#finding love

[thequotegarden]

Imagine meeting someone who wanted to learn your past not to punish you, but to understand how you needed to be loved.

I have no horse in this race, but I am kind of enjoying the lavender marriage angle a lot of SidLink shippers are going with. Mostly because it's above and beyond way better than a lot of the super sexist and hyper misogynistic vitriol that a certain portion of the LoZ fandom was spouting a few days ago.

But also, of course I am absolutely going to dig more queer headcanons!!!! I love this angle so much!!!!

Gimme more queer LoZ characters, I don't care how major or minor they are. I don't care if it's fanon or canon, either. If y'all wanna headcanon Yona as a lesbian, dude I am so fucking down you don't gotta convince me otherwise!!!!

On my way to find love

I'm a tourist of love,

You can say i'm looking for my type.

I'm on my way to find love,

My real love, my true love or my great love.

They say comfort is first step of love,

I'm searching for someone,

With loving arms

Which will hold me in hardship.

Trust comes second,

I'm looking for someone,

Who'll listen to me and help me when i'm stuck

Not the one who nods to me even when i'm totally wrong.

My happiness comes third

I'm searching for a soul,

Which can differ between my fake smile & real smile

Who can stay happy with me & respect my priorities.

This reminds me, respect comes next,

I'm looking for someone,

Who can respect my thoughtsz, my priorities, etc..

Along with his own.

Most important the bond,

I'm searching for someone,

Who is satisfied with as much I give him,

And despite that makes me feel loved every-second.

I know there's more to look & search for,

But what I know for sure is that my way of finding my love,

Ain't gonna be easy, simple or like cherry on the top

Its gonna hurt me, teach me, break me

But i'm ready, or love ain't for me..

Love recognized [abridged]

By Robert Penn Warren

There are many things in the world, and you Are one of them. Many things keep happening and You are one of them, and the happening that Is you keeps falling like snow On the landscape of not-you, hiding hideousness, until The streets and the world of wrath are choked with snow.

[...]

But you, like snow, like love, keep falling.

And it is not certain that the world will not be Covered in a glitter of crystalline whiteness.

Silence.

Billions of stars in this galaxy shining,waiting to be recognised by you, yet that One star that shines your soul brightest..

Who is that star?

Finding you was the easy part. Keeping you? Now that's another story altogether.

Finding you was the easy part, it was knowing you that was difficult. It was knowing that you hate the winter and drink coffee because it keeps you awake but really you'd prefer tea with parle g. It was knowing that you'd be up before the crack of dawn but asleep by the end of it. It was knowing that you hated soup but you'd drink it with me. It was knowing that your laughter gives me chills and wraps around my neck in a chokehold that feels like a warm scarf from my childhood.

Finding you was the easy part, it was loving you that was difficult. It was loving the way you made a note of my favorite things and added special notes to go alongside each one. It was loving you through the tears and the scars and every single boulder you jumped on to push me away when your mind told you that was the right thing to do. It was loving the way you look at me but hating that I wasn't what you looked at all the time. It was loving the way you wrapped me up in your attention and then regretting the emptiness.

Finding you was the easy part, it was keeping you that was difficult. It was keeping you in my arms without suffocating you with fingers that only know how to wrap around throats and not to caress cheeks. It was keeping you away from the parts of me that are ugly and wrong, that collect in the pit of my stomach like black sludge. It was keeping you even though we're older now and the moniker of ‘finders keepers, losers weepers’ no longer holds true because there's no one I'd rather weep for than you.

Finding you was the easy part. Loving you? Now that's another story altogether.

Lyrical Analysis Day 1: the prophecy

from 'The tortured poets department anthology' by Taylor Swift

This song has touched me deeply, evoking tears as if she has delved into my heart and penned the words I've whispered to the universe. It's mesmerizing how her emotions resonate with countless souls worldwide. The song beautifully captures the longing for love, followed by the heartache of unfulfilled dreams and solitude. How in moments of desperation, one finds themselves gazing at the stars, questioning "when will it be my turn?" "Am i even destined for love?" or "is this the punishment i deserve?"

The only way to each other is through ourselves.

[bryantlf]

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is believing that love is finding the right person. In reality love is about becoming the right person. Don’t go looking for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, instead become the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, and the people that deserve it will naturally gravitate towards you.

In the echoes of a shattered heart, Where pain and sorrow tear apart, A glimmer shines, a faint refrain, A whisper of hope through the rain. Through tear-streaked nights and lonely days, A newfound strength begins to raise, From broken pieces, love's rebirth, A phoenix soaring from the earth. With each sunrise, a chance to mend, To heal the wounds that time will tend, For in the ashes, love remains, A beacon guiding through the strains. So let the past dissolve in mist, As new horizons gently kiss, With open hearts, we'll rise above, Finding hope and love again, in sweetest love.

-I.

What Are You Supposed To Do When You Adore People Who Can Not Love You Back? 🥺🥰

First off, my first “love” or “crush” was on a guy named Jesse… I loved him from the time I was 14 till I was 24!!!! I did big grand gestures for him, even made Jesse a whole cd of love songs that I wrote myself and recorded. That was June 2009 that I gave him that CD. 🥺❤️‍🩹 Jesse would notice me at times and either compliment me or say something funny/awkward but Jesse intimidated me soooo much!! I was afraid to be my true authentic self cuz I wanted to impress him… Ultimately, I watched Jesse date 3 girls and he married the 3rd one!! 💔❤️‍🩹 in January 2013, is when I saw Jesse meet his 3rd gf & I KNEW he was going to marry her. I saw him find “the one” and I understood I had to stop chasing him… Oh it hurt me so much and I became a lost ship out at sea. I had a bf when I 18 named Stewart but I always chose Jesse. Knowing Jesse couldn’t choose me back, caused me to lose myself. I wrote my 1st suicide note becuase I had invested SO MUCH into Jesse (10 years of chasing him)

2nd, 1 week after I wrote that suicide note in January of 2013, I met Cody. Cody talked me out of suicide and then lovebombed me. He instantly became the most special person to ever come in my life!!! I truly believed Cody spoke my language and felt the same way as me. We bonded so quick and deep but at the same time, I was sick to my stomach and couldn’t eat. I had the weirdest feeling I’ve ever felt. I thought I was “high on love” and believed that’s why I couldn’t eat… Cody randomly dumped me which not only shook me and confused me but shattered my dreams. I spent a summer crying over him and still writing love songs/heart break songs but then Cody came back, love bombed me again and then asked me to move in with him!!! I was soo over the moon ecstatic and happy. I adored Cody but I knew he had dated another girl over the summer and wasn’t sure if he had totally forgotten her. Eventually Cody ghosted me and I was a walking zombie after that. I was in total isolation and numb. I couldn’t feel my own heart beat 💔💔💔 I realized Cody didn’t love me but rather, he hated my guts!! (No one that loves me, can throw me away like that)

3rd, I met Andrew about 5 months after cody ghosted me and he was the 1st person/guy to make me feel something since Cody. SO now, Andrew is the most special person to me… we were together for over a year but the relationship was not stable and extremely one sided. I was deeply madly obsessed and head over heels for Andrew!! Oh wow I adored him more than my own breath or life. I was gonna give Andrew everything. I was prepared to worship at his feet and go to the edge of the earth with him. Wasn’t a second I didn’t stare at his photos or say his name just to hear it. I wouldn’t shut up about him and I wrote him love songs too. I would wake up SOOO excited to see his name and text on my screen. I would go to bed with visions in my head of myself holding him and kissing him to sleep. Omg I was HIS ADDICT!!! I realize now it was toxic and not true love but I thought back then it was. Andrew made me believe we were happy and falling together but it didn’t last long before he started pulling away/being cold towards me AND I was grappling. I was holding into to Andrew for all it was worth 💔💔💔💔 I cried so hard over him and I’ve never been able to stop thinking of him and when I hear a beautiful love song or sad heart break song, I still cry over Andrew 😭💔🥺❤️‍🩹

Over time, I realized NONE of these men can love me back the way I love them and they’re all forever in a special spot in my heart. I know there was times they “lead me on” or “lied to me” and that’s hurtful. That’s caused me great pain and sorrow. I believe both Andrew and Cody wore a mask to deceive me BUT I love soooo much I’ll never get over them. I’m trying to heal from them and forgive them but my love can’t die for them. I can’t trust them and I don’t want to disrupt their lives. I keep a distance and I stay away from them. Cody ghosted me and I had to block’s Andrew’s number but oh gosh. I want the best for those men. Even Jesse. I hope his wife is a good woman to him and take goood care of him. I pray these men are happy and healthy 🙏🏻 but I don’t think I’ll EVER get over them. 🥺❤️‍🩹
