The Visionary Love

You are not what has happened to you. You are what you choose to become.

You’re feeling empty, right? That’s because you’re trying to please everyone else. You’re giving little bits of yourself away to everyone, trying to make sure everyone gets some of you. But then there is no you left for you. You’ve poured yourself out to everyone else. That’s why you feel so fucking empty.

If some one wrongs you, cheats, misuses or insults you, let it pass as one of the lessons you had to learn, but do not imagine that you are selected by fate for only such lessons. Keep wholesome, hopeful and sympathetic with the world at large, whatever individuals may do. Expect life to use you better every year, and it will not disappoint you in the long run. For life is what we make it.

I want you to hold my hand while we grocery shop. I want you to play with my hair while we watch our favorite tv shows. I want you to kiss me in the middle of my sentence because you wanted to taste my words. I want you to rub my back as we fall asleep. I want you to play my favorite song when I look sad. I want you to do these things without having to think about them. Do them because you love me.
