uncertainty

love is beautiful. love is pure. love is enduring. i’m not sure if my standards for love are too high, but i worry i don’t mean it. i’d change my character, overcome weaknesses for those i say it to, yet it never feels like enough. i want to embrace someone not only through touch, but through the warmth of my actions and presence. love knows no bounds. i want to break every single wall a person can put up. still, i know there are limits to love. love is undefined—it is not a singular, universal concept for every person. i fear i can never truly portray my love for another without everything crashing down, whether due to the walls we’ve built to shield ourselves from the world or to passing circumstances. maybe i’m not concerned about my feelings for others. maybe the words “i love you” don’t quite serve me justice. still, from this new perspective, it’s an affectionate, enkindling acknowledgement to give another—akin to kissing your loved one on the cheek each morning before leaving for work. love: a word that can be used for anyone, whether platonically or romantically. we really should say these words shamelessly to those around us every day. it’s a marvel to think over what true love means to you and how it can vary from person to person. i think this is what makes it beautiful. your idea of love will fit into another’s idea of love. i hope everyone who reads this is lucky enough to find that person they mesh together with.^^

being a lovestruck fool for your long term partner

sincere posting look away if ur not a lovestruck fool sometimes i look at this man with so much love in my heart it feels like butterflies again. i have best friends, of course. i love them so much and they will be in my life forever. but in these moments i’m struck with the thought “you are truly my best friend.” in past relationships, i’d try to force that feeling. now, it really does just occur to me. i get so excited for forever with him. most days, it’s not like this. most days we’re just together and there’s no stress or worry about our relationship. we’re just two people together, happy and that’s that. i am so used to this kind of love, it’s become my normal. but some days, i am struck by how in love i am and how lucky i am. the first time i realized this was forever, a part of me felt weird about that. i had to say goodbye to the part of me that loved first dates, first kisses, and the ‘will they won’t they.’ Forever was always what I was looking for, but when presented with it, I worried about never feeling that way again. Anyway, I don’t get first date feelings now, and I’ll never kiss someone new. But this feeling is so much better. He’s asleep right now, and I cannot wait for him to wake up so I can spend another day laughing with him.

getting your heart broken

this has probably been rec'd before but even though i am horribly sad i am also deliriously happy to have met someone so amazing and connected to someone more deeply than i ever really have before, even if for a short time. it's like the priests speech in fleabag when he says "when you find someone you love it feels like hope" , i think that's what it felt like meeting this person, like hope. seeing so many of the most human parts of myself that i often dislike most about myself reflected in another person, and seeing it all as beautiful, and learning that the weird or embarrassing little things that you think only you have experienced have actually been experienced by someone else too. It seemed to happen so quickly and I thought maybe I was crazy, but maybe it was just part of the natural progression of us, like how some flower species might pollinate faster than others. and now i see their name and the things i learned from the relationship everywhere. It’s like in elementary school when you learn a new word, like “Boat,” and suddenly boats seem to appear everywhere, where before the concept of a boat would’ve just been a distant floating speck or an invisible blankness

impostor syndrome

confession time !! I feel extraordinarily mediocre at everything I do. it’s everywhere: english class, hockey practice, every social interaction I’ve ever experienced. I always hear “you’re doing just fine”, but that feels like what they say to 8 year olds who can’t read yet. it’s like Im always 1 step behind being “impressive”. why do I want that for myself anyway? I choke on the feeling of being average so viscerally, that I become just so. anyway, if this is relatable to anyone the most helpful advice I’ve ever received on the matter is to shut up! stop comparing yourself to everyone around you! thanks :)

reflections on sex and the city

Currently in season 3 of Sex and the City and can someone please explain to me why these girls keep leaving each other at random events in New York City??? i started to wonder …. 3 of them at the club will get bored and leave one of them behind with some random MAN??? this is how i know the show was not in fact written by women. under no circumstances do best friends leave each other in crowded parties with only one stranger to suffice. do better guys 😒
