How To Know You Love Them (part one):

Now, this is all from my personal experiences. This doesn’t always mean you love them. In fact, sometimes you’ll know you love them in different ways. Or you’ll just know.

-If you can’t imagine a day without them, then you love them

-If seeing them hurt hurts you, then you love them

-If they can make you smile at the simplest things, then you love them

-If you can see a future with them, then you love them

-If any song they suggest makes you cry or smile or laugh or feel complete or any major feeling, then you love them

-If they’re the first person you want to see, then you love them

-If you want to fall asleep and wake up to them, then you love them

-If they can hurt or upset you with just one word or look, then you love them

-If you value their opinion over yours, then you love them

-If you just want to hug and kiss and hold and see them and be with them, then you love them

-If your happy thought is them, then you love them

-If they make it feel like everything isn’t falling apart, then you love them

May 6th, 2017; Tell Her You Love Her (acoustic) by Echosmith Fools by Lauren Aquilina One day, you will love someone who will view everything you do and say and think as art. They won’t mind your silly habit of leaving the drawers open. They wouldn’t mind your stray bra or clothes lying on the floor or left on a random piece of furniture. They’ll find your need of TV and music to listen to while you fall asleep cute. They’ll smile at the books and random objects abandoned everywhere. They’ll adore the sound of you singing in the shower, even if it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. They’ll be proud of you for even the smallest accomplishments. They’ll have favorite things about you that seem silly or weird but, they won’t care, like the nail polish you wear most or the way you say certain words or your multitude of laughs. They’ll find your body, and all it’s flaws, and your “baby face” beyond beautiful and enticing. They’ll listen intently to every thought of yours, no matter how random, weird, stupid, basic or unimportant it may be. They’ll take time to memorize the tiny things about you, such as your favorite foods (and the foods you find horrid), your little quirks, coping mechanisms, favorite anything, memories (no matter how sad or bad they may get), your trauma, your past, your family life, your dreams and more. They’ll kiss you wherever (on you and place wise) and whenever possible. They’ll be able to tell what you’re feeling and what to do or say. They’ll be able to see through your tiny fibs. They’ll hold you even if you’re kicking and scratching and screaming and crying and fighting, just to keep you safe. They’ll help you and you’ll help them. They’ll hold you and say nothing when you’re upset, if need be. They’ll act on what they’re feeling and won’t make you feel guilty for their feelings. They won’t let you go to bed unless you’re happy, even if they’re upset with you. They’ll understand that some days just need to be stay-in days. They’ll love the way you fawn over animals and books and anything and everything. One day, you will find the one and you’ll just know.

March 13th, 2017: It’s strange what smells and sounds can calm or ease us humans. I believe that the smells say a lot about the person and what they have gone through. For me, many smells put me to ease. The smell of cigarettes and cow manure, as well as dirty rain water takes me back to where i came from. The smell of salt water reminds me of freedom and the spirit. The smell of burning embers reminds me of what it truly feels like to be alive. The smell of blossoms in spring, dew drops on grass, clean linen, the sound of laughter, and sound of whispered “i love you’s” takes me back to someone and someplace i used to call home. A tight embrace and a soft smile shows me what heaven must be like.

March 13th, 2017: You’re the soft spoken words of two lovers hiding from the world and it’s prying eyes. You’re the tears of joy at a death persons first time hearing their mother’s voice. You’re a baby’s first cry and the joy and pressure that comes with it. You’re the final hug at graduation as everyone parts ways. You’re the cool surprise summer rain that pours over everyone, washing away any doubt. You’re the rush one gets when they think about running away with the one they love. You’re the gentle caressing and hand holding between two broken teenagers who seek a love so blinding within another. You’re multiple blossoms falling from a single cherry blossom tree. You’re the chill of the wind through my knotty hair.

1. My pain does not equal beauty. I am not beautiful because i suffer terrible pain. 2. But i can be beautiful because i feel pain and have gone through it. 3. You said i was beautiful because you saw me as beautiful. But, as you said, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ Therefore, i am not beautiful until i am who i want to be. 4. You can use many things to hurt yourself but they all leave the same aftermath. 5. You can paint on broken glass and patch over broken wood but it is still broken. Just like you can put makeup on a broken person and send a broken person to therapy or a mental hospital but they will still be broken. 6. There is beauty even in the most broken people and broken things. Some things just are harder to find beauty in. Including yourself. 7. Eat the last piece of cake. Drink the last cup of soda. Don’t run the extra mile. Ask your crush out. It is not the end of the world. It will not wreck your world. 8. The world may be cruel and cold. It may be primal. The world may be toxic. But in it is also beauty and the pure. 9. Once a killer, always a killer. Once a heartbreaker, always a heartbreaker. Once a destroyer, always a destroyer. The term ‘people change’ is most often incorrect. You will learn that in due time. 10. They may not love you. Or they may not love you in the way you love them. All that matters is that you love them and they know it. In due time they will show you their love. They may of already shown it. 11. Bright eyes show feelings more, no matter how hard one tries to hide it. Don’t fear it. Accept it. 12. Sharing feelings isn’t always bad. But, you do not need to share them all the time. Others will tell you otherwise. The wise are not always right. 13. If he makes you feel like art, then you are art. And he is the artist. 14. Love them but do not let them consume you. If you do, you may never be the same again. That can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Sometimes, it is at the same time. 15. Play your cards right. They will prove themselves well in time. 16. Take time. Take time to think through things. Take time to make decisions. Don’t think you need to rush them. But, do not take too long or it may be too late one day. 17. It is okay to talk to old friends one time and go get coffee one time but you are not obligated to see them more than once. You will know if you need and want to see them again. You will know if they are okay. 18. Even the purest people have a toxic side. Everyone has a bad side. Some peoples bad sides are sad or mad. Some are toxic people. If they love you and you love them, you will show your bad sides in due time. 19. You may never be okay. And that is okay. Accept it and keep moving. 20. If you love them, tell them. Don’t forget what kind of love. You may never get another chance. 21. Just because it feels right does not mean it is right. 22. It is okay to do things that aren’t right sometimes. Go ahead. Smoke, drink or have sex. Live. If that is what living is to you then do it. There are too many rules. Its okay to do what is not right. If it is not right but it is worth it to you then do it. 23. Sex before marriage isnt really bad. You get told it is, but it is not. Almost everyone does it. There is a reason. You can not hold back forever. You can not really know what to do if you wait. It is okay to do it, you’re young. Live your life early. Enjoy your adolescent years. You are a teenager or older, you can be wild. 24. Speaking of being wild. Cut loose. Be wild. The harm is worth it. 25. Get an animal. They are healers. Trust me. 26. If you can’t believe in yourself, believe in someone who you can believe in for your whole life. Believe in a partner. Believe in a parent or sibling or friend. Believe in an idol. 27. Literally fake it til you make it. It does wonders. 28. It is possible that it can still hurt two years later. Normally it will only be fleeting. Accept it and don’t let it detsroy you. 29. Your body is not a temple. Temples can weather and fall apart. You are a garden. You can blossom and bloom. What dies, grows back, just like you. 30. Do not procrastinate. It may seem nice at first, but you’ll regret it. Always do your work immediately. 31. The only regrets you should have are having regrets. Regrets destroy. 32. You can heal. You can become new again. 33. You can and will love again. Maybe not as much as you loved them. Maybe more than you loved them. 34. It is not your fault you’ve been left behind. 35. Sleep. Cry. Scream. Laugh. Do whatever it takes for you to feel better but don’t do it in a self-destructive way. 36. Sometimes you will lay awake at night and still love them, and that’s okay. 37. There will be nights where you cry over them, and there will be nights where you couldn’t care less. 38. You can take days for yourself. It’s okay to not talk to people for a day and stay to yourself. 39. Things really depend on your attitude. If bad things happen, they can only truly affect you if you let them. 40. Go on adventures. With someone. Without someone. See things you’ve never seen before. Document your adventures. Experience the true feeling of adventure.

July 17th, 2017; People say that to live is to be living. They say life is for the living. But that is just not true. To live means to be dying. To live is to die. Every minute we get older, the closer we get to our death. Living means dying. We are slowly dying the longer we live.

April 29th, 2017: I hope/know that one day I won’t be so miserable all the time. That day will come, whether it’s the day my last breath comes, which I hope is soon, or just a random day. I know that one day, I won’t have to silently cry while on the phone or in the middle of the night. I know that one day, I won’t have to plaster a fake smile on my face all the time. I know that one day, my heart will truly stop breaking. I know that one day, I won’t have to be terrified of showing/being who I truly am. I know that one day, I won’t feel so ugly and useless and pitiful and worthless and fat and disgusting and annoying and stupid and invisible and insecure in every possible way all the time. I know that one day, I won’t feel left out of everything. I know that one day, I might be able to trust again. I know that one day, I will feel truly and completely loved. I know that one day, life won’t be such a challenge and I won’t have to fear Him(or any of the 3 of them) coming back. I know that one day, I will feel safe and wanted and protected.
