love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
you know when you're in love
so this is my first blog and i want to talk about something that every teenager goes through at least once in their life: heart-break. now i know it's not the most inspiring and happy topic, but i just want to share my experiences and how i managed and coped with it, and maybe it will give hope or peace to whoever reads this.

i love you.
"i love you." three little words that once brought me such heaviness. who knew that such a simple phrase could carry such weight? if you knew me, you would see that i am quite the lover, but giving love to myself was such a foreign concept. i would constantly question where perfection was absent and dwell on where imperfection was present. my heart internalized every external force that came my way, my body taking every beating, as blame was projected onto its faulty view.

Love
I never saw this coming. I mean I wanted it to, but I just didn't believe it was possible. I didn't think I'd ever be this happy again. I have spent the majority of my life completely submerged in the depths of being chronically ill. I realize I will always be ill. But for the first time I've decided it's time to move on. Time to take back my life. Time for hard work. I found peace in my past. But that doesn't mean I should stay stuck. Being sick is quicksand, and I refused to sink. But I also didn't fight hard enough to get out. I'm worth getting out. This marks the beginning. Where my journey begins. Where my life becomes my own again.

Dear Stranger
Dear stranger, I hope that one day you find the kind of love I was gifted with. It all started at a party my family hosted for the May long weekend this summer. I approached the first guy I had ever been crushing on this way. I kept thinking to myself how attractive he was and how good of a person he was. I started up a conversation about my failed dating attempts and how frustrating it was. We talked for a while and I felt like I was talking to my dream come true. He asked to take me out, we made plans for the following day. Part of me thought this wouldn’t end well, but most of me was just excited. I’d never really been on a date, but I was excited to see what he had in store. I spent forever picking out clothes that day which in retrospect was really funny. He picked me up around 730 and we went for a coffee. We had a great conversation, and then we headed to go watch fireworks. He drove up to this beautiful little lookout spot on the escarpment overlooking the whole town. We got out of the car and stood in front of the car just admiring the fireworks. He held me close and we talked while the stars shone above us and the fireworks went off in several spots across the town. I was in awe. I felt like I was in a movie. Standing with a dream man with clear stars and skies above, fireworks cracking repeatedly. Sounds like everyone’s dream movie scene right? Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it did. He told me that he never brings people to this spot, that he only ever came alone. I asked why me? He looked at me and said cause its the perfect place for this and kissed me. We kissed and double the fireworks happening. We made our own. I felt like we were in our own little world, nothing else mattered. All that mattered was that kiss and us. He drove me home later that night, and when I got out of the car and walked into the house, I ran my finger along my bottom lip and quietly said to myself, he’s the one. Two days later we returned to that spot, again in the evening. We talked and made out, enjoyed the scenery and eachothers company. I was leaning on his chest, when out of nowhere he pipes up and says he wants to ask me something. Let me preface we are very old souls, always have been, always will be. Very old fashioned approach to life. He asked me bluntly if I would want to be his girlfriend. I held in my little screams of joy and refrained from jumping up and down like a child. So I replied of course, and just like that we were official. May 22 2019. Everytime we went out, or just chilled at home I realized more and more how serious my feelings were. On May 24, we went for a walk around a pond I frequented as a kid. Experiencing it again with him flooded me with emotion. We passed by some trees and had a stranger take a picture of us. I looked at him, and I told myself you are in love with him. That moment took me back to that first kiss, the sparks flying and the reality that didn’t feel real. I felt like I was living in a movie. Narrating the story to myself and getting lost in him. Two days later, we had a movie montage worthy afternoon. A picnic in a beautiful park. Cherry blossoms everywhere, complete serenity. We laughed and talked for hours. I was dying to say it. Those three words. When we finally got home, we said it. Me first and him to follow. The whole day felt like a dream. Everything leading up to this felt like a dream.

Love in the Hood
The very first time I saw him I was six years old , he came over to visit his cousins every weekend and he stayed with them during the summer. There was nothing that really stood out about him , he was just one of us bad kids running through the neighborhood stealing fruit from our neighbors trees .

Good Guys
I've never enjoyed the idea that superhero's usually end up alone because the people they love are always caught in the cross fire. It supports the idea that nice guys finish last. I also don't understand or fully support the idea of a villain finding a partner in crime that may also be a love interest, being a good woman with an ill minded man and the same vise versa. The way the world works they expect us to be following this unrealistic guideline that we can’t be loved and do whats best for everyone at the same time, but, apparently you can be loved while selfishly fighting for your own glory and power. It makes no sense, but it could be that humanity shaped it in this sick minded manner. I don't know if i'd like to think of myself as this unbalanced yet balanced yin and yang representation. So I feel very undeserving of love even though I find myself giving love more often than not often.
