People never change.
Recently, everything around me lately has been based off of renewal by resurrection of the past. I will always be that little kid who was crying in his room at night, hoping to be cared for in a way his parents never would. Hoping that someday he will love himself in a way no one else ever could. Maybe that is why I can never really see myself with someone wholesomely down the road. I know that in the end I will die alone, as morbid of a statement that sounds, it brings a sense of calm to my mind. It let’s me know that I still need to love the people who help me learn more about myself. They come randomly and singly, just about as random as a child’s is conceived, you will never have any real control, it will just happen when the time comes. All the yelling in the world, all the money, bargaining, rationalizing will make it happen. It just.. does.
Maybe that’s why we have this need to have things under control, because, we never really do. Even repetition is subjective to the random things life throws our way. It’s that very thing that drives most of us. Even those who are left, battered down, thinking that nothing will good will ever come. But it does, it comes in the rising of the sun. Those moments of silence where everything rests. When you feel the most alone is when you feel the most safe.
R_______, when we are in a group, our eyes look at into each other. They linger, but in the most comfortable way possible. Like we are silently accepting the things around us. Having silent conversations that can’t be put into words but yet understandable. It’s those very connections that are so subtle that they are just as simple as a sheet of ice over a lake, stern enough to hold you, but there is movement under it, a movement we can’t see. But know is there, w never stop to think about it but it does pass our thoughts, whether we come to the realization that it is passing.
Maybe it’s the fact that I want to care for you, but not in a way that s love, this is anything but a love letter. There is always something more to say, but we let it fall to the floor and settle, we don’t fight things.. We just sweep it around and place those specs of dust in a different formation. Hoping that it fits for us, if not? we call for another breeze and once again put those specs of dust in motion again, letting them rest again in a new pattern.
I am always afraid to talk to people in this manner, I fear for being shunned away. i never really know how these words come together to another person. But I take that risk in hopes that something deep down clicks where you are able to relate rather than stare in puzzlement. This is my form of love, it’s when I pull back the veil in hopes you don’t turn away, just understand.
Thank you, you’ve made me grow without knowing you were doing it at all.
This another sun-rising letter. People never really change, they just… Learn.
