Gosh, it scares me so much how the mainstream idea of love is brain washing us to become co-dependent with someone. Every quote you mentioned from that article screams co-dependence. I look back to how I used to approach loving my girlfriends and its scary how wrong I was. I used to think if I dedicated all my time and effort towards the relationship…

VERY GOOD article my brother!!

Beautifully written — and definitively a necessary reminder. If you will allow me, I’d even say this should be said to every suppressed group, be it because of race, gender or belief. We are all human, all a miracle.
You were the best thing I had ever tasted. So strong and powerful, like nothing I’ve experienced before. I grew fonder of you as the days went by. Taking in a little more each day. I loved you…the way you made me feel…the way you made me think. I was a better person with you around…had me so high in the sky I…
I guess it’s true what they say: if you’re academically smart, you’re next to clueless when it comes to other stuff like love. This is not a universal truth and most of the time it’s not the case, but with you it is.

At a certain point, we all know what our first love will be exactly like. Love will wear the clothes we like, will listen to the same songs that we and are going to be exactly as we imagine. In my case, my love was blond and tall, with the look of a professional basketball player, but…
I cannot create. I have been trying, and the words will not come. Maybe I don’t make enough space for them to come, enough time.
