Sometimes you open yourself up to a person because you feel and believe that they're different and maybe this time they won't break your heart and that your love will be requitted. So you go out on a limb and open up so much of yourself to this person. Things that you're afraid to tell others about because of fear of being judged or rejected. But there's just something about this person that allows you to tell them everything. You become so comfortable in the presence of that person that you openly admit your flaws, you don't hide it. You just completely lose yourself in love and in the thought and concept of being loved, of being in a relationship and of being with someone that you can be yourself with. The idea of that person just completely excites you and everything about them makes you happy. Seeing them and hearing their voice just helps you in an inexplicable manner and being with them is an emotion of complete comfortability on its  own. You learn to love this person and you accept their flaws and differences. You accept how they might not necessarily love eating McDonalds as much as you do or they are crazy about sci-fi movies where you can't even get yourself past watching a chick flick. But that's just it, you don't mind. You don't mind because love is about sacrifices. Its about sacrificing your weekly episode of The Vampire Diaries to watch the most recent sports updates. Because you'd rather lose the argument than to lose the person. You'd sacrifice a part of your daily routine all for love. The worst part is that nothing is guaranteed. You're not guaranteed how long you will be in a relationship with this person. You're not guaranteed complete happiness and you're not guaranteed that things are going to be perfect. You just have to trust this person and have faith. Believe the best and hope that everything will work out for the. Best. Believe that even if you break up with this person, that you're going to be ok. Everything is going to be ok, and that new beginnings are perfectly acceptable. Believe that you're going to overcome heartbreak of any kind. You just have to believe that someone out there is looking for someone like you. What others see Wrong in you just might be the exact thing that will make someone else fall in love with you. And you need to be realistic. Not all relationships last forever. Some relationships are there for lessons and experiences. So that very person that you completely open yourself up to, can break your heart. It could be during or even after the relationship. But its all part of life I guess. You'll never know how to love someone wholeheartedly if you haven't been hurt before. You just have to turn your heartbreak in to something positive, make the most out of your situation. See the light in the darkness. But learn to deal with things too. Find closure in what happened to you and don't leave a relationship with unfinished business. Because unfinished business will have to be finished sooner or later, and I think sooner is better. Allow yourself time to heal too. Opening yourself up to someone that much can hurt you a lot, and everything you had with that person will be completely lost in an instant. And you're gonna need to come to terms with that. Remember that what's meant to be , will be. Love, is a complicated thing, and you're never quite sure how things could possibly turn out to be. You're just gonna go out on a limb each time hoping for the best and patiently waiting for your happily ever after with a special person.

My prepared speech for school- Love.

Somedays my thoughts shriek so loud that they congest the rest of my mind other days they chant lullaby's as if nothing traumatic has ever happened one moment i'm up the next im crumbling to my knees one or the other its consistent drowning with no one to rescue me I'm keen on telling myself its all in my head at times, but doctors tell me its all me but for gods sake do they realize what horrid phrases the voices scream? death would be so heavenly I long for the passing of sides im awaiting to go home where its all white and peaceful i have days where im so narcissistic; I swear I can commence the world as if every millisecond is a luxury of sighs and sounds at moments my dispute comes out so rapid all i get is crooked looks and mumbles some days, I love him other times I swear he's the devil in disguise during my manic episodes you spoke soft as if I was a fallen angle that was overflowing with life. You had mentioned a world that disculded me was a world you cannot exist in You said I influenced your heart to skip beats, that I saved you, I was your fresh air Once he witnessed myself during a dreadful episode you declared loving me was exhausting and space is what you desired for hell could i control this? he was the one isolated concept I could ever make my ******* mind up about I loved him; I love him he said that his devotion to me was similar to staring into a black hole but seeing the reflection of the delicate sunset it never made sense to him BUT HELL DID IT MAKE SENSE TO ME? when he stranded me, i couldn't help but dissolve in tears i was nowhere adjacent to happy but that's all I've ever comprehended my doctor says they've observed a change maybe its the sleepless weeks and collection of mood stabilizers consuming pills in hopes to not feel so ******* empty anticipating on my next manic episode waiting for the door to open to go home If I have learned anything from living with BPD it is im constantly dilapidated upon everything one day soon I hope to recover from this disorder that replicates a loud room without recognizing how loud it was and all I hear is the ringing in my ears that doesn't seem to have an end some day this will be over some day my lover will stay I pray to fall in love with another angel again

Living with BPD( Bipolar Disorder)
Somedays my thoughts shriek so loud that they congest the rest of my mind other days they chant lullaby's as if nothing traumatic has ever happened one moment i'm up the next im crumbling to my knees one or the other its consistent drowning with no one to rescue me I'm keen on telling myself its all in my head at times, but doctors tell me its all me but for gods sake do they realize what horrid phrases the voices scream? death would be so heavenly I long for the passing of sides im awaiting to go home where its all white and peaceful i have days where im so narcissistic; I swear I can commence the world as if every millisecond is a luxury of sighs and sounds at moments my dispute comes out so rapid all i get is crooked looks and mumbles some days, I love him other times I swear he's the devil in disguise during my manic episodes you spoke soft as if I was a fallen angle that was overflowing with life.

Falling in love with someone who is bipolar will never be easy. There will be minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months where I'm unexplainably mean, or recklessly happy.   For a period of time, I may be all over you and want to smother you in my aforementioned reckless happiness, that I will forget to ask how you're doing and if you ate anything today. I will forget that unlike me, you need to sleep for 9 hours a day and that you're not fully ready to take on the world. At some point, I will take a turn for the worst and will mope in unbelievable sorrow due to the death of my false happiness. I will cry about everything and will stop calling, and forget to remind you that I love you so much and just need some time away. My deep sadness will soon turn into unrelenting anger and I will tell you abusive things that I don't really mean. I will be confused as to why I say them, and apologize a million times and try to explain that I can't control my anger, and that I need to leave and be away from people for a while, although I know nothing will really help. You will insist that it's okay and tell me you love me. For days, weeks, or months, I will do this, and you will soon think I am lying and think that I am just genuinely terrible. My constant apologies will become nothing and you will soon distance yourself and start falling out of love, but still have a glimmer of hope. After this episode, I will have a period where I feel nothing and am almost robot-like. You will feel unwanted and unloved and look at me with such sad eyes and get nothing but a shrug and a half-assed "sorry." When you finally walk away,  I will have more bad days than good days because I will regret not saying I love you more. I will hate myself for being bipolar. I will fall back into my bad habits and soon you will be a distant memory.

Strong winds may uproot you Unsettle your stoic resignation You will be shaken and stirred Lot of ponderings and doubts In the middle of nowhere When gravity does not give hope Become a fearless traveler Encounter the strong winds No matter where you settle Continue to spread your roots, deeper Your soul is still with you Nothing can stop you from reliving Every unsettling episode Will teach you to be more resilient

Yesterday's episode drained the life out me. I felt empty inside. And now I'm just filling up with sadness. I don't know what you are trying to achieve with this space thing, but I never asked for it. It feels like it is more of an excuse for you not to deal with me. A way to manipulate me so that you isolate me more until the point I am so broken that will come crawling back to you. So you don't have to put in energy, but so that I keep draining myself until I can't take it anymore. Till a reach the point of.. It's not worth it anymore.

Emotional Abuse
During my manic episodes, you found me fun, fervent, even amazing. You told me that you wouldn’t trade my love for anything. You told me that I made the butterflies dance in your stomach, and made the demons disappear in your head. With every “I love you,” there was a smirk and a kiss. You told me that I was one of a kind and you’d be there for me no matter what because you couldn’t imagine living without me. After my first bad episode, you started telling me that my love was overbearing and you needed space. You told me that you felt suffocated and I was like a child craving attention from their mother. You told me I was too repetitive and you just wanted to go get high. Every time I said “I love you” you looked at me, shrugged, and said “me too.” I asked you what happened to “forever” and you said only sane girls keep their prince. You acted as if I got to pick and choose what disorder I wanted. As if being bipolar was a luxury I wasn’t taking advantage of. When you got sent to a mental institution for attempting suicide, I searched for you for six hours until your mom told me where you were. After you returned, I helped you find yourself again and lost myself in the process. I sacrificed everything for your well-being, and you had no interest in mine. You made me believe that being bipolar made you a terrible person, but then I looked at you with tearful eyes, and got a peek at what terrible really is. Thanks to you, I know who I am.

Feels
The Amazons fractured her skull while he was busy introducing himself, with a handshake and a teapot: 'Good Morning!' A tuneless whistle, an anthem from nowhere falls on deaf ears, eyes faded to pastel like a warning poster after twenty copies and acid rain. Not an episode from real life just an ivory circus, the sport of savagery Tired. At an end. It wouldn't happen in Blighty. A dark heartbeat, a steady drum The pen is mightier than the spear, blotted shapes in the rushes Inert, unheard No time for farewells

When you get nostalgia For previous episodes, books, volumes, or songs When you understand the world better By comparing it to a million fictional ones When you obsessively hit the reset button on YouTube Waiting for the next episode or song to come out When you have tons of fictional or celebrity crushes But don't like anyone in your school When you understand the characters Better than the people around you That's when you know you're a fangirl

You Know You're A Fangirl
Relaxed and poised, I'm ready like there is no tomorrow. Entering this anti-peace, yet, peace it is supposed to be, peace I wish it were for me. Quietly she sits, and I am waiting, as the clock slowly ticks. Why, I wondered, why should this be difficult? To simply hand a note of invitation. Oh, it's done... what gratification! Now, all I can imagine is a negative, but in my heart, it's nothing but positive. And now time has expired, to the moment when I see her again. She delivered her response, and in subtle jubilation I had arrived! An episode has ended, and now I look towards the future, of disappointment? of embarrassment? of disaster? No, no, no... Times have changed, and tomorrow, I look to happiness.

Often times people say go to the gym, “It’ll make you happy, and you’ll feel energized!” These are some of the things I’ve experienced or thoughts I’ve manifested over my teenage years. Ahh yes great ol’ puberty! Onto adulthood, yikes! Go to the gym and lose that extra weight that your family and so called “friends” have been passively judging you for. Go to the gym, but don’t lift weights because you’ll get bulky, and no one will ever love you if you look like a female Hulk. Go to the gym. Go to the gym. I hear this left and right. But I fear that I’ll embarrass myself and that everyone is watching me. Anxiety and panic attacks hold me back. And what happens when that clinically depressed person is told time and time again to “just work out” and “get out of bed; it’ll make you feel great?” What if they just came down from a manic episode and crashed? What will people say then? Well I know what I want to say: This isn’t as simple as the morning blues or that feeling you have after listening to a sad song that reminds you of your past. (Not to disqualify those emotions whatsoever.) Depression is the ruminating thoughts that no one loves you or ever will. It is feeling so empty that your appetite is nonexistent and your motivation to do what you once loved is gone. Anxiety is holding your breath and forgetting to breathe, so you just sit there in pain until finally someone or something reminds you to release. Release all that you’ve built up. Stop the isolation, and share what’s on your mind. It’s not easy. Trust me I know. Two days ago I went to the gym, and yesterday I went to the gym. Can you guess what I did today? I went to the gym despite every fiber in my being telling me I couldn’t. I had the support of my mom and sister. Find a gym buddy. Start small because all the machines and strong people can look intimidating. But they all started somewhere and now you can too. Make a goal. Something that is not too small or too large. For me, I’m training for a 5K that’s in the beginning of May. It will be challenging yet doable. Sometimes none of us knows what we’re doing, and that’s the beauty and challenges of life. Don’t quit after one try. Your journey is now starting its new chapter. Stay in the present moment, and keep going. I believe in you.

How many times can I check facebook, check facebook check facebook? Glance, browse stalk, stalk harder. How many times can I watch a show on my computer? Watched, finished, next episode next episode next episode-caught up How many times can I get distracted, get distracted check emails—no new messages Entertain me, distract me, disconnect I want to be turned on standby, autopilot, you can think for me Keep the walls of paper from burying me, suffocating me Intellectually flat-line, a mental goodbye Lose consciousness, fake my awake Get lost, then found then actually find my way back to my workload Attempt the task that terrifies Look it in the eye, Unafraid eager and tackle it down to the ground One subject two three, But the pile it looms over me, consumes me I bit off more than I can chew Teeth that don’t release, don’t retract All I think of is how I should act Attack, straight on? That’s the best bet Nothing was ever accomplished by sitting down in fret The stakes are just too high to try A failed attempt changes impressions Self-Conceptions

Studying Hard or Hardly Studying?
From brown eyes to green, the date began I extend my hand to invite a handshake We both exchange an “It’s nice to meet you” We are escorted to our table Chosen at random by our server, but perfectly selected For the spot offers a phenomenal view of the coniferous trees below And the majestic mountains of the North Shore Our eyes meet again From brown eyes to green We sit and start conversing You are stunningly dressed and I cannot take my eyes off you Your eyes are locked into mine You must be really into me just as I am into you Our server interrupts, we place our orders Your every move makes my heart flutter, From how you flip the pages of the menu To how you rest your elbow on the table with your hand on your chin, Smiling sweetly at me I’m having an amazing time You tell me you are too Dinner goes by in a flash, the sun has fully set We drive off through the winding road and into the city traffic I haven’t kissed you yet But I want to After umpteen intersections and two cities We arrive at your apartment I walk you to your door I turn to face you From brown eyes to green I lean in for the kiss A quick gentle one I wish you a good night But you want more... From brown eyes to green You lean in and kiss me with fervor and passion You ask me if I want to come in, but I’m hesitant to answer From green eyes to brown Your intense, desire-filled gaze pushes me to say yes Another episode to the evening begins..

From Brown Eyes to Green
Twisted reeds sway gently in the wind as black seabirds slice the sky overhead. Waves rolling one by one crash with increasing ferocity on to the rocky beach, And I watch the red sun set fire to the spray while  the tide encircles me. Tugging at my feet, pulling me forward, it beckons for my consent. I give in, And all is quiet even in such chaos. All is nightmarish and beautiful all the more. The blood red horizon seers my retinas; freshly unleashed tears take to the sea. These waves, such enormous swells, crash in on me; an unseen war is waging. They press  me down and back, and then drag me further into the endless blue. Over and over again, repetition loses count, my outcries die prematurely. Only seawater and air manage to sputter from my lips, cracked and worn. Not a whisper can be heard out here in such a true state of despair, but not all Castaways are without faith. The past I once cherished has been lost to the depths, Yet a knowing tingle in my gut keeps me searching for a message hidden merely 'Neath the surface. Drifting deeper into my pain, I notice a curious thing:   The force of the waves lessening as I gracelessly surrender to Sorrow and the sea. My feet torn by jagged rocks no longer felt, my eyelids blistered by the red Eternal sunset, a few waves push me under before the siege of the sea falters and I learn to ride the surf, taking each afront as it comes, whether predicted or Suddenly upon me. My pain ebbs away slowly with the passing of each episode, And with each wave I acknowledge my loss, relinquishing my burden. Like so many desparinging hearts before me shipwrecked in the sea of tears, I forcefully remind myself that one day the lush, inviting green shores of the Other side of the sea will appear in my line of vision. Yet, for now, I let myself Drift through the grief of grieving you, often unsure of whether I'm meant to float Or should let myself sink toward the blackest crags of my mind. Here alone.

The Surf

Crescent orb radiates its crystalline sight, languid lips coalesce like a tessellation, the vexing vines wilder the incandescent- glimmer but the burning impression remains. Celestial bodies affixes a soliloquy amongst- a halcyon tongue that revelate a rhapsodic- episode. Quiescent ambience rings a plethora of- sentiments stinging on the mellifluous lullaby. The lithe wildflower murmurs- the euphonious recital of a sonnet that- is unacquainted to the mind. Luminous assemblies of fireflies retire- behind the myriad of evergreen forest as the insouciance wildflower approach. Precocious primrose locked from the scorching sensation of a wildflower exhibited a lassitude facade like a - waning lantern fiery on its final residues. In the distant a wildflower and in the presence, an idyllic primrose: so scarce and so strange.

Exuberance Aflamed
I grew up watching romance anime, I loved them even though most were cliché, Shy girl meets popular guy, Two people love each other but they're too shy, I remember waiting all week to see if she gives him her homemade chocolates on Valentines Day, Squeling when they finally say, I love you Then they kiss under the fireworks later, They barely show anything beyond that but I assume it's happily ever after Every single time, they have their first encounter under the cherry blossom tree, I remember thinking hey, why can't that happen to me? But there are no cherry blossoms here you see, The boy you fall in love with at the first day of school, Will not be yours by the last episode, That the guy you always see at your bus stop, Will not always save you a seat, That when he holds out his hand, No, it is not always your hands, he is reaching for That the sparks you feel when your lips touch, Are not always fireworks But maybe just electricity; waiting to shock you I've learned that "I love you" doesn't always mean "Happy Ending" I realized that "I love you" Doesnt always mean "take everything i have" I found out that "I love you" Doesnt always mean "I love you" That "Forever" Is about as real as you meeting the one under a ******* cherry blossom tree Yes, his eyes may sparkle, Yes, they don't see him the way you do Yes, the words I love you Feel like the sweater you finally bought after eyeing it for months, Yes, this moment may feel so surreal, That you can hear the background music and see the sparkles everywhere, But you see, this is not an anime or a movie, This love is'nt gonna end up the way you planned it to, Yes, you may be the author But this, is not just your story. -p.a.r

(Hypnos- God of Sleep Eros- God of Love Nyx- Goddess of Night) ME: I closed my eyes And met 3 strangers Whose names I knew but, Could not express. They stood with grace and prowess, Each one grander than the next. They petitioned me to ask them, Anything at all, So I asked them about dreams, Given to us by gods. HYPNOS: A weak internal monologue, Lapsing into night. They sleep and breathe So slowly, They sleep; and breathe so deep. EROS: Their dreams I clouded, Tinged, with crimson haze. They long for one another, They long; To find each other. NYX: The dream ends now! As my darkness overwhelms. They no longer need to think, They drink; As to forget. ME: Pretence keeps up my dreaming, Innerspeaker of my thoughts, Past tense reveals it all: Groundskeeper To my soul. An arrow from your quivers Surely would do the job, Of a thousand Quarts of liqour Or novocaine, or god. NYX: When you see light You will see clearly, The truth of misery. Though I know nothing of such light, The darkness lives in me. EROS: Soon your day will come, To feel as all the rest. The burning fire of passion, Bellowing wild, A fire without smoke. HYPNOS: And now as you awake, Arise! Dear sir, go forth, Knowing of what you learned, In this episode, This dream.

The time has come, for me to fray the long lost fortune peace and joy and i peep all around to see a ray to give me hope and stop to cry in the face of dispair, i will still try it feels like hell and i need to fly am about to burst and am full of thought then if she left to me its draught the touch of her hand and a kiss so hot swimming basking and the fish we caught fear and doubt with love we fought she always escaped to what we ought then came the insighter and he seemed brighter taking her out and treating her better Using a phone when i used letters things were hard especially with a competitor forgot me complete together with her litter it seemed to her there was nothing sweeter after utelizing the better of her best he disposed her and then left she had some pain in the chest when she came in serch for rest she was mine but we had to test to avoid being hung like a nest A drop of blood and a little buffer recalled how our children would suffer if through ignorance our life was vapour my test was a line and my partners twice why would life be so very  unfair? her episode was so shortlived yet she left me huge a burden to the kids we had i was both parents just be cause she wouldn't heed even doctors advice on adherence all in all i had to say goodbye coz she was mine for the time we spent what i am now going through is a fruit of ignorance and disobedience my urge my prayer, that not one falls into the same it's so easy to say that, lets avoid the idea of shame by first escaping the blame by keeping ourselfs tame.

I decided to be nostalgic And flip on the Fresh Prince. The "gentle" comedy cheers me up, But then again, laughter is infectious. I'm on a marathon now With this show on reruns. Watching every episode Until one... You watch a sitcom and expect To chuckle and cackle along with the audience. You expect your heart to be lifted Out of whatever darker place you've been. You don't expect it to hit so close to home That your throat closes up And your lungs burn with the need to breathe But you can't Because suddenly where there was the sound Of deep throated guffaws, Of bellyaching mirth, Is only uncontrollable weeping and sobs You never knew a sitcom could draw. Will: I didn't need him then, I don't need him now. Philip: Will... *Will: No, you know what, Uncle Phil? I'ma get through college without him, I'ma get a great job without him, I'ma marry me a beautiful honey, and I'ma have me a whole bunch of kids. I'ma be a better father than he ever was, and I sure as hell don't need him for that, 'cause there ain't a **** thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids!* [long pause] Will: [breaks down] How come he don't want me, man? That echo in my soul: How come she don't want me, man?

Sitcom Tears
How many times can I check facebook, check facebook check facebook? Glance, browse stalk, stalk harder. How many times can I watch a show on my computer? Watched, finished, next episode next episode next episode-caught up How many times can I get distracted, get distracted check emails—no new messages Entertain me, distract me, disconnect I want to be turned on standby, autopilot, you can think for me Keeps the walls of paper from burying me, suffocating me Intellectually flat-line, a mental goodbye Lose consciousness, fake my awake Get lost, then found then actually find my way back to my workload Attempt the task that terrifies Look it in the eye, Unafraid eager and tackle it down to the ground One subject two three, But the pile it looms over me, consumes me I bit off more than I can chew Teeth that don’t release, don’t retract All I think of is how I should act Attack, straight on? That’s the best bet Nothing was ever accomplished by sitting down in fret The stakes are just too high to try A failed attempt changes impressions Self-Conceptions

I am an Otaku, when I saw you, I thought you will be my waifu, on screen, pillow or games, You still stole my heart with eroge, you have different colors from **** to ****** but I prefer ***** in your anima, I spend my days, yearning for a new episode, until that day comes, I still wait for you.
