eros the bittersweet

the things we tell ourselves

  • that it is okay to be too much of ourselves in any and all given situation
  • that it is okay to impose our bent and broken beliefs because that is what makes us who we are
  • that it is all right to not compromise, because that would break the rule we have about being just who we are
  • that it is all right to do as we have always done and because trust that people will eventually come around and see things from our perspective
  • that it is no problem to do as we please because we are not guilty of anything
  • that it is no problem for our current lives when we get so entangled with our previous lives

these things are crawling under my skin. and the blood-loving being in me tells me there's no greater pleasure than when i inflict pain upon myself. i am masochist, what can i do? but it does not and will never mean that i wouldn't know when to stop, or when to simply let things go.

however, let me share with you my peace: i will take this as far as i could. as i have done for ages. as i have done in the hopes that love and faith will soon take over darkness.

What an interesting post, tick, tick and tick again on the points in your list. Pain, in all its many forms, really is so many different things to different people. I fear it but am also drawn to it,

Pleased to meet you,

and the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
