Valentine's Seduction
Valentine's day is like someone you've had a something with. You never really dated but you didn't not date. You sort of just were. When you're with someone the world is great, the trees are taller the grass is greener and it doesn't make you itch when you roll on it and their are rainbows everywhere you be. But just like when your not with someone, depending on how deep within each other you were, the world is less 'great'.
It's spellbinding the way we feel like we need to have someone in order to be complete. I never felt like I needed someone else in my life, It was always my preservation that I was born alone and I would end alone. Only when I started watching movies, reading novels and obsessing over social media did I feel like it was necessary for my continued existence to have another person in my life and to parade ourselves as one - couple. This concept still baffles me. You can call it commitment issues (many have) but if you think about it, what makes us feel like we need to claim another person as our own to be wholesomely complete? "I can't wait to start my life with you. . "- Every person ever engaged to their fiancé. Why do you only start your life when you fully commit to another person? |
I'm not saying people shouldn't get married or have relationships I'm just plaguing you with the question of why it seems like we're born to find a partner? I'm hopping on one foot deciding where I stand on this. Trouble is Am I just young and unseasoned or have we all just become victims to subtle 'market brainwashing'. Have you watched too many Tiffany&Co ads and now you're starting to feel the emptiness of the space in your bed or do you really miss the person that did fill the space or the person that can? Do you miss the person or the relationship. Are you just afraid of the darkness swallowing you like the vulnerable piece of flesh you are or do you miss the warm of someone that used to lay beside you. What does the space scream at you in the midst of the night time?

The silence of the space will always be louder than any argument or promise. Space will always be there, in the shower, in the bed, in the swinging hands of two lovers, there is space. Whether you're with someone or not breather life into that space so that when they're gone (to the bathroom, to work or just gone.) You will always have life in the space you occupy.
Let the empty space seduce you into false beliefs and you'll find yourself returning to the space finding it darker than you left it. -Valentine's Seduction |
