Where intellect and eclectic intersect

I can do anything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This whole life is temporary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s going away from us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I can do anything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This whole life is temporary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s going away from us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let that sink in; …reread. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can do anything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even the scary things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can do anything, I’m a visionary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We dream it here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are necessary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I build from broken, I break and get better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m bold as f*ck in my nervous failures. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I learn subconsciously.
I eat cake and kale salad. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I practice balance and being honest with myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can do anything…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if I don’t know how yet.
Even if I go it alone.
Or the load is heavy.
If the hope is blurry… I know that already.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even on an unclear path… when I’m so unsteady.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It will be done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m always ready, …I’m ready now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your 2019 mantra?
Have you learned how to fail and still grow? 🌻

🤣 Hello 2019 💁🏽‍♀️ All anxious, but shrugging shoulders.
In my feels… pretty damn cozy.
The best advice I have for everyone going through it?
Get comfortable with uncomfortable.
You’re ok, as-is. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Don’t fight your struggles, own them.

🤣 Hello 2019 💁🏽‍♀️ All anxious, but shrugging shoulders.
In my feels… pretty damn cozy.
The best advice I have for everyone going through it?
Get comfortable with uncomfortable.
You’re ok, as-is. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Don’t fight your struggles, own them.
Love yourself through every single moment.

You owe yourself that openness.

We are ever-changing.
We are beautifully broken. ❤️ Follow + double tap if you feel the same…🤦🏽‍♀️ What are you stressing over but not giving a f*ck about? 🤣🤣🤣 #happynewyear #newyear #creative #fml #memes #funny #lifestyleblogger #lifestylebloggers #lifestyleblog #comedy #humor #funniestquotes #meme #funnyquotes #funnyquotesdaily #memesdaily #memes #lol #fashionblog #fashionblogger #funnyblog #funnymemes #funnyvideos #funny #motivational #motivationalposts #funnyposts #funnypost #funnypostdaily #funnypost http://bit.ly/2Qig4vd

🤣 🤣 🤣 But have you ever… …stayed in your pajamas and heard about how you didn’t miss a thing? …took the road less traveled? Or never traveled at all, and done so gladly? …made it happen, against all odds? …made it work? Made it matter? made it, and laughed at your old self? …had a foodgasm? …had a bad habit and kicked it? … had to take a back seat and had it not actually been that bad at all? …dodged a bullet in a relationship? …had an even better idea? …been right all along? Sure the spoils are great, but what about your mastery?
Your foundation? Your internal happiness?
The kind only you can give to yourself?

I am telling you one thing and then I am telling you again. 🤔

I am teaching and loving and being open again.
I am learning and loving and trying to figure this sh*t out. 😤

I am hurting and annoyed and just figured you’d get it a bit more.
This is the way it gets. 😞

This is the ache of it.
If it’s the thought that counts, you didn’t put any thought into it. 🤷‍♀️🏽 I woulda said something but, everything’s been said.
So I just said ok, meaning, I’m ok on this. 📦 I use boxes both to keep people out, but also to keep people in.
I didn’t buy any stock–not because I forgot, but ’cause I wasn’t sure I wanted a knot tied like this.
This was all for a reason.
I shoulda kept my reasons.
But I got lost in this labyrinth dreaming our evenings. * * *
What do you get lost in? * * *

☀️ The sun is letting out parachutes for attention.
Meanwhile… His word choice mid-morning [raspy voice] makes every morning jealous of mornings we haven’t had yet… and then cold-pressed orange juice and my step class.
Everything else is boring...

☀️ The sun is letting out parachutes for attention.

Meanwhile… His word choice mid-morning [raspy voice] makes every morning jealous of mornings we haven’t had yet… and then cold-pressed orange juice and my step class.
Everything else is boring enough.
And he’s listening attentively and responding like there’s a time limit he gets with me. ❤️ Every time he breathes epiphanies jump off swing sets in my chest.
I land in the sand. Yes.
I land in the sand, and it’s my best life… ⌛️… In the broken hourglass with sand spilling out. It’s all slipping through my hands. It’s all slipping through misunderstanding.
And the words I want to say just choke in my throat, and won’t come out my mouth.
And I don’t deserve how beautiful this hurts,
I don’t.
The only thing I’ve ever wanted was someone who put me first. * * *

Before I believe in you…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have to believe in yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With all that unsurety,
You’re sure to fail.
I know better than anyone else.

I promise there’s too much at stake.
I have so much on my plate.
Dinner’s always...

Before I believe in you…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have to believe in yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With all that unsurety,
You’re sure to fail.
I know better than anyone else.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I promise there’s too much at stake.
I have so much on my plate.
Dinner’s always late,
Sh*ts always in the mail; not yet delivered.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The ship is sailing straight through h*ll but I’m maneuvering it like a sailboat. I’ve got on rain boots and floatees eating kale salad, green beans. And if we shipwreck, when we flip over… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ I’m gonna say it was love. ❤️ You know love always gotta pull a few strings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love from the shore, 🏝
to the cabernet, 🍷
to the setting when we sail. ⛵️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love of what I saw in you, 😩
to the white flag blowing, 🏳️
to growing up–growing old, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
…growth as whole as well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m gonna say that we shipwrecked so we ended up here
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
…and it was one hell of a ride, I swear it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re both lucky to be alive. Barely.
I would love you again and again.
All jokes aside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What does your goodbye look like? Is it quietly bowing out? Is it silent? Is it screaming and crying? Is it doubting yourself?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
***
P.s. There’s no such thing as ”failure” if you believe in yourself. And you don’t wake up every damn day just to fail. 🙏🏽

I’ve met you.
I’ve seen how you move.
Always consumed with your next step.
I’ve met you.
You’re doomed.

I’ve met you.
I’ve seen how you move.
Always consumed with your next step.
I’ve met you.

You’re doomed.
Because you can’t make it through a breath without wondering what’s left after you breathe out.
I’ve met you.
Your depth.
Is a one way mirror looking out.
Your power.
Enough to make most people shutter; cower even.
You’re helpless. But I want you to know there’s a boat that leaves Sundays. There’s a mango tree we can sit under. There’s a lake with a swing—we could go to listen to dreams and hopes.

There are no popups there.
Nothing gets cached.
Everything’s clear.
Love isn’t bad for you. 🥀 You’re just choosing bad love.
So you’re scared.🧸 You don’t have to be a master of deflection.
Everything isn’t about building your character as much as breathing and being at home.
You don’t have to worry about the levels you wanna get to. You don’t have to get a 1 up or save the princess. There doesn’t have to be fireworks and flowers every night, that’s for the birds.
No cake today. Let’s just talk.

I’ve met you.
I should’ve known better.
I’m usually a pretty bad judge of character though.
Let’s just sip a tea and re-learn each other. *

You value my opinion, even if what I say isn’t what you wanna hear, or nice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We argue a little, but we don’t really fight. We debate a lot; say what’s on our minds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can be persuaded but you can stand your ground. You aren’t too jaded by what it is “right now.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I don’t know how to unlove this.
I don’t know if I ever will.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you teach yourself that, really?
How do you teach yourself how you heal best?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is it possible to really stop loving somebody? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, does that mean you never loved them at all? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about falling in love with someone? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you then just fall out? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is it like a delicate dance? Salsa, EDM, or slow? In the rain? On the table? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is it like a “how-to” moment with the IKEA instructions? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is it to be structured and held in a box and controlled for protection and personal growth? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How does love feel inside of your pocket? Should I make a locket of you?
Put you in my old sock drawer, hope I meet someone new I can show around my soul.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know… someone like you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Someone who knows better already.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who knows what not to lose. What not to do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He knows what’s up so he’s gonna play harder. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*Who knows what he wants and doesn’t stutter the starter.*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want someone who wants to play hard, work harder, dream loud, but make smarter decisions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All I really wanna know is why didn’t you just pick up the phone and call me?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.s. It woulda made all the difference.

Who haven’t you talked to in a while? Tag them! Say hi.

The way a person thinks is the most important thing to me. I want to see a person correct his or herself. I want to see a person grow and learn and accept a fault. I want to see *the way* a person fails, or prevails. Because we all do.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And not because I need them to do it gracefully or ”my way, ” but because I’m studying the way they work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want them to know they don’t have to have an unconditional love or acceptance, but they do have to love my mission. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More than anything else. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to debate. I need someone to wake up to and say… It’s perfectly fine and ok that we don’t agree, but pitch me your side so I can see it. Feel it.

Have you ever fallen for the way a person thinks? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever loved a person’s internal mission? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their dream for their life? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever wanted to serve someone, and not in a petty way, or a cheesy ”your majesty way,” no in a way of complete honor.

Have you ever wanted someone to succeed and made it your goal to ensure they do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’ll make messes and say he’s sorry.
He’ll say yes; include me in the simple things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’s over my shoulder–sneaking kisses to my temple–he’s following my eyes–to make sure I’m alive in the moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’ll be honest, better yet–have dignity,
The kind of honor… that is–simply grounding. 🙏🏽
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He will admit when he has been wrong.
Loving wholesomely; first drafts are long. 📃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll hold hands like little kids,
I won’t be afraid to admit I’m his. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’ll be everything you never were;
we’ll do everything we never did. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you know in your heart that you can’t be my peace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me be free. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is the definition of love to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you stop asking me questions about who I am becoming. If you’re not in love with my mission. If you don’t listen intently enough. That is not love to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are not fighting hard for it: after you have it. If making me giggle has not become a habit for you. If we are away from each other and it doesn’t matter much to you. If you aren’t learning something you can teach me. If you aren’t doing everything in your power to ensure that every night you fall asleep with me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you know in your heart you can’t give me my dreams as it pertains to what we could be together. Not the way I give myself my own dreams… the way we think and lean on one another…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me be free to find someone better suited. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me unravel this confusion and make a beautiful illusion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when I breathe in my lesson… I’m going to teach it to all of you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is love to you? 🧸
What does it mean? No wrong answer.

Replayed every second over and over.
What I could have done differently… What I should have done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if’d it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The bottom line is he didn’t.
So what I didn’t do as a response doesn’t matter. Why didn’t I run up and jump into his arms? Why didn’t I kiss him in broad daylight and shock the birds and call up Winter tell it and all that I’ve got a forever of Sundays in my pocketbook and we can spend it all in one place. Why didn’t I show up? Face lit… with every dream I premeditated. Every guilty reason I was so ashamed of. Every promise I cannot make mention. Every slow breathing sigh I make when I stir up why. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why I didn’t? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And every ’why not’ – I am not getting better at balance. I have forgotten I love like a loose end off the tip of a broken edge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But he was indifferent.
And that’s an actual decision. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A big one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I can hint. He can miss. We can permeate from a distance. Only thing matters is this:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If he wanted to, he would’ve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s as simple as-is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you wish to be different? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💔 “For my part, I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely, dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack.” - D. H. Lawrence 🧮

I don’t know if it was ever real from you.
I know it is there though, no matter how it smashed into the floor.
Into zillions of pieces.
You breathe in my heartbeat when I say no.
Like runaway flowers browning at the edges of my table.
Or drowning like a sailboat so unsteadily.
For me… I can’t say I wouldn’t prefer the experience.
The swirling it does as a warning.
Every morning I’ve had with you.
Every evening I’ve laughed with you.
Every time I smile, I need you to know I adore you.
Even though I know it’s been too long and it’s over and done. ***Do you prefer the experience or do you just wish your heartbreak never happened? What would you say? *** #resilience #poetry #poems #slampoetry #performanceart #performancepoet #performancepoetry #slampoets #slampoet #slampoets #writers #lifestylewriters #lifestyle #lifestylemodel #lifestyleblogger #lifestylebloggers https://ift.tt/2KEKPt4
