeze and fawn and ply. I’m so tired. So tired of putting on the mask. So tired of saying I’m fine. I don’t want to do this any more. Any of it. I’d rather start over, but that requires so much more than I have to give. I just want to escape into my books or movies and run. I thought if I helped others I’d learn how to help myself, is that selfish? What’s the point if I don’t get better?

As the lions gate approaches, we flee the coliseum in hope renewed. We who triumphed, and we who perished. The ground trembles as our legs brush in transit. A glamour? No. There is only the apparition that once smelled of sage. A whisper between your thighs.

thinking about the casual intimacy of showing someone you love an unfinished work of art, the underlying message saying, i trust you with my unpolished heart

“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”
