Lovers day special.
Something for the lost girl who felt like giving up on love, it seems she was just looking in all the wrong places. For my younger self and for my Michael x
Sometimes, when I sit in a room with him, it feels like the whole world is there with us. The cosmos align effortlessly. I don't pine or ponder; I simply exist. It's the essence of freedom – to feel loved and love so purely, to feel held and protected like I never have before. My inner child heals with each gentle word that falls from his lips.
If only I could urgently assure my younger self that love will find her. All those quirks that appeared annoying, messy, or too much for others are just perfect to him.
I want to rush to her and shout that it will all be okay, but I don't want to spoil it because in all that gut-wrenching heart ache is where you grow and learn to appreciate when real love eventually arrives.
Instead, I’d tell her: you'll be sitting at the ballet next to your boyfriend, catching glimpses of his side profile. You study it frequently, thinking you must have manifested it from all those times you ogled over Adrien Brody. Overwhelming waves will wash over you. Tears will form and stream down your cheeks, but this time, they'll be of gratitude, not pain. He looks at you, and his blush reveals his understanding—he always knows. He squeezes your hand, and in that very moment, you finally understand the true meaning of the lyrics from the Talking Heads song that grace all your playlists. You melt into your seat, a smile playing on your lips as you think 'this must be the place.'
