RIZQ



Dear Lover, 

Oh to love and to be loved. What a fleeting feeling. There's a clip of this guy saying that Romance is like Rizq and not everyone will experience it and I can't help but agree with him. You see, love has always been something everyone sought and wished for but a few get to find it and even fewer get to experience it. 

To change who you are to accommodate someone you love is a price most people cannot pay. We are egotistical creatures and our pride cannot let us stop being who we are just so that we can be truly happy. Funny how we are our own limit to the joy and happiness that we so desperately seek. 

I believe that love means changing the minute tendencies that we have grown accustomed to and starting new habits that will accommodate those that we love. You see, I seem to enjoy slow music but if my partner, the lady whom I have decided to try love with loves groovy music then I'd have to slowly start listening to the genre. 

If we are honest, I might never like the music but I'd learn to love the vibe it brings to the relationship. Maybe the groovy music is what she needs to listen to as she does her chores and if we are doing the dishes together then I'll look forward to experiencing her dance or hum as she works. Maybe my slow music is what we would look forward to as I play with her hair or maybe it would play as we gossip. Nonetheless, what we love could be accommodated in the relationship and we would grow to love each other even more as we look forward to the adventure of what we have so desperately tried to hide from the world, our closeted desires, wants, and likes. We would be open to each other and love would be truly what it was meant to be... the nakedness of two beings and the comfort of being accepted for we are!

I truly believe that love is very simple but also very hard as it is a battle with self and how far we can go for those we love. 

The question is, are you willing to change for her or him or would you rather continue chasing love with the hope that your ego won't be affected? 


Love,


Thairu.

    "...To change who you are to accommodate someone you love is a price most people cannot pay..." That part got me thinking

SEB'S

Dearly Beloved, It's been six years since I said I'd watch this piece, La La Land. I've been afraid, though, afraid that it might become my life. A line reads that whoever is afraid of suffering is already suffering from what they fear, and clearly, I have become it.  Seb says that he is letting life hit him till it gets tired then he will hit back and that line made me laugh as life has been hitting me lately. A line reads that don't kick a man whose on the ground but life didn't get the memo since I've been receiving my daily share of kicks everyday. You know, life not being as I had envisioned it as a child. Be married at 25 and have cars and houses and horses and kids... and now I can barely follow through a movie as I need rest.  Mia and Seb are what I had and what I craved for so I understood their story. How both of them sought after their dreams and worked towards them but then life chose different trajectories for them and life seemed good but they were...

LIGHTNING

Mon Ami My beautiful morning dew, I have been dreaming about you lately. You know those dreams where I never quite get to see your face, yet your braids dance against the wind, your laughter fills my ears, my hand rests on your waist, and my lips find yours… only for reality to wake me to a life without you. It’s hard. Some days, I wish your nights felt as empty as mine without me by your side. Do you yearn for me as I do you? Or has life’s turmoil swallowed you whole, leaving no space to think of me, of us, of what we could become? I, for one, dream. I wish. I manifest. I imagine our time together will be heavenly, that you’ll: Hold me until we die Weather together the storms of life Won't always be sunshine Baby, we're blends of imperfection Give me your heart and soul Love me like you've never loved before Beautiful morning dew I'll be your shoulder to cry on to I have been growing, emotionally, mostly. I am learning to blend childishness with...

L'amour De Ma Vie!

Dearest Reader, Yesternight I lay beside a woman I desired. She was the embodiment of all I wanted but wasn't what I needed. It took me too long to realize that, though. I may have been so fixated on the idea of being with her that I lost myself in my own whims of what I thought I wanted.  Want and need always seem blurry to me. I always want things that make my heart race, and I chase after them, then realize that I just needed some peace of mind and slow music. But does that mean that I shouldn't chase after what I want? What if that want causes me more damage than I can handle and I finally break? Break because I have spent my years holding on to the hope that I will always be okay, as I walked on a tight leash and a single misstep would cause my death. I have all these fears of finding a good woman. Fears that have no basis since I do not know what a good woman is. Is a good woman someone who resembles my mother? Is a good woman someone whom I love that she loves me? Nah, I...
