To know her

I realized that I had fallen in love with all the parts that we shared.
Our love for the arts and creativity.
Our appreciation of love and passion.
Everything I loved in her was everything I saw in a reflection of me.
It was easy loving these qualities about her because they were the same that had in myself.
We can always love in someone else what we love in ourselves.
But it was when I began to love the differences in her that I truly began to love her and to know her.

Emotionalize

As children we were taught to overthink, rationalize, and over analyze everything that was going on around us. We were taught that reacting out of emotion was wrong. It’s time to reprogram ourselves. It’s time to start acting on what we feel. It’s time for us to say that it is okay to do what we want when we want and how we want and as many times as we want. Life is too short to rationalize rather than to emotionalize.p
