If you’re living in sin and it doesn’t bother you maybe it’s cause the devil has you where he wants you. When you start to go against that sin that’s when he’ll start attacking.

Felt this so much.

Loving you it´s not always being by your side, is not always thinking about you, is not always dreaming about you; it´s to be available for you, it´s to be you, become one with you, it´s to be aware of your dreams, and of mine with you, it´s allowing you to know me completely all the way to the very center of my pain, and of my love.

Loving you is not to shelter myself  in you; it´s building a shelter together, with our hands, where the whole world can fit in.

Loving you is not writing you love poems; is being love when I write to you, and when I don´t.

Loving you is not expecting something from you; is simply waiting for you, in the silence, at night and in the day.

Loving you is not flattering you, it´s not enhancing your vanity, it´s not weakening you, it´s not confusing you; it´s to show you the value of your shadow, the wonder of your own light, it´s to help you to live alert, it´s to want you to fly while I watch you, absorbed, joyful.

Loving you is not just looking at you, smelling you or tasting you; it´s to look along with you at anything at the same time, to become one with your scent, to be a part of you.

Loving you is not to write that I love you; is sharing with you the best of me (love), without ever turning back, without a horizon.

Loving you it´s not renounce to my dreams for you; it´s to awake from my dreams with you, held by your hand.

Loving you is not to demand from you, it´s not forcing you, it’s not to put pressure on you, is not convincing you, is not defeating you; it´s to help you to break free from yourself, from me, from it all, it´s to give you my breath, to seduce you without any desire, nor an objective, it´s to enjoy you.

Loving you is not saying that I love you, is not thinking that I loved you, that I will love you; it´s to ask myself whether I love you, it´s to feel it, allowing it to develop in me, without even needing to tell you about it.

Loving you is not projecting ideas about you, it´s not idealizing you; it´s to see you from afar, from up close, from inside, (from you), from outside, see you beyond me.

Loving you is not to fear you, is not to own you, is not to guard you, Is not to watch you; it´s to hug you warmly, it´s to open my door to you, it´s to observe you in plain sight, in total darkness, with the eyes of my soul.

To love you it´s not to want you only when you love me, when you´re pretty, when you smile, when you kiss me, when you caress me, when you walk with elegance, when you are calm, when you are happy; it´s to accept you completely just as you are, always and everywhere, with simplicity, and joy.

Loving you it´s not to reject your flaws; it´s to become sensitive to them, without ever expecting you to change them. Loving you is not to desire to be the center of your life; it´s to lead you, if you allow me, if am able to, to the life of your core, without looking for any rewards.

Loving you is not to look at you from above, or from below, from behind, from the front; it´s to cultivate a balance that goes back and forth passing by our common center.

Amarte no es desear ser el centro de tu vida; es conducirte, si tú me lo permites, si soy capaz de hacerlo, a la vida de tu centro, sin buscar recompensas.

Amarte no es refugiarme en tu persona; es construir un refugio juntos, con nuestras propias manos, donde pueda caber el mundo entero.

Amarte no es escribirte mis poemas de amor; es ser amor cuando te escribo, y cuando no.

Amarte no es esperar algo de ti; es simplemente esperarte, en silencio, de noche y de día.

Amarte no es estar siempre a tu lado, no es pensar siempre en ti, no es soñar siempre contigo; es estar disponible para ti, es ser tú, hacerme uno contigo, es ser consciente de tus sueños, y de los míos contigo, es permitir que me conozcas por entero hasta el mismo centro de mi dolor, y de mi amor.

Amarte no es halagarte, no es envanecerte, no es debilitarte, no es llamar tu atención, no es confundirte; es mostrarte la valía de tu sombra, la maravilla de tu propia luz, es ayudarte a vivir alerta, es querer que vueles mientras te miro, absorto, dichoso.

Amarte no es escribir que te amo; es compartir contigo lo mejor de mí (el amor), sin vuelta atrás, sin horizonte.

Amarte no es renunciar a mis sueños por ti; es despertar de mis sueños, contigo, tomado de tu mano.

Amarte no es exigirte, no es obligarte, no es presionarte, no es convencerte, no es derrotarte; es ayudarte a liberarte de ti, de mí, de todo, es prestarte mi aliento, seducirte sin deseos, ni objetivos, es disfrutar de ti.

Amarte no es decirte que te amo, no es pensar que te amé, que te amaré; es preguntarme a mí mismo si te amo, es sentirlo, dejando que se desarrolle en mí, sin necesidad alguna de decírtelo.

Amarte no es proyectar ideas sobre ti, no es idealizarte; es verte desde lejos, desde cerca, desde dentro (desde ti), desde fuera, verte desde más allá de mí.

Amarte no es temerte, no es poseerte, no es custodiarte, no es vigilarte; es abrazarte cálidamente, es abrirte mi puerta, es observarte a plena luz, en total oscuridad, con los ojos del alma.

Amarte no es exigirte, no es obligarte, no es presionarte, no es convencerte, no es derrotarte; es ayudarte a liberarte de ti, de mí, de todo, es prestarte mi aliento, seducirte sin deseos, ni objetivos, es disfrutar de ti.

Amarte no es quererte únicamente cuando me amas, cuando estás guapa, cuando te sonríes, cuando me besas, cuando me acaricias, cuando caminas con elegancia, cuando estás tranquila, cuando estás feliz; es aceptarte entera tal cual eres, siempre y en todo lugar, con sencillez, con alegría.

Amarte no es rechazar tus defectos; es hacerme sensible a ellos y hacerte sensible a ellos, sin esperar jamás que los cambies.

Amarte no es sólo mirarte, olerte, o probarte; es mirar contigo a la vez cualquier cosa, hacerme uno con tu olor, formar parte de ti.

tbh for a long time i really resented the advice "pick a partner that you would want to raise kids with" because i don't want kids and i hated that all relationships had to come from this place of procreation-first. what about toxic friendships, after all.

it took me a really long time to realize it's a bastardization of good advice.

many of us are recovering from being raised by parents/caregivers that were in toxic relationships or were toxic themselves. we learned behaviors, thoughts, and patterns from these people, and we spend our adult lives untangling and dismantling the harm done to us.

the advice should be - is this the person you'd want a child to emulate? is this a person you'd want a child even around? is this a person you can trust alone with a kid - any kid, mind you - and know that the child is safe, looked after, loved? is the relationship you're in one you'd want children to see and repeat in their adult lives? or is the relationship one you hope they won't follow, after all?

to be honest, i knew when i was in a bad relationship. i'd tell people - i know, i know, i should break up with him. i know, i know. she's not actually a good friend. but the reality was that it's incredibly difficult to escape the-devil-you-know. it was easy enough to train myself to be okay with it; i have very little regard for the-self and the process of cutting people out was simply too threatening for my mental state.

but i wouldn't put a younger version of myself through the same thing. i'd picture her in the same situation. i would tell her, broody as she is - leave, you're happier outside of it, never let anyone talk to you like that, you're worth more than this. i'd tell her when you let him cross your boundaries, the fault is his, but you need to understand you're rewarding bad behavior if you don't do something about it. i would wish, fervently, i could restart the relationship and do it all differently, be-young-again.

and then i realized: i am the younger version of myself. a future version of myself is begging me to leave. to take my happiness seriously. i am a kid to fifty-year-old-me. and i need to take my own advice. it's okay if that sets me up to grieve.

pick a partner that you would trust a younger version of yourself with. pick friends you'd want your younger self to grow up alongside. pick love that makes you feel like you want everyone to experience in their life and feel with others, something magical and shareable and full of mist. pick a love that feels like you can grow in it. pick a love like: i will be proud of this.

Happy Easter holidays....

May you All find Solemn Peace...

Wambui. YOU are My Heart. How Old is Your Soul? I could give you the Sun if I Could.

😪😪😪

me, going to bed at 1am: okay so we can fit the plot twist into chapter fourteen and introduce the love interest a couple chapters before that, and their first line is also going to be the last line of the book but in different context as mirroring, and we’re going to switch perspectives halfway through

me, opening my laptop in the morning: what is a Word

KELLY ROWLAND on filming “Brown Skin Girl” for Beyoncé’s Black is King (2020)

PLEEEAASSEEE post all ur “brutally honest” rough drafts you mentioned a couple days ago ... and post them as is. Strike my nerves and make me suffer!!!! If other people on here end up making crybaby posts about you on LSA (yes I’ve looked through the posts on all ur tags LOL) then that’s on THEM!!! You’re an anonymous hannah montana blog anyways 💅🏼 they’ll never find out your identity. I snort your posts the same way paris & lindsay snorted cocaine in 2006

Oh you mean like how I was gonna mention that:

Clothes and hair doesn’t make you feminine. You could put on all the heels and makeup you want but with one glance, I can still see that massive agressive energy you’re trying to hide. Femininity cannot be “put on” and “taken off”

There are genuine repercussions to the extreme promiscuity society pushes on girls these days, both socially and mentally, but you all can continue to pretend that it doesn’t exist so that you don’t have to deal with the truth that lies beneath #feminist #girlboss

One day we’ll all look back and laugh at how a bunch of teenagers online declared themselves the new authoritative figures on what classifies as sex and gender and then gave them the power to decide who is a bigot and who is not based on if they play along with the rules of using made up words to describe things that don’t really exist. That’ll be something.

“Diet culture” is not inherently bad. Some people just like fitness and being in shape 🤨. trying to make it seem like anything and everything related to dieting is evil and should be outlawed is honestly laughable.

Many of you claim you have such bad relationships with men bc men are inherently bad but scrolling through your blogs for one minute let’s me know right off the bat that you are simply awful to be around. Fun sucker. Overly sensitive. Big headed. Think you know everything when you don’t. Constantly injecting your awful opinions into every little thing. Just...a headache 😓

I think many of you forget that straight women still exist lol. “Why does this blog talk about dating ughhh who cares about boyssss” some of us are sexually attracted to men, Christina.

“I do such and such 100% for myself 😤😤” shut up no you don’t. Stop lying to yourself.

I am begging you to reconsider getting that cartoon character surgery that makes you look like the letter S. I am begging. Pleading, even.

If you make a moodboard called “classy life 💎” and include pictures of cardi b, just go ahead and log off

I’m really tired of seeing god awful wigs left and right. Truly. Learning to take care of your own natural self is better than buying it in the long run. Growing long strong healthy hair will be more beneficial than having a wig collection. I know that many women have grown up inseparable from their constant roster of fake hair but I promise that the satisfaction of knowing that the hair on your head that looks BOMB AF is real can never be outdone by fake hair. There is absolutely a time and a place for unnatural hair but come on now....

It’s always the most DYSFUNCTIONAL women calling themselves queen this and queen that. Ma’am..please. That’s enough! I understand that it may be a confidence booster but most of y’all just have unglodly egos that have no merit to stand on 😭

Just bc you don’t like something doesn’t make it an -ist or an -ism. You’re just bored and spend too much time on Twitter getting half baked education from other people who also don’t know what they’re talking about. And that’s on echo chambers!

Idk maybe I’ll save the rest for a later time... 🤭🤭

How to be Productive during Quarantine:

1. Go to bed latest 11:30 PM, and get 8-9 hours of sleep: 

If you do not go to bed at a reasonable time, no matter how many hours you sleep you will feel groggy the next day. Go to bed at a reasonable time and try to aim for getting 8-9 hours of sleep so you can have more energy and be more focused for the next day.

2. Wake up early:

Try to wake up in the hours between 5-8 AM. You will get more done if you wake up earlier, and you will have more time during the day to complete tasks. Plus nothing beats the satisfaction of waking up early and being productive while everyone else is asleep!

3. Drink coffee/tea in the morning for a boost of energy:

Drink your coffee and try to ease up on the sugar, but If you want something light and not too heavy on the stomach, go for some caffeinated tea. Drinking coffee or tea (caffeinated), will give you some extra energy and will help you remain focused longer. side note– do not drink caffeine if your body does not react well to it.

4. Create your new workspace:

Create your own personal little office. Create a place that is only designated for work so as soon as you get there, you know its time to focus. Try to go for a location that has lighting, is quiet, and has minimal distractions. Also try to decorate it with motivational quotes or pictures that inspire you, make it your space!

5. Set a timer:

With any task you are trying to complete, set a timer to help you remain on track and to not spend too much time doing one thing.

6. Put your phone away and limit your time on social media:

This is very important. Put your phone far away from you or on airplane mode while you are working or completing assignments.Try to turn notifications off on your phone or activate your screen time to limit your time on certain apps. Use social media or getting on your phone as a reward. (EX: I worked on my paper for 2 hours, now I can get a 15 minute social media break- set a timer)

7. Make your schedule and block off working time:

Make a to-do list the day before for work or assignments you have to complete. Writing the stuff you have to complete down is stress-relieving. Also block off your working time. (EX: from 1-4 PM I am going to be focused on completing my school assignments) side note– remember to take things one step at a time, if the task is going to take a while, break it down and try to work on it at least 2 hours a day everyday.

8. Do the hard things first: 

Complete the dreaded tasks first! You will get it out of the way and will not have to think about it for the rest of the day because you already finished it.

9. Take breaks:

You are only human. Taking breaks is necessary, it gives you time to refresh and gain some energy back. Staring at a screen all day can be very draining so try to take breaks every 2 hrs, but be ready to get back to work when your break is over. (minimum break: 10 min. maximum break: 50 min., base it off of how long you’ve stayed focused)

Take everything one step at a time, do not stress yourself out, and remember to take care of your mental and physical health.
