This is so beautifully honest.

I love how you’ve stopped treating your love like something that needs fixing or shrinking.

Some feelings are simply too precious to apologize for.

Yeah, the person I love has probably so many sock puppets running around here. I wouldn’t even know if it was talking about me or not but I tell you what I I’m not looking for apologies. I’m looking for attendance in one pair of shoes. I understand bitches, but you know I also understand there’s a gap back here with Brian that could be closed up for the rest of the universe. So if anybody is here talking about what they love or who they love and they haven’t closed the gap with Brian the whisperer he wears it was the same pair of socks all day on Substack. OK, maybe sometimes two. There’s a certain amount of authenticity and transparency that a man should not be expected to have flapping in the wind not for anybody and if he does, he’s an idiot. And they’re varying their grease of where that applies in each person‘s life. If you know you got some to settle with somebody before you start another thing the only thing you’re gonna be if you start something else as an asshole, but you won’t feel it till later. If you going to be loved, it’s nice to love somebody and those feelings will come along. But we have to look at the interpersonal economics involved with how we receive those feelings and why they’re being sent because sometimes that’s more important than itself. Some messages will be sent relentlessly until you know the line is cut because it seemed like you got it wrong and got feelings don’t lie and if I’m not listening to anybody else, but my gut I’m not gonna stop trying to get a message through till I’m sure you got it too. That’s different than having a sort of initial feeling of I don’t stay in contact with you when I’ve got time to myself to listen to me when nothing is a problem. Is these kind of messages that haven’t even said a word yet they should tell you something like the guy that won’t give up on you when he doesn’t think you got the message or somebody lied to you he’s committed. He’s willing to deal with adversity and if he hasn’t yelled yet when do you think he will? And then there’s a guy that just like the way it feels to make you feel good. it’s nice to see a reflection that doesn’t look too bad with a shave you know and if it’s been a minute for everybody, it’s probably you looking good. It’s feeling good why anybody would want that to stop I don’t know and if they took a couple week break the chances of that friggin pomegranate going all the way down to us. Nothing would be so slim that you could probably keep a bad average and make her want you again at the same time if you play a cool enough, but when you ride it hard and there ain’t no problem you gotta scratch your head a bit and zoom out.

Beautiful! I love this piece because you're not letting someone else define you. You're letting this experience happen, but putting yourself first. Loving someone is a beautiful experience, but it can be a fragile one.

I think a lot of people spend years trying to make their feelings smaller. Reading someone embrace them so completely feels oddly freeing. 🤍

So I challenge you the next chapter or level not to apologetically feels anything but when you feel it if it’s OK that’s good. If it’s something bothering you start reporting when it’s initially bothering you as soon as you know it will and don’t be sorry that you let a person know. Be you know solid in knowing that you did the service by informing them what bothered and just leave it right there some people wanna argue about it or they wanna talk you out of it no, I don’t know that’s what bothered me. It’s not that it got me so bothered that I’m freaking out. It was just a heads up. Now you’re unapologetically feeling now you got unapologetically. Let a person know when you feel past the threshold and it’s no longer gonna be cool if it’s not discontinued and amount of time to hopefully I’ve given you by giving early warning. And when things aren’t awkward because you’re seeing how you can manage that space even if just by giving more time before you call back if they want to zoom back to call you when they didn’t even listen to it don’t do that please message. Don’t even call back till they acknowledge it. There’s nothing to stand on you got it. I’m not used to that. It’s not something I really need. It’s not something I want like I know you’ve been doing it. If you didn’t it wouldn’t bother me pick up what I’m saying.? I’m spit balling

This was beautifully written. I love people very deeply too. I think loving deeply is what makes us truly human. Not everyone completely understands why we love people so strongly. As someone who went years being a hopeless romantic, I had longed for a love like the one I saw in romance novels and in romantic comedies. I think that may be part of the reason why we as romantics love so deeply. Luckily I’m now married and I’m able to experience that kind of love with my husband. I wish more people out there could experience the love they deserve too.

I love the concept of not denying what you feel rather than accepting all the emotions that make us human. Glad to have read such an achingly beautiful piece. Stay True. Always
