I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.

The View On The Way Down
All the hardest, coldest people you meet were once as soft as water.
"I believe that even the hardest people can be reminded of who they were, and be soft again." I couldn't agree with you more. He calls me an angel for what I did. Tells me I brought him back to life.
after reading this i decided i didnt want to be cold hearted anymore. because no one else can hurt you, but you are constantly hurting yourself. and that hurts the most.
everything you have written lately have been so spot on --- now that you have written this, it makes me think twice about my means of 'self-preservation'... i want to go back to my liquid state- being a masochist isn't much fun.
And why don't we nurture idealism and keep a soft heart rather than channeling all our efforts in becoming the seemingly greatest, strongest person who does not want to be vulnerable. vulnerability is good.

couldn't ring anymore truer.
ReplyDeleteAnd the beauty of living is that not all of them end up that way.
ReplyDeleteSome of us are still the same warm and soft people that we started out as, you just have to look a little harder to find us.
That's true Laurel.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, I believe that even the hardest people can be reminded of who they were, and be soft again.
Were they also just as transparent?
ReplyDeleteI hope so. Transparency is a virtue.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad. But it's the cold hard facts of life. ):
ReplyDeleteThey can melt.
ReplyDelete..and now they're hard as ice? In that case, global warming could be a good thing.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more. He calls me an angel for what I did. Tells me I brought him back to life.
Even though things might hurt less if I did end up that way, I really don't want to.
ReplyDeleteBecause, really, all cold hard people have in the end is regrets that they had to say goodbye to their water-soft days.

He was never soft. He's always been that way.
ReplyDeletedear me,
ReplyDeleteeverything you have written lately have been so spot on --- now that you have written this, it makes me think twice about my means of 'self-preservation'... i want to go back to my liquid state- being a masochist isn't much fun.
