love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
The girl in the dark
I accidentally made a sound and she turned her head to look at me, even though she was at least 100m away. She was standing on the side of the road, in the middle of the night pale as a ghost. Her face so round it was nearly heart shaped. Pity that those eyes weren’t nearly as warm, black as obsidian daggers staring at me, daring me to approach her, like she could see all the thoughts running through my mind. I on the other hand saw nothing but her. She was taller than I, tan skin to my pasty white. I walked past her and as our skin was side by side it reminded me of something. I thought she was going to say something so hesitated, but not a sound was uttered and I kept walking past, just wishing that one of those long arms would reach out and stop me from walking away from her ever again.

Love. Do you?
Before, I write the story, I want to tell you that this is graphic and would like to warn you in advance on the subject. This is not something to be doing, and I recommend if anyone fells like this to get help IMMEDIATELY! There are people out there to help you! I am here, as well. I want to share my story because I have now known that there is more to love than a lonely best friend. I thank you all for reading my content and standing with me through my journey of love and support! <3

Are You In There?
Before you read this letter I wrote to me by me, I want you to know that it took a lot of courage to address my pain. I may be notorious to some but I have Been made a new. Nobody can say they know me, for I have changed and you only know of me. I can not be classified with old behaviors and “norms” so I had to allow this to happen with my internal feelings as well. In doing so I have found myself the most insecure I’ve ever been in my adult life. Ironically in that the security that I’m establishing will be one that cannot be wavered and will be strong for lineages to come. I feel confident in myself in ways I never thought I would (I have to praise and affirm myself daily in order to do so, but the point is the feeling.... the security is there). I had to turn inward and really sit with little ol’ me and ask her some very hard questions. Here is part of my apology.

In A Different Life.
Christopher and Melissa never planned to meet, let alone date, but life has a funny way of bringing people together. They were both heartbroken after their relationships ended. Feeling betrayed and angry, they bonded over their shared pain. But it was only by crazy chance that they were able to do this. Melissa was dating Christopher’s friend Brandon. They weren’t very close, but they did know each other growing up and often hung out at the same events. Christopher had his own girlfriend, Ashley. Melissa had seen her around, but never bothered to speak to her. Until one day when Melissa and Brandon decided to go hang out downtown and saw that Christopher and Ashley were fighting. They were screaming at each other and began approaching Melissa and Brandon’s street until they were right next to them.

Steps To Healthy Love
Against my better judgement I have made myself another coffee and decided to start typing again. If you've read my posts up to this point, or know me off the internet, you know that I talk a lot about my bodily functions. We can attribute that to being raised by a man who believes the world needs scented fart corks.

What Even is Self-love?
I have to say, I don’t. I’m not talking about the buzzword type of “self-love” we are constantly bombarded with. Not bubble baths, naps and buying yourself that new thing you’ve been eyeing because you deserve it. I’m talking about the kind of love you give your kids, or your partner or your best friend. The way you take into consideration what they want and how they feel. You go out of your way to show them how you feel about them by cooking them food they like, rubbing their back, holding their hand and speaking kind and loving words to them. You listen to them in their darkest times and honour their feelings. You get the picture.

Food Fight
Hey you- I saw a half-opened jar of Nutella sitting on the counter today, a butter knife disorderly touching the counter and messing the surface. It reminded me of you- of my favorite day with you. Do you remember that day? It was forever ago. What a mess you made of the apartment, what a fantastic day. Sure, you might've made a mess of my hair, clothes, and groceries. I never got the stains out of the walls, either. It's okay, you know you're forgiven.

A corner for goblins and men
One of the first conversations me and my partner ever had was over text on their way to help move my sister's family in to the house we now all share. My partner was my sister's friend and we had met twice before this text exchange, but we did not know each other very well and had not interacted overmuch on those two meetings. We had started talking because I had reached the house first and we were simply coordinating plans for the day, and over the course of this conversation they asked me if the new house had any good "Goblin hiding spots." My partner often refers to themself as a goblin and tucking themself into small, secluded corners to get a few minutes of alone time gives them a feeling of safety and control over their surroundings. Not one to disappoint or give up the chance to be a bit of a showman, I began filming and sending a series of short video tours of potential hiding spots for one of such tendencies throughout the house. This whistlestop tour included tucked away corners of rooms, the downstairs half bathroom, and most importantly the sizeable walk in closet attached to what would be my new bedroom.
