In the splay of fingers tinged withjagged grey of ash, my father siftsmy grandma’s fired remains.
She promised to attach her life to mine. She swore that she would be by my side no matter what were to come our way. She made the decision that she would partner with me for the rest of her life. She decided that her destiny would be intertwined with mine. I owe her my future.

At 18 years old, I already felt much older than everyone around me. Some said it was due to an old soul, some said because of my parents both being teachers and the way I was raised.

I think that there are people who will care about your desire, but those are the people who have gotten to know you better not those you have just started dating. For many people, emotional intimacy takes a while to build and grow. It’s not there immediately in the first few dates.

I hate admitting when I’m wrong. Yes, I’m one of “those” people. You know the ones, and you probably dislike them as much as I do (when I’m not actively being one of “those” people). I have no problem saying, “Hey, I fucked up. My bad.” But that is a totally different thing than…
What are your thoughts on love as just an evolutionary mechanism for effective procreation within humans?

I’m not denying the validity of your arguments, but I just don’t forsee all these grave consequences you’re so insistent about.

But I think you’re overemphasizing the pessimism quite a bit…

I cannot go and ask her. She won’t understand my language and I can’t speak to her in her language. This morning also…

Life never promised us to be as simple as we always think. But we learn to live it with time. Those who give up, are left all alone in this worldThe one who stays strong and conquer his thoughts become the emperor of his life.

My heartbeat goes faster,
It’s almost turning into a tune,
Pulse is vibrating like a bass,
I’m over the moon.

beauty is the silence
that overcomes our lips
the way they plead
each other's need
beauty is the sound
that overtakes our souls
I met you and it was already too late… You had found both, love and a relationship. Not merged into the same individual and yet, you were confident in that you had already found “The Love Of Your Life…” So where do I fit in?

the journey we all need to take. the path we all must endure. no matter where we start, no farfetched, outrageous, and unattainable something might be, if it’s in our hearts to achieve it…it will be done.
If not thought, then…perhaps feeling? The feelings that permeate through my body through sensations and perceptions. The feelings that let me know I’m alive. Surely, within feelings we can unearth a kernel of truth.

Love, kindness, austerity, and the elimination of the ego are the only actionable weapons a truly hateful person has; not as means to ends, but as gradual realizations that they are the only miracles (all else is surrender).
