Gravity

Once upon a time, a long time ago people wanted and craved the attention of other individuals. They wanted someone to rely on. To notice them. They wanted to be touched and loved and they wanted to revel in it like it was the only piece of good they had in their lives, the only form of light through all the darkness.

Over time fantasies had shifted, story book hero's have been proven to be liars, statues have cracked and faded, and so has our thoughts, timeless as they may be. Our choice preferences, and our image has simply changed. Fairy tales have disappeared and are deemed childish and immature and holding onto the idea of someone special is wrong.

The thing is, is everything needs balance. It's a laws of physics! It states that in the law of physics when it comes to balance, if all forces push in on a single object, it will not move. It will not accelerate. It reaches equilibrium. It takes two forces to balance. Two. Gravity and earth.

My point? If it's just us, alone, roaming freely, wild, untamed, what is keeping us on the ground? What is keeping us safe and smart? What is keeping us grounded to what we are? Where we are. Maybe the point is, is to find someone to ground you. Maybe we should try to find someone to help us reach our equilibrium, our own state of balance and gravity. If you're messy, maybe they'll be neat. If you are wild, maybe they are tame. If you wake early, just maybe they sleep late. See what I'm saying?

I've just been thinking, that one of the most peaceful, comfortable things in my life is my own grounding. I feel as if my feet are rooted into this earth. Nothing can take me away unless I choose it. I'm not just floating and drifting like used up trash. I'm here. I am standing, despite everything that I have been through. I am alive! I am strong. I exist. I am...grounded. I just simply am. And when I feel like I am about to fly away. When I feel like it's all closing in. I just think of my feet and where I stand, what I believe in, and all of the many things that I am. I think of my energy, like electricity through my veins, reverberating and healing, glowing brightly like fire. I think. I feel. 

My better half is more rational where as I am at times an irrational over thinker. He is a late sleeper when I'm starting to really like the mornings. He is a procrastinator when I am a doer. He is black and white and I am gray. He is coffee and I am tea. I am rain and he is sunshine. He is almost everything that I am not and I love him entirely. All of him. The wholeness of him. He is my equilibrium. He is the form of my roots. My own personal gravity. My much needed balance in life.

From my own personal experience, loving someone doesn't cage you. It frees you in ways that you've never known. It doesn't stop you. It encourages you. And you can still go where you want, do what you want. You just have someone amazing to do them with. And if your balance is just that good? You will never drift away:) 

Infinite and Real

We all know that it happens. We think too much about our current problems for the day. We concentrate too much on the petty arguments and impasses to realize for just a moment how much the person that you are arguing with means to you. And then we sit back and daydream and think and turn it around in ours heads everything that we would like to say to that person. We think about every little detail that drives us crazy in the best and most spectacular ways. But we never say it. We never express it. We say that we love but we never fully commit to the feeling. We never allow ourselves to be consumed in it, taking life and absorbing into our weak bones and brittle parts. But we need to. We need to allow ourselves to crack open so a little bit of light can come in and heal and mend. So we can find out what we are really missing and experience it in all it's strength and beauty for the first time. I want to tell the people that I love, that I love them. I want to tell them how beautiful they are to me and how much they make my life really count. The stars could cease, the air turn to dust, and gravity lift but they will always, still, anchor my feet to the ground. They are my stars, my moon, my pathway around the sky and through this life. They are my breath of stardust, life, and magic and the gravity that keeps me firmly rooted.

And I want the same. Don't wait for me to go. Don't wait for our hands to part. I want to know how you feel now when it really matters. When this moment is all that counts. Don't wait to utter it into the air or scream it to a wall. Take hold. We are in this together. We are tied and bonded. We are infinite and real. For now? For eternity? For our passage through space and time. Tell me you love me. And tell me that you have felt my own love to your very core all along the way. Tell me that this is all what it seems and that we are alive and full of promises and color. I want to hear it now. Don't wait for it all to end. Because I love you. You matter. It matters. And we're here. Tell me that this is all what it seems and that we are alive and full of promises and color. I want to hear it now. Don't wait for it all to end. Because I love you. You matter. It matters. And we're here.

We are connected. We are real. We are a masterpiece. We are in this moment. And I love you.

Beautifully Written

We live changing a little more by each day that passes. We grow, becoming more independent as needy people are often laughed at and shaken loose like a used up toy. We call ourselves experienced. We say that we are fine and train our hearts, minds, and souls to doing everything on their own. Because we will never need anything from anybody. We will never require anything from anybody. We think we are above the people that show any weakness or dependency on another soul. We've closed ourselves off and don't even know that we are the ones suffering. We are suffering because we don't know the feeling of what such intense love can do. We don't know how it feels to banish any thoughts of losing a particular someone because you just can't fathom that kind of tragedy. We think we grow because of the lack of this. This love, this dependency, this devotion. But in reality, we grow with the strength of it.

And we don't find out and swear it won't happen until does happen. Maybe we told ourselves that it wouldn't to get us away from the disappointment that it hasn't yet. Oh, but when it happens, it's like a bomb just exploded in your hands, and everything that you were, and everything that you believed in is gone. Now, all of a sudden you are someone who compromises. You are someone who trusts, even when you don't really want to. You are now the someone that is dependent on the person that just stole your heart. You are the person that you once laughed at. You don't know how this happened. You just know that it did and now you will never be the same. There is no reversing this. You don't know how you will walk out this situation. But you do know that the person you once were is gone.

A new person has emerged with a new and satisfied light in your eyes. Sometimes you are unrecognizable in the the mirror, but you know it's a better you. And you now know the feeling. The feelings of irrevocable, life altering, love. You know how it feels to banish all thoughts of your life without them, because life without them is simply impossible. You are not built to live through that kind impossibility. You morph and change, yet again, not for the first time, and not for the last. But still in every other way permanently. Isn't it simply amazing what effect another human being can have on someone? Flesh, blood, sinew, and one lovely heartbeat, and you simply melt away. And if being dependent is what it requires, so be it. Because we never know how our stories will end, but we do know that with that kind of love, gratitude, and adoration, our story will end up being one beautifully written book.
