I just want you to know that I love your posts! A lot of them is like a stab to the heart with how well I relate, but mostly its comforting to have someone who can put my feelings into words! Thank you!

Awwh, thank you so much! Hearing this really warms my heart. The reason why it feels like a stab to the heart sometimes is because sometimes, the truth hurts. But the truth also heals, and you're right - it's comforting to have someone express in words what your heart is feeling. Sending love <3

Your quick rhythm steadied by my heartbeat as our breaths synced - a dance. We couldn’t be an inch closer, couldn't have enough of each other. My tongue traced your body, leaving you tongue-tied, leaving no skin untouched. Is this so hard to say, that my eyes go soft when I look at your face?

I want to know who you are. Granted, no one really knows who they are. But I want to know the parts of you that you’re afraid of, ashamed of, and embarrassed about. I want to look at you as a whole being, and learn about you without an ounce of judgment. I want us to be closer. Connected. Slashing through the layers of each other, touching the very core of ourselves.

Connection

Thank you for loving me when I couldn't love myself. Thank you for loving me when we fought. Thank you for loving me when I was scared and confused about how I felt. Thank you for loving me at my worst. I love you. Even when you’re angry, lost, or scared. I love all of you. Who you are. At your worst, at your best, and everywhere in between. From the depths of my soul, to yours.

Here's to the I love you I didn't say

Hi! We've known each other for a few months and after 3 months of knowing each other, I realized he has anger issues. He's nice when he's not angry, but when he is, he starts breaking things, yelling and saying mean things (I regret meeting you, I hate you etc). I told him I consider those a sign of disrespect, but he says that it's not like that and that he respects me and loves me a lot. Is it possible to say things like that to someone you love and respect?

Hey there!

Hmm, I really feel you on this one - I’ve had a somewhat similar experience. And no - he is definitely not respecting you, and seems like he’s in denial of his behaviour. It doesn’t mean you guys can’t work it out, but he really needs to work on himself and solve his own emotional wounds that lead to anger issues. All you can do is provide support, but maintain your boundaries (like how you point out that he was disrespecting you). Good luck!

How are you feeling today?

We’re so scared of being sentimental, we treat it like a disease. We hide our feelings under sarcasm and satire and cynicism - by simply being intellectual.

Feelings are downplayed, ignored, and, most of all, used.

They are part of a profit margin lead by service industries, looking to maximise likeability of their brands. Buy our products, you’ll be happy like the people in our commercial. Just like that, snap. You don’t need to know how. You don’t even need to know if the feeling is sincere.

We’re too focused on our intellectuality we forget about affect. What are we without our own desires to be moved emotionally?

I hope I’m not placing my trust on the wrong person this time. I hope you are who I think you are and who you said you are. We’re alike because we both want honest, upfront conversation - we don’t play games, and we get straight to the point.

So I have this crush on my coworker. He's such a great guy, helps out everyone who needs it and is kind to everyone. We became each other's work buddies. He compliments on how cute I look sometimes, playful banter, and we always have nice conversations. Problem is, I think he's just being nice and I'm not even sure if what I feel is just overwhelmed platonic emotions. He's a few years older and is about to graduate university. I'm too scared to act and I think he is too because I am younger. SOS

Hey there!

Being scared is completely normal. I was always scared of rejection, but when I gathered the courage to confess to my crush, it ended well and we’re dating now :) sometimes, you just don’t know how things will play out. It’s up to us to take a leap of faith and just go for it! If you want to really check, ask him on a date first - just you and him - to validate your feelings! I hope things go well.

Hi I’m in a dilemma right now, it’s a toxic friendship and everyone close and dear to me is asking me to leave but I just don’t know what to do, he makes me happy in a way people don’t understand.

Hey!

You’re right- no one can understand your friendship as much as you. Listen to yourself, and ask yourself - is this friend violating any of the boundaries you set for yourself, continuously? Judging from the fact you said it’s a toxic relationship, it seems like your friend is making you compromising your values, the things you deem as important, in some way. Are the short doses of happiness worth sacrificing who you are? I hope you can reach an answer and take action :)

I dated this guy for almost 3 years off and on and I gave up so much for him. We were toxic for each other though he was constantly lying and he was a drug addict we finally broke up after 3 years of talking 24/7 and it’s been 4 months he moved on and the girl left him he really fell for her but she saw through his lies now he’s back trying to get into my life.I started sleeping again, started eating and gaining weight, I even stopped logging into his stuff to keep tabs on him.. I’m so lost.HELP

Hey!

I’m sorry for replying late - I really hope you’ve taken action about this. It seems like you already know what you should do. Put simply, if he has a negative influence on your life and you know it, then don’t hesitate to do everything necessary to keep him away from you. Giving you support and love!

Do you think people have forgotten how to listen and as a result, people don't talk anymore?

Hello!

So sorry that I haven’t been checking this inbox for a while. I can’t deny part of it is because Tumblr changed its design interface, making inbox harder to see.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking, but I do think active listening is an important part in communication. I believe communication starts not when we talk, but when the other person understands what we mean. So when we don’t incorporate listening into the conversation, we fail to fully understand others. From this... well, there’s no point of talking anymore, isn’t there?

Perhaps there’s always a tiny part of me, the 16-year-old girl, who believes that after everything, we’d come back to each other. But perhaps we’re just meant to walk this road together for a while, and that’s good enough.

I didn't know if it was love at first sight, the first time I saw you. But I remembered when you walked in, for a split second, everything else blurred away and you were the only one I could see.

It feels at home being with you. We're still getting to know each other, but it feels familiar somehow - like we have already known each other for a long time. There's this sensation of ease when I'm with you. We can joke around and tease each other, but we got each other's back. We trust each other.

Why do you care for me so much? You always ask how I'm doing and if I need any help. You always support me. You offer help even when I don't ask. You give so much, even though you don't have to. You really want me to be happy. You worry about me so much when I'm down or upset. You give me so much attention. You really try.

“Being with you was like sleepwalking with my eyes open. I was aware of what I was getting into, but I let myself savor it while it lasted. Holding the taste in my mouth for as long as possible before swallowing it down my throat. Slow ecstatic.”

“I saw you looking brand new overnight

And I caught you looking too, but you didn't look twice”

I never thought I would see you like this. It took me a second for my brain to register your existence, but my heart was already sinking to my stomach. You passed me like a ghost, your eyes looking straight ahead. I suddenly felt dizzy with an overwhelming desire to look over my shoulder, at you.

“Flashing back to New York City

Changing flights so you stay with me”

We'd always said we would live together in your apartment. We'd own a dog, take her for a walk every afternoon, and cuddle up with popcorn and movie every now and then. Stay with me, you’d insist. And I would gladly give in.

“Now I wish we never met

'Cause you're too hard to forget”

The longest of seconds had barely passed when I turned around and caught your eyes staring at me. I couldn't forget those eyes at all - the same smoldering eyes that burned through me like an ember struck in the dark. What were you thinking now? Did you regret meeting me like this?

“I know that you don’t, but if I ask you if you love me

I hope you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie to me”

The mantra I'd been trying to drown grew stronger until it turned into a scream. Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me? My mouth started to form the words, but my body won't move, seemingly frozen in place. I almost thought I heard a yes, as I felt saltwater on the corners of my lips. I closed my eyes to stop the tears from falling, my view misted with water. When I looked up once again, you were gone.

Amidst all the hate, we need more love in this world

[tranquilist]

If forever was reduced to just moments, this would be it.

There were no boundaries between time - between morning, evening and night. No beginning and no ending.

Everything was liquified- stretching from one long moment to the next. You’re in every single one of them.
