Love is not an emotion. If love is said to “conquer all”, then if it were an emotion, such a saying would refer love to conquering itself. What love conquers is what’s momentary, fleeting, and bound up more within lust over what’s timeless. All emotions pass, as they are feelings, not states of being. In

An expression is a confession. A confession turns into art because art will be taken seriously if it can’t be laughed at or ignored. It’s the distinction between tragedy and comedy that’s also the difference between beauty and ugliness. Someone who decided to turn their tragedies into hideousness will require a great deal of patience

“There can be something about a love so intense that it disrupts the stability in a relationship. It’s not what’s incompatible, deceptive, or malevolent between the pair that causes the eventual disconnection. It’s what’s too often filled with periods of yearning and ennui when they are far from the other. It’s what gets immensely passionate

Strength and weakness. Knowing your limits. It’s not to say that an individual should not be encouraged from reaching further. But to know where one is, at their current time in their own life, means that whatever’s being reached for cannot be instantaneously received. Any attitude of impatience seeks to bypass where does strength and

It starts with the individual. It must. Everything started with something singular until it finds purpose within the plural. It had to find purpose and meaning for its own existence within a space that shares its own values. Like-mindedness is almost a necessity. But if catered to too much, it becomes a force where closed-mindedness

To tell those who deal with reality that their questioning of it has any merit is only because the one who speaks of such “merit” is someone who stands on the sidelines to observe suffering. Reality is only ever questioned by those who either observe it without being affected by it, or by those who

Some might hear or read the word “useless” as inherently having a negative connotation. Instead, one ought to refer to its meaning as having more of a neutral tone. There isn’t anything positive nor negative about what’s useless or even useful, especially in regards to where these words are often applied. If there is one

It can be considered “common knowledge” that the term “origin” refers to the term “newness”. As in, something that has not been a mere revision, though has been designed, from scratch, and also without anything historical or repeated in mind. Some argue, with the invention of AI in mind, that there is no such thing

The term “hatred” is one I’m seeing nowadays get loosely tossed around, like it’s replacing the term called “fear”. What, did Taylor Swift start this spread of the term “hate” or “hater” becoming as loose as it is? They’re almost like opposites, hatred and fear. While the former is concentrated and based on the bitterness

If we are honest to another whom we have come to know, we will speak what’s needed to be said. Needed, not wanted, because lies might have been all they have heard. Lies are always aligned with repetition because they will not ever present quality to a life. A life receives quality through its growth

“Claiming to have done the right thing for someone else had to have been without choice involved. In love, we feel called to do what’s correct. Perhaps not correct or even rational for a hundred or more observers to our actions, though to us, it’s the most rational and logical to acts to do what

“Love can trap. Love can smother. Even when we are outside the presence of whomever we devoted ourselves to, we are remembering them. Even when we are avoiding it, we might come to remember it. We are recalling love, during grief, being the days when we don’t want to love.” – Modern Romanticism While in
