ive been dreaming about the triad quite frequently as of late. seeing them every morning makes every layer of ice melt of my frozen, turgid heart. truth is, id prefer to see them while cooking them breakfast and not whilst making their damn coffee. for the first time in, well, ever, i cannot tell them about my crush.
Personally, I don’t like inherently happy people. I don’t trust them. I think there’s something seriously wrong with anyone who isn’t at least a little let down by the world.

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.
But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.

“Your partner will inevitably see your soft underbelly. Shocking behavior you only read about will start to become your own. Your demon will rise up to righteously destroy your relationship in the guise of saving yourself from really seeing yourself. Your partner will say to you with all the tenderness that situation allows, “What the fuck?” You’ll want to break up with yourself.
Don’t be afraid of this horrible version of you! Face it, embrace it, coddle it, write it a poem, maybe it needs a hug. Shine the light of day on it. Unclaimed and unacknowledged, it’s got the power and its darkest forces will have you enslaved! Accept its influence, mine it for its gold. Yep, sometimes saying “YES AND” is going to take everything you’ve got. But the payoff, trusting in love, is just incredible.”
The whole video is good, but I love that bit.
I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.

Having spent the vast majority of my life trying to fit into some box, I’ve decided that I’m far more comfortable doing my own thing. This realization came to me in two parts: while biking an ungodly amount of miles yesterday and seeing how much i really am capable of and whilst watching someone in my life morph into the chameleon that their friends want them to be. This person is trying sososososo hard to find a place that feels good to them, and while I relate, I understand the complete ludicrousness of it all. I am the person I am today because I tried to fit in that same box. I’m also the person I am today because I embraced things that are true to myself and because I gave up on other peoples ideas of who I should be.

I do not care what car you drive. Where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this years cutting edge. If you are A list or B list or never heard of you list. If your trust fund is unlimited. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones or skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.
