love

All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.

Take a Bite
My lover comes to me at noon. He is my height and heavier than me, a bit of a teddy bear around the middle. He has short, groomed hair like salt and pepper and those dark eyes. Those dark O’Higgin eyes, like the rest of his family, that bore into you when they look at you. He greets me at the door with an Irish wool cap on his head and a full raincoat with the collar turned up. It’s raining and he looks like an old man in a way, but he is only 40. I love this about him. I don’t know why because sometimes he can be so annoying, but this gentleman that treats me with care is something I love.

He Doesn't Know
He is insecure but I don't know why he would be. He doesn't need to be someone he isn't to mask the real sides of him because he is perfect to me the way he is and I wouldn't want to change a single thing about him. He lights up my world like nobody else. He doesn't seem to know but he is the most handsome guy in the world if only he could see himself through my eyes he would understand why I want him so desperately in my life.

Oh, the Idiot You Are Today
You are going to start off with a very basic belief of what your parents tell you. And that's it for the first years of your life. But don’t worry, you won’t remember much of this later anyways.

The Mistakes Made
I've made a mistake. A grave mistake.... I have done something that I don't even agree with. For years there has been someone who I loved, but we always narrowly missed one another. Now, in all fact, our time has come and it has gone. But as of late, we have been selfish, and deceitful. This man does not belong to me, and probably honestly will never belong to me. I will not elaborate on that but we shouldn't have taken the time that we did.

Gender and Sexuality
The other day I was informed by my community, that there was a new curriculum within our school system that teaches about many different genders and sexual preference. I honestly couldn’t believe it, but it’s real. Very real. When I was in school, it was hard enough to focus on Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, let alone studying the new concepts of gender. I’m all for people identifying with a certain group or culture. You can be anything you want to be, but as far as I’m concerned, it shouldn’t be presented to students in a way that they question their preferences or their gender. I have a teenager that comes home from school questioning their ‘identity’ and sexual preference. I find this unfair because in all honesty, it makes absolutely no difference to me. It is a big source of worry for my child though, and that’s troubling.

17 Scientifically Proven Signs You're Falling in Love with Someone
Think you're falling in love? Is there really a difference between being in love and falling in love? Studies prove there's no difference at all. When a person is in love, they've usually fallen. Everything thereafter is the effect of loving someone and being in love.

Love
LOVE The word LOVE is just 4 letters. It is tossed around without meaning by most people. You’ll see it on Instagram “ily” and “OMG LOVE YOU” written by total strangers on other people’s posts. It almost has no meaning in the digital world. I’m no saint when it comes to that, I do it too. It is when you leave the digital world and enter the real world where that word “LOVE” becomes one of the most powerful words in our language. Think about it, people have killed for it. Some have killed themselves because of it. People search their whole lives for it and some are lucky to find it, while others aren’t. Some are afraid of it because it can carry with it another 4 letter word: “HURT.”

Unconditional Love, Vulnerability, and Authenticity (Pt. 1)
I wish you were a little more...I wish you didn't act so...Interesting isn't it, common phrases we hear every single day. We spend most of our lives listening to the ways in which other people wish we were. Authenticity seems a lot like a buzz word these days, but to be honest it might be the only word. I think life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be a little misquoted. I think if we spent less time focusing on what we should be doing and more on what makes us feel alive, the happiness and successful relationships would be at our fingertips. Without vulnerability, can we ever be truly in a trusting, honest relationship? Without our partner knowing who we are, can we be happy? Love, unconditional love, what does that even mean and does it even matter?

Loving Yourself, and Them
There's a strong debate over the topic of lack of self love versus a person's ability to love another person. Can a person who hates themselves have intense feelings they interpret as love for another person? Absolutely. Everyone feels an intense draw or connection to other people no matter what their self image is. Even narcissists, who are completely devoid of compassion and empathy, feel love, but their own interpretation.

Journal (April 26 - May 17)
April 26, 2017 So, I have been doing really well in school. Which, is amazing. I have applied to multiple jobs. Hopefully I get this job I really want. My mom had to get her liquor lisence and she passed the test today. All she has to do is one more thing and she has the job fully.

New Beginnings
For the umpteenth time, I've had to remind myself that there is no one; no one who can do for me, what I can do for me. Foolishly enough I sometimes indulge in the fantasy of a better life, or whatever 'better' means in comparison to the life I lead now. I sometimes let myself think about my future being shared with someone else. Someone else who, as the fairy tales and cheesy rom-com movies would tell you, loves me for me. Then, when the glamour fades, I'm left with the numbing reality that no one can do for me, what I can do for me.

To the Man that I Will Always Love
Have you ever been in love with two people? Do you believe that it’s even possible? This story is about the guy I will always love. Today, I am 23 years old and madly in love with my boyfriend Marco that I have been on and off with since I was 16. Yet, I will always hold a spot in my heart for Don. Don and I dated when I was 14 years old going into my freshman year of high school. We only dated four months but we had a connection that I have never had or seen other’s have. He was passionate about life, fought for everything he wanted, the most truthful man, and one of a kind. We didn’t speak for the rest of high school and we both dated others but he was still always on my mind. When Valentine’s Day came around I would be his secret admirer, I would dress extra cute on the days we had the same lunch, and I would walk the long way to class just to pass him. I had lost the greatest person. I never thought that he would give me the time of day again but years had passed and I took a chance and messaged Don on Facebook. He wrote me back and we had actually became friends and had met up at the movies. Gosh, seeing him again and use being grown and mature was so nice. I remember us meeting at the movies and having a great time. He laughed the whole time. Till this day I regret not kissing him goodbye or even telling him that I missed him all those years.
