i like to think of people as places

I like to think of people as places.

I was just thinking about how when we spend a lot of time at a place, we know how to move around it by heart. I still know my way through my old school, my childhood house, through my childhood friend’s house that I haven’t seen in years, and through the store I used to go to when I was a kid. And even if I tried, I don’t think I could ever forget. Even if I never step foot in any of these places again, I’d know where to go, and how to move around it and find the things I want.

And isn’t it like that with people, too? I don’t think anyone changes so much that you wouldn’t be able to move inside of them like you used to. I think the essential parts never do. So I wonder, if I could take all the people from my past, and turn them into places, would I know where to go?

I’d like to think yes. I’d like to think that that is one of the things that stays with you, once people are gone, like a map. Are the things that once decorated the walls inside of your body untouched? Have they been replaced, moved, or are they still the same? The same things that made me love you? Will you let me roam around you, and see if I find my way back to your heart? Or will you leave me wondering for the rest of my life, hoping that I'm never lost?

I'm afraid to get used to being happy

I'm afraid that our connection is too strong

I'm afraid that I'll be happy every second you're around and you'll have that power over me

To take it away and crush my soul

I'm afraid that we'll actually be fucking great together

And I wouldn't know what to do if you changed your mind and left

...Or died

I'm afraid that if I let myself be with you

I won't be able to care about anything else in the world anymore

Dedicate your heart

I used to believe

The world was black and white

The bad and the good guys

Easily to divide

But life isn't this easy

Sometimes it's cruel

Plays with our emotions

Turning us into fools

To keep fighting

You need to be drunk on somethin'

It needs to be this one thing

That keeps us sane

In times of madness

You may be a hero

And a villain at the same time

But only you can decide

What feels right in your mind

So dedicate your heart

For goodness all around

'Cause the world is cruel

And yet so beautiful deep down

Your love is all encompassing

Like a raging bonfire made sticky with smores and laughter

Like the fireworks that pierce the night sky with brilliant light

Like the steam wafting off a bowl of soup in our hometown restaurant in winter

Like the ripples of rain spattering in the parking lot potholes

Like the warmth of your hand in mind as I drag you along towards the book aisle

Like the blanket that covers our laps as we eat dinner and laugh at terrible movies

Like the late night drive with our favorite music blaring

Like the look in the eyes of the old cat behind the glass that we can't afford to take home

Like the stuffed animal that has never left my bed since I was born no matter how old I grow

Like the myriad of colors dancing across the sky at sunset

Like the sounds of a hundred instruments filling a music hall

Like the lapping of water against the river's shore

Passionate, comforting, beautiful, calming,

Full of compassion and empathy.

Your love is everything to me.

🎭🕯️ Curtains 🕯️🎭

Who are you behind the curtains?

When the light begins to fade, and you are free to exit the stage

Relieved of the pressure of a persona you display

Who are you behind the curtains?

In the darkness and the solitude, with no one to entertain

Free from prying critical eyes, where feelings become plain

Who are you behind the curtains?

When the mask is free to fall

Do you ever look in the mirror and with horror, wonder if you ever were wearing a mask at all?

~Po

Inspired by a conversation with @doreen090

At the ripe age of 17, I witnessed my first cruelty of being honest.

My dear, why do you continue to willingly choose the life of suffering?

If art should disturb the comforted than let my honesty be art.

Even if my way is wrong, my principles will always remain right.

Dear God, why do you continue to let the good people suffer?

Hasn't he suffered enough?

HASN'T HE SUFFERED ENOUGH?

HOW MUCH MORE MUST YOU TAKE

How much longer must I see him in agony?

I don't know how I got here, but I've stumbled upon the chapter "The thesis of Aramis" and after reading it I must admit that unfortunately I want him carnally.

#He is pathetic. He is hypocrital. He is constantly doing something to his hands and ears to appear pretty. He is a liar #He is honest about god and poetry. His listed occupations on Wikipedia are 'Musketeer. Abbé. Plotting'#What's not to like? xD #I read him discussing the hands/hand/fingers thing and afterwards what he *wanted* his thesis to be #About giving God also good things and such #And goodness I was giggling like a teen xD #When he made that comment about the world and the shadows and then D'Artagnan mocked him with a letter I wanted to die xD #The hilarity of the 180° shift. So real. My friend who wanted to become a priest also worked this way xD #Anyway‚ I had my suspicions but the more I read the more I have them unfortunately proved true #If Aramis were to flirt with me‚ it would work 😔#Rakes and womanisers are fun in books because it's always hilarious and they're always a bit pathetic and cute #But unfortunately I must admit this time it would work and I don't like it but what a pleasure of a character to read nonetheless haha #D'Artagnan was so much fun in this chapter too #I was reading something else but I may start this book instead #As always I say 'carnally' in a very lax way‚ as a way of speaking #But also probably this time it's a tiny bit less lax than usual xD #I should probably delete this later #The hypocrisy of this man for real hahaha I can't stop laughing #I talk too much #I just remembered the shit friend he is xD I'm not even talking about the 'you will all be nothing to me when I get into the church' line #(which is what happens‚ I've read the ending and apparently he just disappears and doesn't write)#But how D'Artagnan is empathising with him and opening up to him telling him that he understands him and that he too is sad and anxious #whike suffering in silence all because the woman he loves has disappeared and may be dead‚ and Aramis replies he's lucky 😂#'Oh if you don't have news that means she is dead. Unlike me‚ that don't receive news because...' (because the woman broke up with him xD)#And he only shuts up because he is embarrassed! The nerve! xD #Like‚ I get what you're saying and I even agree in some ways. But man you can't just tell that to the kid xD #I had read he was a good friend despite everything. I want to believe that but this exchange was a... terrible clumsiness haha #What a joy of a chapter. I can't believe I'm into him xD #And yet it makes all the sense in the world! He is so my type of character

My mum said “when you grow up, promise you won’t play with her heart.”But mum my heart plays games with me too.

Words don’t seem enough to say this

But I can’t help but reminisce

The things which broke me down

Taught me nothing at all

Heard some laughing when I turned around

Couldn’t break down these walls

Can someone prove to me love is real

And tell me this is how it feels

Always had two paths in front of me

But never took the risk

- Is it true ?

Atheists are human. Believers in Christ are human. Just because we are different doesn’t mean we are not human.

We have thoughts, ideas, reasonings, justifications, rationalizations and then some.

We dream, we believe, we hope, have faith and love.

We have families and friends. We share, we care, we help and support; we bring laughter, smiles, truths and blessings.

So just because we see things differently doesn’t mean we are not human.

Respect reveals our humanness.

Disrespect alienates us as humans.
