souls

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life” — Bob Marley

viewpoints

Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding. — Bill Bullard

daughter - youth

we are the reckless, we are the wild youth, chasing visions of our futures. one day we’ll reveal the truth: that one will die before he gets there.

a lone body.

don't confuse being alone with being lonely.

I get it

She probably goes through bouts of intense loneliness and erratic emotions when alone, almost depressive but not suicidal. the pain is a release but not a way out. outside of that, when with people, she is screaming for attention, seeking for someone to notice her struggle but she knows no one will ever understand yet she will still call out for help. 

i miss you

i really don't think you miss me, i think you yearn for an outdated projection of who i used to be. you want to relive that connection we had within the time in which we shared. however, you obviously fail to recognise that change is a constant and we are never the same people we were yesterday. i can never be who you remember me to be and i never want to be that person. for today i am better, today i have matured, today i'm the best person i can be at this very moment. regardless of whether you feel i have gone backwards, i've changed or i've moved on; i can't fight change, i'm sorry i just can't. there's reason behind everything and i'm not going to fight against an evolution which brings me closer to fulfilling my purpose in this world. yes it may seem arrogant and selfish, but at the end of the day we come into this world alone and we definately leave alone. it upsets me sometimes that our paths have moved apart, but maybe we need to grow apart to eventually grow closer. i don't miss you, i'm happy that we shared time together, for you changed me for the better. thank you sincerly.
