Although I know it’s not healthy or accurate, I wonder if it’s appropriate to love him more than I love myself. Is that what love is when you’re by yourself? I know it sounds cute in round-table discussions with your girlfriends about how strong you are and how you don’t need a man, but what about when you’re alone? When you’re by yourself and you’re thinking about him and you’re thinking about him and thinking about him some more… when you wanna do things for him that you’d never thought about doing for yourself… when you go out of your way and make yourself uncomfortable because you know the end result for him will be greater than anything you could expect for you… don’t you love him more than you? Wouldn’t you want better for him even if it’s not you? Should that day come where you can’t love him the way he needs to be loved and you’re strong enough to let him go, isn’t that loving him more than you love you? Sometimes I think loving someone more than you love yourself takes on two different meanings. Like… you could do stupid stuff with that knowledge or you could really digest it. I’m not gonna love you so much that I’m gonna be stupid for you. But sometimes, I might love you enough to hurt myself. I might love you enough to leave you alone even if it pains me. I might love you enough to move away from you… and that hurts me. So, if I’m intentionally hurting myself for the greater good of you, does that mean that I love me any less? What about being even? Shouldn’t the score just remain tied at all times? I mean, how much could I really love you if I’m constantly putting myself ahead of you? Or maybe it comes down to pain tolerance. I know how much I can hurt me, but I would never ever do anything like that to you. Doesn’t that constitute loving you more than I love me? Does it count for anything? I don’t know. I love me… but I love you, too. I want the best for me, but I want all the happiness for you, as well. I might take a loss for me just for you and call it loving you more than I love myself. … And I’m okay with that. I can love you more than I love me and still keep me. I guess… just not all the time. In healthy measures. As long as I’m honest about it. As long as it’s mutual. Or… for as long as I choose to love you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579710355397-ZNKDWSXOWLX8HZWIG96G/tumblr_mbcymcH6yE1rhdqj6o1_500.jpg Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579710449760-VMURFCFOBFIPM3AXFAGD/tumblr_9aa1aa4293f1691b7af8ae301951b401_24e32f45_640.jpg Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579711307881-4FL0HX5VWVVU1CD69CS8/Screen+Shot+2020-01-22+at+11.41.07+AM.png Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579711715919-TAV50C29J0ILPMNLP13M/Screen+Shot+2020-01-22+at+11.48.17+AM.png Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579711007260-9JM0CUALYSKNEL5Q9U2I/tumblr_23d57ee38ffc52494bff0cf8663ba6a0_e352bbc7_640.jpg Messages and Letters. - A POEM FOR SWINGERS, A POEM FOR THE PLAYGIRLS of the universe: I like women who haven’t lived with too many men. I don’t expect virginity but I simply prefer women who haven’t been rubbed raw by experience. There is a quality about women who choose men sparingly. It appears in their walk in their eyes in their laughter and in their gentle hearts. Women who have had too many men seem to choose the next one out of revenge than with feeling. When you play the field selfishly everything works against you: one can’t insist on love or demand affection. You’re finally left with whatever you have been willing to give which often is: nothing. Some women are delicate things Some women are delicious and wonderous. If you want to piss on the sun go ahead but please leave them alone. — Charles Bukowski. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579713123338-8BIWG4D8MR61UYVF3AJN/Screen+Shot+2020-01-22+at+12.11.35+PM.png Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579713841304-JDP26Q43R8BX8TKUSYPS/tumblr_mc57cuNLag1rhdqj6o1_r1_1280.jpg Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579713865114-SHYNLY9BHV5MZTJIILVJ/tumblr_mdnxpuCUhN1rhdqj6o1_500.png Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579714174640-GYFKUL4932660WRJSDRA/tumblr_mdm2raV7Zp1rhdqj6o1_640.jpg Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579716117900-1HUNT5KS26OA3RKYHN3S/tumblr_md7g1cvKB21rhdqj6o1_1280.jpg Messages and Letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1579715058598-F2D3IA01XRT8F0B05UKX/tumblr_mchjqkngge1rhdqj6o1_500.jpg Messages and Letters. - I’ve been in love before. It’s like a narcotic. at first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day you want more. You’re not addicted yet, but you like the sensation… and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes then forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be complete dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he’s not there, you feel like an addict who can’t get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you’re willing to do anything for love.

You can’t own a human being. You can’t lose what you don’t own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don’t, do you? And neither does he. You’re turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can’t value you more than you value yourself. — Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1586807405385-G43S6K3295PN7K7KNW27/tumblr_m87908qXLC1qgn6feo1_500.jpg Messages and Letters. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHERS WILLING TO CALL YOU A FAILURE. A FOOL. A LOSER. A HOPELESS SOUSE. DON’T YOU EVER SAY THAT TO YOURSELF. YOU SEND OUT THE WRONG SIGNAL, THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE PICK UP. DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU CARE ABOUT SOMETHING, YOU FIGHT FOR IT. YOU HIT A WALL, YOU PUSH THROUGH IT. THERE’S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FAILURE: YOU CAN NEVER LET IT DEFEAT YOU. CELEBRATION WHEN YOUR PLAN IS WORKING? ANYONE CAN DO THAT. BUT WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE COULD BE TOLD A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS, THAT YOU COULD TELL IT OVER AND OVER AS A TRAGEDY, BUT YOU CHOOSE TO CALL IT AN EPIC, THAT’S WHEN YOU START TO LEARN WHAT CELEBRATION IS. WHEN WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU IS SO FAR OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU DREAMED, BUT YOU HAVE THE BELIEF, THE BOLDNESS, THE COURAGE TO CALL IT BEAUTIFUL INSTEAD OF CALLING IT WRONG… THAT’S CELEBRATION. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca8059d92441be122f6ca59/1587185042540-USMTAW52XEBGIPZV4671/4d97823441f1aa81739b2296eaba52ec.jpg Messages and Letters. - May affection be a simple enterprise for you. May you never know entanglements with men who disengage quickly while you thrash about like a swan in the rings of a six-pack. I wish you friendships with discreet women; relatives whose opinions of you are not forged by the opinions of others; gentlemen callers who do not condescend. I wish you emotional slip knots, the limber stealth of escape artists, the willingness to remain tethered at the right times. (Indulge me; I am your mother. My wishes are potent.) May your heart never become such that it is only contented by playing the Nightingale. Do not be too tender, neither too eager to heal. May you never learn to use your own ribs as splints; do not break any bit of yourself to reset the men who are broken. May you laugh at the idea of women like your mother, who seek only the feral and the numb, then romanticize bringing them home. Do not wait by the shore for anyone’s return but your own — better, may you never know this pining. May you never set yourself adrift to become more present for others. Know the sound of yourself, listen for the whisper of your God, hear the hiss behind the lips of the man who cannot love you. If anyone is able to indict you, may it be for the bluntness of your honesty, not the dullness of your deprecation. May your chest never be a bat-filled belfry. Love is crazy-making; may its loss leave you mercifully sane. And when you grow, child, when you grow: may you never apologize for it. When you feel yourself unfurling as a tree, may you never withhold your figs. No one is owed your origin story. Give it only to those whom you trust and only when there is something to be gained. Do not long for those who’ve made themselves isles. There is water between you now, but someday the plates may shift. You must be able to breathe regardless; may you never deprive yourself air. Never dive into seas for those already wielding life preservers; when the time comes, they will not share. May you never believe yourself a rescuer where you are regarded as little more than a spectacle. And when you go, child, when you go: carry all these many wishes with you. May they never feel as weighty as a burden. May they ever be airy as embers. May they aid you in bearing quite little resemblance to me.
