Are We Sabotaging Our Chances at Love?

It’s a pauper’s gift, not a king’s demand.

Note: There are only two things I fear above all else: not finding my greatest gifts and potential…and living life alone. Even a traumatic life with insane ups and downs is considered a “life well lived.” Pursue it, Reader.

What is it that we actually want from each other?

Who am I without you?

Who do I become without you?

Without your love?

Without your wisdom? Your guidance? Your power?

What am I without your hand to hold, your face to touch, and your soul to awaken my own…and lower the sword and shield I feel so compelled to clutch?

Without you, I am wholly something.

But…

With you, I am something else entirely.

So, why can’t I find you?

Don’t lie to yourself, Reader.

Love is everything…even beyond a single intimate relationship.

I don’t deny the need for love, companionship, and trust in the unknown.

I won’t.

It shifts the world and it reshapes the human, undeniably.
