Plethora of Thoughts

- Paris Ebalobo (05082023)

In the realm of shadows, my love, we reside,

Amidst a world untamed, our souls confide.

Embrace my words, like a soft caress,

For I shall paint a portrait of eternal tenderness.

In this tumultuous realm, uncertainties unfold,

But fear not, my darling, our bond shall hold.

For you, my dearest, shall never stand alone,

By your side, forevermore, my heart has flown.

Though the world may wage its fierce strife,

Our love transcends, beyond mortal life.

Through the chasms of distance, we'll transcend,

Connected by a love that time cannot suspend.

In fleeting moments, our words may fade,

Yet the depths of my love, no silence can invade.

In stillness, I'm with you, my thoughts ignite,

For our souls converse in the language of twilight.

Admittedly, my heart yearns for more,

To be with you daily, like waves upon the shore.

But know, my beloved, this longing pales,

For your presence in my life forever prevails.

When doubt clouds your spirit, and darkness looms,

Remember, my love, amid life's fickle rooms,

You are cherished beyond measure, my dear,

An anchor of solace in this realm of fear.

Hold tight to my promise, a beacon profound,

Through the tempests of life, our love shall resound.

In every whisper of the wind, every vow we make,

You'll always have me, an unwavering embrace.

So fear not, my love, as we navigate the night,

In our hearts, an eternal flame shall ignite.

For through highs and lows, united we shall be,

Bound by a love that defies mortality.

In the echoes of our souls, let my vow ring true,

You'll always have me, forever and anew.

With unwavering devotion, our spirits shall align,

Transgender individuals, like all people, have the right to love and be loved by whomever they choose. However, in many societies, love between a transgender person and a heterosexual person is often met with prejudice and stigma. This is because societal norms and expectations around gender and sexuality can make it difficult for people to accept relationships that fall outside of the traditional heteronormative mold.

In many cases, these prejudices are rooted in ignorance and a lack of understanding about what it means to be transgender and the experiences of transgender individuals. Some people may view transgender individuals as less valid or "real" because of their gender identity, which can lead to discrimination and mistreatment in various aspects of life, including relationships.

It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that just because someone is important to us, we have to tolerate any kind of behavior from them. But the truth is, love should never be an excuse for someone to treat you poorly. No matter who they are, you deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, and dignity.

It's important to remember that you are valuable and deserving of love that uplifts and supports you, not love that tears you down. If someone is consistently mistreating you, it's time to have a conversation with them about your boundaries and what kind of behavior is unacceptable. If they continue to treat you poorly, it may be time to reevaluate the relationship and consider if it's healthy for you.

It's okay to set boundaries and stand up for yourself. It's okay to put yourself first and prioritize your own well-being. You deserve to be in a relationship where you are loved and respected, and it's never too late to make a change and find that kind of love.

So, don't allow someone to treat you poorly just because you love them. Stand tall, be confident in your worth, and never settle for anything less than the love and respect you deserve. You are strong, capable, and deserving of happiness and love that truly lifts you up.
