Love Us If You Dare
we're slightly perverse.
quote
I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.

Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

I pick at this healing tattoo daily. And each day it looks a little better. A little less red. A little less scabbed over. Each day, it hurts a little less. And while it heals, I heal. I think about why I got it. About everything she meant to me. As my skin flakes away, the key becomes much more apparent. It’s reassuring, a daily reminder of the advice and love and mentorship she left me with. And while sometimes my heart hurts so bad, feels so empty, I know how truly blessed I am to be left with anything at all.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Everyone is beautiful. Their grubbiness, their dirt and grime. Their humanity and their fear. They ongoing guilt and bravery is inspiring and admirable. I see their faults and perfect flaws. They are so lovely. Those exact flaws use their imaginary hands to mold every nick and cut, every drop of blood and every scar on the person they adorn. Without these beautiful imperfections we would all be perfect, and what fun is that? Who wants to be truly untouched. Why would you look at a painting without paint? Why would you listen to music without sound? Why would you live without life.

Because it´s only when you’re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it´s only when you’re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the heartache and fear of what life has.
