And as I knelt next to her, my heart on fire

I whispered

Whatever your soul is made of my darling - mine is made of the same stuff

- on truely being in love

it can't quite explain this feeling

I've heard so much about mending broken hearts, with time, with love, with the right person

but I never hear about the hearts that are so shattered they can never fit back together

I never hear about the hearts that have been betrayed and tormented countless times

I never hear about how guarded and closed off our hearts become, and how truly nothing feels as though it can break through

I never hear about how deep, whirl wind, soul tied love feels impossible - is my heart even capable anymore ?

I never hear, about hearts like mine

the idea of

f a l l i n g

through life, rather than living

the thought of my only goal to be to get to the end of the day

the week

the month

merely being alive, rather than truly living

this is what scares me the most

if only I'd listened to what I once apparently knew

The capacity to be alone gives one the capacity to love. Only when you are full within yourself can you love and treasure another, while still granting them requited freedom.

Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, as it is not given by the other.

Growing up is so incredibly strange

How can every thing change but really it all feels the same

I see other people changing - do they feel static inside like I do? do their same anxieties continue to swirl from what seems like decades ago? do they get told they've grown up only to see their inner child in the mirror

how can you go from loving someone gentle, loving and pure

to loving a narcissist, someone angry, a user

I will never know

I have potential

if I lost weight, took up running, wore a waist trainer

I have potential

if I doll up my face, curl my hair, get my eyelashes done

I have potential

if I flaunt my tits and wear short skirts

suck up to men and bat my eyelashes

moan during sex and fake my orgasms

I have potential

but I am, myself, raw and plain and tired

I am not enough

Part of me dreams to live on the moon, to see a sunset from another world entirely. I’d imagine the most quiet silence possible, if the makes sense. I’d imagine it would be so calming, but maybe lonely.

Part of me dreams to live on the moon, but I would miss the moonlight.

“All kids are impatient from time to time. Some kids have a harder time waiting their turn than others.”

Waiting is unlike anything else. The creeping feeling up your soul, reminding you that not yet; it it coming, but not arrived. There is still more to come.

That feeling, that there is more ahead but we need to only wait. That feeling keeps me alive.

"pain shows us how great happiness can be"

No. Pain tears us down, wears us thin and dangles happiness before us before ripping it away. Whoever thought that pain is a door for joy does not know true despair. They has never crumpled underneath the worlds weight, and felt less significant to the ones they love than the dirt beneath their feet.

Feel that, my love, and you'll never be able to feel truly happy again.

Why do love and fear appear to be connected

Why can I not feel one without the accompany of the other

feeling so aggressively alone, as if my soul has left my body and I am left as just a shell, to be molded and used by others as they please

It's difficult to describe being in love

But it reminds me of home

Your person is home

You want to be their home

And you want to build a home with them

We are not born to die!!

A song doesn't start just to finish, and a book doesn't open just to close! The feeling of freedom as we belt out the chorus, that is what makes the song worth singing!! The tears we choke back in chapter thirteen, that is what makes a book worth reading!!

We will die, of course, but death is not why we were born. To die is NOT why we were born.

My love we were born to laugh and to love and to cry!!

Baby, we were born to live

When you allow yourself to ponder our planets impending termination, and your own complete and utter insignificance within the cosmos,

and you realise the great symphonies you conducted will fall silent, your battles will be untold, and all your loved ones forgotten,

when you come to understand you even more momentary than a mere photon, shooting through our galaxy,

Then you will know, you have finally gone mad.
