The Power of Love
"Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place." –Zora Neale Hurston Love. What a powerful word. To love and to be loved is the greatest feat in life, don't you agree? I think it's an important and valuable life skill to be able to love and know what love is. Especially when times are tough, you tend to turn to love for support. The world is like a pendulum- where it swings from good to bad. There's got to be some from of balance, life can't always be bad but it can't always be good either. When times are tough, remember that. You can be swimming in the bad, hell even drowning in it, but you have to remember that those with good hearts always win in the end. The good will always outweigh the bad in this world. Being lonely can be hard, and I think that when you get lonely you open yourself up to the wrong types of love. The loneliness you experience is just utter desperation. When you're sad and you're lonely you feel like it's going to last forever, but it won't. You hold so much power to pull yourself out of that pit of despair. Look inside yourself to find that love you're so desperate to find in someone else, that's the real journey. Falling in love with who you are, is the greatest adventure anyone can ever take on. We as a society are so fixated on soulmates and finding that "one true" but in reality we are just looking to have someone love us. You can avoid the painful process of losing yourself in a relationship by falling in love with YOURSELF first and watching the world fall in love with your light second. That's where a relationship comes in- at least in my mind anyways. If you can't be happy with yourself you're not going to find that in a relationship. The only person that's going to save you from the pit of despair is yourself. Self-love is important, I wrote a post about this about a month ago. Most people have no true understanding of who they are or they let other people and their small minded opinions define them. But you can flip the switch. You have a choice in this. You get to decide who deserves to be loved by you and who doesn't. That's a part of self-love. When someone truly doesn't deserve your love, you'll know. And you'll know not to pour into cups that don't pour back into your own.

Relationships are like mirrors to us; they point out what we should get better at and how we should give out time and energy; they give us the opportunities to set boundaries if needed and learn through empathy.

Echoes of Love Lost
In the serene embrace of twilight, where the skies melted into hues of orange and pink, Sarah found herself sitting on a weathered bench in the park. The autumn breeze danced around her, carrying whispers of memories that once held a promise of forever. Her gaze lingered on the vibrant foliage, their colors reminiscent of the love that had once blossomed between her and Alex.

That Night.....Part 6
"Thank you for the dance," Sean says awkwardly. He didn't know what else to say in that moment. It's now 2am, the bar is closing, and he hasn't kissed her. Without realizing it, he and Zara had danced for about an hour and a half straight. Sean had ample opportunity to join his lips to hers but he had an urge to take his time. He had been enjoying the build of the anticipation, and his ego wanted to build the anticipation so much that this woman would practically be begging him to kiss her. He wonders if Zara is the type to beg for anything. He realizes it might have been a mistake to play the long game. As soon as the house lights came on and the vibe was interrupted, Zara reverted right back to the distant, half-interested posture she'd had when he first introduced himself.

Resilience in the Rubble. Content Warning.
Arlington was a tapestry of homes, woven with stories of love and laughter. Among them stood the Morrison residence, once vibrant with the laughter of children and the warmth of family gatherings. But one fateful evening, the tranquility shattered with an explosion that ripped through their haven, leaving behind a landscape of desolation.
