love

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

Lost Letters. 2.
I’ve known you since I was one. You’ve changed quite a bit, but so have I. After 20 years, there should be at least a little change. It’s only a natural thing to happen and change should be embraced. While we’ve changed in many ways for the better, some change is just simply out of our control. In a short time, part of you will be underwater which is something everybody is trying to cope with. It’s a change that nobody really wants to deal with, but we’re forced to. Throughout all the change that has come with us over the years you still make me feel the same exact way I did when I was little. You have loved me when I’ve felt unlovable. You know all my secrets, even the darkest and deepest. You were there for a lot of laughs, but shared some tears with me as well. You’ve had your fair share of natural disasters and I’ve had mine. I guess that’s why hurricanes are named after people. Yet, we both come back better than ever. You’ve definitely helped me and been there for me after all the storms, but I don’t think I could say I’ve done the same for you. Some people say home is a person and others say that themselves is what makes a place home. To me, you’re home. I knew this is where I always wanted to be since I was a little girl, but at that time I didn’t know the words to express that. It took years of finding myself and going through some shit to realize just how much you meant to me. More importantly recognizing how you made me feel and knowing that you were my place. Through any and all bullshit, I knew I could come to you without any judgement. You have a way of bringing me back to reality, but without everybody else’s opinions and views. You give me a crystal clear vision about everything, always. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t scare me shitless to think that one day that vision might get clouded. If I were to pray to any and every god, it would be that you never lose your sense of clarity. I recently read a quote that said we have the same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, tying us to the ocean. I don’t know how true that is, but maybe that is why I feel so connected to you or maybe I was a sea turtle in my past life, whichever it may be…I always find myself coming to you for some sort of advice and clarity. You keep me humble and in today’s world of social media that seems like an impossible task. You bring me back to myself, even if I didn’t feel lost. What you do for me is so evident that others have suggested when it’s time for me to give you a visit. There’s this extraordinary energy about you that consumes and calms me all at once. The way you dismantle my defenses and challenge me to think about situations from a different view helps me become a stronger and more passionate person. I feel capable of anything around you, okay almost anything legal. One of the greatest gifts you could give someone is accepting them for who they are with no judgement and you do that with ease. I get very bored very quickly so, normal people would think I would get tired of visiting you, laying on your beach, and watching the sun set everyday, but the reality is I could never get tired of those things. You make me feel like me which that feeling is something I can’t find anywhere else. It’s a feeling that I crave. Some said seeing you everyday would be different than just once in a while, but they were wrong. I’ve fallen more in love with who you are. The people you surround yourself with are some of the nicest assholes you’ll ever meet, which is probably why I like them so much. You’ve been home since I could remember. Thank you for being you and allowing me to be me.

Definitions
I wish my definition of love was the same as yours. When I was little, I always wanted the stereotypical love; roses, chocolate, teddy bears. I thought that was true love watching it play on movies. Showering someone with gifts to show your dedication.

Loving someone unconditionally.
So , the story started in 2018 where I had know this girl for quite sometime. We had worked together at a food outlet here in Canada and we had crushes on each other while during at work. But I was in a separate department and so was she. We would always cross each other and smile at each other every single day at work. And I would always think about her even after work. I always wanted her to be by my side and give me all her love and me to do the same to her . But since we were at work all the time I would always find my way and make excuses to go by her or cross her department every singe day. Eventually when she started seeing me more often at work everyday we started talking. Then once I got to know her from head to toe I asked her to go out for a date with me. Since i made it clear to her that we shouldn't mix work life and personal life or our love life together.

To The Boy I've Loved Before
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before is probably one of my favorite movies to watch on Netflix. So much that I even got the trilogy books and I’m currently on the sequel – social media has the tendency of ruining any show so I’m glad that this movie is sort of in the shadows.

The Cure for Depression
The Depression Cure: As a diagnosed Bi-Polar Depression individual, I want to get this off my chest. Depression is not cured by money, or magic pills. I am a firm believer that depression is caused by circumstance of living life. Sometimes life can get the better of us. The importance of this message is that life deals us a stack of cards and how we deal those cards determines a lot.

Love: The Entity
There has been lots of debate surrounding if love is enough. So, is love really enough? I had this conversation recently and the person I was speaking to said “I listened to a podcast and the person speaking says love in itself is not enough, you need the dedication, the communication, you need hard work to make it work.” Now, this got me thinking, and got me to the conclusion that love is a whole puzzle and these little things, “the work” IS love. The communication, the effort to keep dating while already being in a relationship or even after marriage. The compromise, staying up till 3am to talk to this person, even the money spent. These are all pieces of the puzzle to create that one entity that is love. Keep up with me here, for instance you don't spend money on a person if you don't genuinely care about a person, when I say money I mean hard earned money, might not even be hard earned money but money you could have used for something else something that also brings you joy. However, you chose to spend it on your person and the reason you did that is because you love the person. I’m not talking to those of you that spend money just to get something in return I'm talking about my real love bugs, those of you that genuinely love your person, your actions are fueled by love. love is enough, love and all its little love pieces that make it the entity.

We Never Planned For The Last Moment
Late nights watching the sunrise sipping on liquor and inhaling smoke we never treated a moment like it was the last time.

7 months later
There's something that I want to get off my chest but if I’m being honest it’s easier to do it this way then being face to face with you. Part of my brain is normal and the other part is always trying to pretend that life is just a storyline. So 7 months ago when I walked through those doors we now both call home away from home part of me for the good reasons, and honestly, that other part of my mind was like this just gonna start the storyline. But from the moment me and the one that suspsoly turned you down talked outside and I said your name, being there for something much bigger. Heck I’m one of the first there each time, and most days I am one of the last to leave, and you haven’t been able to stop in for what like 2 months.

im getting older by the minute. i am 20 years old and i cant believe how fast lifes flying by. with growing age comes growing emotions. and i get startled sometimes when i actually feel that i am bothered by something or that i feel strongly about something. negatively or positively. either way. i became really close with someone that had been around me for awhile but we never talked. and when we started talking i swear the sparks started to fly. we talk everyday still and things never seem to get old between us. i really do enjoy every conversation and interaction we have. no matter how grim or sparatic. she seems to complete me. and i feel to a certain extent that at this age its easy to feel that way. when getting to know someone that you really like, the emotions hit you like a train and you dont mind getting hit. ive heard many say that relationships as such end as quick as they started. which is really scary to think about.

Castle Phoenix
Things are usually quiet in our little neighbourhood, with the occasional dog barking or kids playing in the quiet cul-de-sac. But for the past few months, my neighbour, Mr. Andrew Chase, has been acting a little bit strange. He has been receiving numerous very large crates, which he has been opening and displaying on his front lawn. Come to find out, my now nicknamed 'crazy neighbour' seems to be having a midlife crisis. Instead of a sports car, he bought a Scottish castle.
