being in love is easy hard work

On one hand: it just flows. You can't get enough of them. Your eyes, their eyes—could be the only thing that matters in the whole world. Their voice hits you like electricity. When alone, you wonder why you aren't with them. Mundane things, at their side, become adventures. You occupy your own universe that is a secret from all others. And on the other hand: it is a labor. Your beloved, who stirs and ignites your affection so much, is also the one who most exposes your pride and weaknesses. As you dive into them and truly know them, you discover they are broken and selfish and human. And they discover that about you. The easy slide down the snowy hill of excitement becomes a long drag back up the other side. But then the two of you put those parts together: combine the thrill and the sparkle with the messiness and the suffering. Your together love becomes something deeper and more enduring. You say: I see you fully but I choose you still, with all my heart and soul. It becomes something that will withstand any storms that may come, something more mature and tested: "Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." —Antoine de Saint-Exupery:

Being realistic

Love itself is a commitment, whether that be conditional or unconditional there is always some reason you stay. Even if it's something as questionable as staying for your own selfish benefit and what you can get from them, it still counts.

Vanity of love

no love will ever remain the same… as time goes on the initial feeling fades away, no more late night calls and all that stuff. but still you love this person and now you have to look for new ways and things to do to keep the spark going and alive. its a beautiful but a sad thing for me. because in some cases, some people could lose feelings, end things and “move on” or “find someone new”... doesnt really change anything to me because the same old cycle repeats itself. the first stage is always beautiful, but with time, it’ll probably fade away again. its weird

a poem i wrote

there are things i think are weird  but it’s not that they are actually  weird  it’s that they are unusual  or they bring me a new perspective — one that i’m not so used to — like seeing an orange tractor on the side of the road  surrounded by three men in orange  construction suits  in the middle of the french countryside  or the fact that  at the beach yesterday, the foggy glimpse of land, the island we could see in the distance was the british island of jersey. it made me think about how the world is really so small  and that we, humans, are the ones  that make it seem so big and  vast.  we are the ones that over complicate over think over populate  over build over use  over dignify ourselves  when we are just merely visitors in this never ending universe. and somehow, in some  situations that idea is  safety and  comfort. it’s refreshing  to know that as messy and as complicated  our lives are, none of it  actually matters. because if nothing matters, we can get away with a lot. we can be mean and  crazy and stupid  and in love  and happy and hungry for more and sad  and lively and alone.  but then i remember that “we are not a drop in the ocean we are the ocean in a drop” and we don’t have to pretend that our  emotions are meaningless  and that our lives aren’t meant to be lived  and we aren’t meant to be thought about and  cared for and loved.  the things we feel are real and they hurt. they are painful.  they are beautiful.  they stay and they pass.  just like the fog that covers up jersey — just like the tractor on the side of the road — just like us.
