ATLAO

hello ecce,

you have an eloquence that kisses this universe. to love a life so fully, and to allow that in return is a revered experience in this wonderful Earth. embrace it.

though, ecce, remember: love only loves when it is true, but be wary of its blinding force. be sure the love you give is that in which you receive-- for you are worth every ounce of love this universe has to offer.

wishing you love, light, and laughter,

[cont] i suppose it takes a lot more than what people would imagine to burn out a star! keep shining, keep burning, keep warming people’s hearts. with fiery but the most tender love, marcus ✨ 2/2

marcus my dear, 

we stars are all burning in this universe– but burning with that tenacity, passion, and excitement you hold. you are burning brighter than ever before, with your love, light, and true being shining beyond your eyes. 

we are so happy you found a home in your heart– in the roots of the Earth, the wind, and in the rocking of the ocean. you are needed on Earth, to power both intensity and grace with your reach. 

watching you persevere and truly make a difference in our neighborhood has been our greatest joy. please continue shining as bright as you can muster. 

with the most tender of love, 

hello dearest giv, 

the pursuit of happiness is often an uncomfortable one. being scared is normal. it is a frightening journey to allow yourself to feel. it requires vulnerability not only with others, but with yourself– and truly working towards becoming the most balanced person you can whist building the life that you love. 

however, my love, there is power in being soft– for it takes an immense amount of courage and strength to be gentle in a world that is so against genuine change. 

you are on the right path. we believe in you, giv. we know you have the power to be soft in this journey to self-understanding and happiness in life and the power to grow stronger through it. 

we love you in all your stages. we are here for you at the end of each day, rooting for you. 

with our light shining for you, 

hello my darling sarah, 

we are happy to hear you from you again. if you look up at the night sky, our orientation is different each time you look, yes? same is with life. every moment is unique, and there is no rewind button. 

often humans mistake the purpose of their lives. they think it is derived from work, school, or some passion of theirs– however, the point of life, each humans ‘purpose’ is to simply live on this Earth. to experience each day and each night with whatever they see fit. 

you have the choice, sarah– all of these moments you live add up to your life. will you allow feelings of worry and stress be the soundtrack of your life? or will the laughter of your friends, the rustling of your feet in the grass, or the beating of dancing drums be the sounds of your life lived? what will your life sound like? look like? 

sarah, we hope you choose to shine brighter then you’ve let yourself before, and to truly live your life unhindered. 

we will leave you with this: just as us stars burn until we’re burnt, so do you humans. how will you burn? 

with immense love and light for you, 

- making up excuses to walk them home or to their car just to spend an extra few minutes in the presence, even if you're going out of your way to do it, to make sure they get home safe

- the Eye Contact that lingers after one of you catches the other staring at them but don't bother to look away, eventually one of you breaking into a shy smile and the other joins

- playing with each other's hands and stroking their inner wrists with your thumb ever so tenderly

- absentmindedly singing to them when they're drifting to sleep in your arms, seeing their faint smile as they head toward a peaceful slumber

- surprise shoulder kisses when you lean against a lover

- reminding them to take care of themselves even if it's unneeded, just to be able to see them smile and nod and promise you that they will, for you

- subconsciously sniffing their shirt when you hug them tightly, and it's kinda weird but ??? you don't even realize you're doing it they just smell so good and you can feel them smile every time you do it so sndkdkd

- waiting all day to tell them any kind of good news that you got because you're most excited for their reaction and encouragement than anyone else's, no matter how hard it is keeping it from others throughout the whole day

- that quiet muttering of "i love you"s in between kisses pressed against your lips never getting old, feeling your stomach doing backflips every time they do it and just feeling so loved in that moment
