love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
High School Sweethearts.
High school is the first step into our journey of adulthood . A young adolescent, full of hormones, and in search in finding the love of our lives. Maybe he will be the star of the football team? I wonder what he will look like? How he will be? Going to gatherings with his arm around your shoulders, memories that we hope to share with our children someday. We were young, we came from two different worlds, and we were absolutely terrible for eachother. When you look at a picture, you see the illusion what we try to make of our situation. Could you see The endless cycle that we were to selfish to break? The on’s and off’s? The late nights of tears? Betrayal and lies? We never saw eye to eye. You wanted control, you wanted a girl who stayed home and hid herself from the world. I wanted freedom, the time to find myself, and to just be myself. They say love makes you do crazy things, but was it really love? If you love someone, you would trust them? Right? Not believe everything that everyone else has to say, not everyone who speaks to you with concerns, always have the full story. People talk but to listen to their news is no different then playing an old childhood game known as broken telephone. To love someone is to respect them, right? not to bring their spirits down, and leave them looking like the fool at the party. It’s easy to just sleep on it, it’s easy to pretend, or try to run away from it, but love a two way street. Love is Communication, their will always be that tough conversation to converse about. Love is to want to understand, to listen, and love is suppose to be our freedom. Love is an open door, like that popular song that Anna sang in that Frozen movie. We welcome love with open arms, but don’t forget to leave the door unlock. You can’t force someone to stay, and if you do, it will only be a relationship out of obligation. There is a fine line between love and hate, but the only thing they both have in common is that, they are both fueled by little something that we like to call passion. No relationship is perfect, people disagree, argue, and so on. But if you have to constantly explain yourself, defend yourself, fight for what you need, or have to play the role of dectective. That’s the kind of situation that you have to weigh the pros and cons. Actions speaks louder the words, what we let silde is what we tell them is okay to do. Is their actions okay with you? That’s for you to decide. Is history enough? Could someone really change? A wolf will change it cost but not it’s habit. A person can break a habit for themselves but their character will remain, unless they choose to work on it, daily. What goes against our grain, is what we can’t sleep with at night. We know what’s right for us, but this expection of love we expect out of our partner, we should put that expectation on ourself. Like my nonna use to always say in her broken English, “if you no love you, then who will?” That love starts with you, what do you need? What do you want out of life? That’s for you to decide.

Lost In Love
You ever been in love with someone and couldn’t really articulate to them why you were in love with them. Every thing you thought of on how to express your love to them and for them just didn’t quite do it for you. A love that’s so strong you couldn’t imagine life without them even if it wasn’t with you just their happiness alone pleases you. An unselfish love, an unconditional love, a love and bond that could never be broken. No matter how often you talk, how far away they are physically; when you connect it’s like time froze just for you two. The feelings is mutual and nothing has changed but the date. An everlasting love that will be here until the end of time. I’ve only experienced it once in my lifetime and it’s very breath taking. This person is so special to me and I don’t think he really knows how much he means to me. I read this quote before “ Trying to explain to you why I love you is like trying to tell you what water taste like” I don’t remember where it came from I saw it on IG but I totally agree with it. I’ve attempted to express myself through poems of the way I feel and it still doesn’t exactly capture my feelings 100%. I practically have a book of poems lol. Here’s one of my poems trying to express this love I have but I still don’t think it does my feelings any justice. Lost in Love: Its hard to forget a real good memory. Going down memory lane of time spent just you and me. Good times and bad times that we have shared together. No regrets at all I will cherish them forever. It is an up and down crazy roller coaster ride. But we keep it real with each other no secrets for us to hide. Why I'm so in love with you it's beyond my comprehension. The feelings I have for you has captured my heart's attention. I'm lost in love with you no real sense of direction. I accept all of you even all your imperfections. Is it the smell of you, your natural body fragrance. Maybe it's the taste of you that really drives me crazy. Could it be the sight of you which has taken over my vision. Am I crazy for letting my heart make all of my decisions. I follow with no hesitation to it's unknown destination. Showing my love for you in my affectionate demonstrations. Lost in your eyes staring into your soul. Looking into the future as things presently unfold. Our hearts on the same accord filled with the same passion. I want what we have together to be everlasting. I'm lost in love with you and I could be lost forever. No search party needed long as we are together. We have everything we need for our love to survive. It's not only the air I breath; it's your love that keeps me alive. By Niyah Bailey aka BG BaileyGirl. This person I speak of I’ve known for years and we’re super cool. We’ve both been in relationships but year after year no matter what or when we manage to reconnect like we never left. And the time we spend together is always amazing. I look forward to the next time even while enjoying the present time. Some may ask why we not together if the connection is so amazing. The fear of things changing once it’s made official is the stop sign. Been there done that and that’s even after conceiving kids in 3 different relationships. Some people are great at pretending and can do it for a long time until they feel they got you trapped and right where they want you. I refuse to go through that again. So I live by the motto “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. I’m happy with life currently so I’m not going to stress over something because of what others may think or trying to paint this image to appease others. I guess I’m a sucker for love.

Polyamory
Polywhooodewhate? Most people have heard some form of this and automatically think bigamy off the bat, or " well that will never fly around here" But it has flown, in pretty good numbers across the United States. In rural areas and in big cities, people are ..well loving people. The concept is not new, flower children of the 1960's unite! The poly movement has been gaining steam in the last few years.

What Love Is
Do you know what love is? How it really feels? Do you know when you really truly love someone? Have you ever been in love? So many questions and just the same just as many answers. Love isn't just a feeling, its way more; a glow, a smile, trust, loyalty, honesty, a best friend even, All these things are what makes up love, and in a relationship, these are the most important aspects of it. You can never get into a relationship and question everything about your partner or about yourself, all, because you guys put a label on it, doesn't mean things have to change. Kid these days take relationships for granted and don't realize relationships back then were completely different than today's generation.

Girl of Mine
A cute heart hidden behind a gorgeous face, powered by a beautiful mind speaking simple words, through small lips he wanted to kiss. That is Amira, Steve’s first ever crush, in high school. She’s a chic dark-haired American-Pakistani businessman’s daughter, whose mom was a part-time model and chef.

Legendary Short Stories: My love is a sunflower
My love is a sunflower It was the single most, greatest, most wonderful feeling in the world AND I was living it. Just when I had given up hope on ever being with a woman, there she was right before me. We had no idea of what was to happen to us as the hours and days would progress. To be honest with you, I was just looking for a friend and so . It wasn't long before our friendship took root and without either of us knowing, like a small seed planted in rich soil and nourished with a healthy dose of water, our love began to blossom.

Only Love Is Real
I guess this is a broad statement and is going to be debatable whether or not my perception is right. Love is an abstract thing and it can only be felt by anyone. It is like air that exists but devoid of being seen except that it can only be felt. I have long reflected about life and there’s a lot of insights that’s coming through me about my own experience. I’m going to talk about this from spiritual standpoint and this can be rather subjective and not a collective truth. I may tend to sound philosophical at most trying to explain this principle.
