They say falling in love is an unconscious occurrence, as matters of the heart usually are. Yet I refuse to believe these emotions were simply unconscious, as though done on a whim one day just because — no. I fell in love with you because my soul saw something in you before my eyes could even register the shape of your name, and my mind decided that it was something worth knowing better before my heart could even register what I was feeling.

And my entire being continued to choose your arms as my home, my heaven on earth.

All of those were conscious decisions done out of my own will because I saw the reason why I should pursue you, why I should love you.

And while yes, love is wild and untamed... choosing who your forever love will be is a controlled and conscious decision

Perhaps that is why people may date numerous people in their lifetime, yet only ever yearn for and stay with "the one", also known as your spouse. You love them, yes, but you didn't choose them. Now, one wouldn't really consider that as love, would they?

A sign to love with the mind, for emotions truly came from there, after all.

Perhaps nothing in this lifetime will be enough for me.

How is it that you're always on my mind, even when I'm not trying to think of you?

Sometimes people pretend you're a bad person so they don't have to feel guilty about what they did to you.

It is strange how I wait for the sorry,

I'm glad that war came to an end, which seemed like glory.

I will never walk to that street again,

And i will find someone who loves me more than you, amen.

“I fantasise about rejecting the apologies that i know will never come.”

fading is the easy thing to do. but to persist in spite of the temptation to disappear makes you stronger than you will ever allow yourself to realize

Your own baby needs to be paid to be carried ???

being on this app is so surreal. americans are usually the ones that learn about other places and people everywhere else already know about america because we're everywhere online. we've never been on the opposite side where other people are learning about us -- and they are horrified about our "normal"

the country america spent our whole lives trying to convince us is miserable and suffering under an oppressive government that starves everyone and controls their media? that's just projection. turns out besides like... housing prices and few available jobs, china is doing pretty great. they originally believed we were all living it up "the american dream" way and now they're all thankful they were born in china and have no idea how any of us are even alive

I am my mother, all her dark parts, her shadows; and still her resilience, her strengths all reside in me, her light and lessons ingrained in my heart.

Support artists put down AI covers!!!!!

Too many writers are using generative 'AI' to make their book covers, so I've written a guide on how to make your own cover for free or cheap without turning to a machine.

If you can't afford to pay an artist, you CAN make your own!

I hope this is a helpful overview that covers the basics and points to some free resources.
