Fooled
More fool me I guess. I'm smarter than this and I know it, but why cant I stop myself thinking about you still? I'm the first one to tell others ways of dealing and moving on from emotions that are damaging them. Turns out I'm not so great at practicing what I preach.

BFF
That person you tell everything to. That person who isn't included in the "I won't tell a soul" category. That person you spend countless hours talking with, laughing with, dreaming with, sharing future goals with, and who doesn't judge (not always or not verbally anyway, haha). That person you can count on or depend on for anything at anytime, no matter what the situation is. That's the person known as your BFF.

Polyamory for Neophytes
What follows is a true story, but names have been changed to preserve the integrity of its players. We had been seeing one another for about two weeks, I guess. One night I logged onto social media, and there they were: three words haphazardly thrown into a comment on a shared music video that Ben tagged me in. My heart raced, it hadn't been long enough, but I felt it too! And his eyes! His grin when he laughed! It was right, even if it was soon. The next night, we shared those words in person. I stumbled right into his empty spaces, and he graciously came to dwell in my newfound empty nest. I had never lived with a lover before, never really felt this way. We stayed like that for two months, cheek-to-cheek we slept. We shared Christmas together. The world was bathed in a soft, taffeta glow.

Contact
When two hearts meet and choose each other, I like to imagine that the ancestors and spirits join together to celebrate that love connection. They gather together in community, fireworks, the singing of choirs, and harps strumming. An idealistic land where we get approval by a higher realm, and it's not something that we see, it is something that we feel. If you let your mind and body want to manifest anything, it will. I can vouch for that many times over. I believe that when you take your eyes from that thing in which you wanted to manifest in the first place, then you lose the thing that you wanted to begin with, and have to start back at square one. I was on a spiritual journey this time last year. It was the beginning of the summer, I was feeling very frustrated, very anxious, and my self-worth was less than 6 feet under. This was because I lacked a positive relationship with who I was, and my mind was tricking me to believe that the way that I was, was toxic. When we feed ourselves these spirit killers, as I like to call it, this truly blocks us from receiving that in which we truly want. How do you want to be touched? I love that this question seems so erotic, but it's not for me.

Untitled Story
Part 1 Melanie “You know I love you, right?” I said as I sat up entirely too fast on the couch. My head was swimming and my vision was cloudy. I let out a groan and flopped back down on to the pillow Jonah laid out for me. Though I could hardly hear anything but the pounding in my own aching head, I noticed the fierce scratching of pencil against paper. I blinked rapidly and used all my strength to roll over and look toward Jonah. He was hunched over his drawing board, eyes fixated on the panel in front of him. It was silent for a while, and I figured he hadn’t heard me stir, so I just watched him quietly. His arm muscles tensed with every flick of the pencil in his hands. Sweat glistened at the nape of his neck, and his brow was furrowed in deep concentration. Whatever he was working on was important. I’d known Jonah long enough to know I wouldn’t get a word out of him until he put the pencil down.
