Day 6 brought 2



stretch by me
little one
suck in the urge
to cry;
swallow it with the confidence
that you will not choke. 

repeat repeat repeat.

i remember a time not long past
a group of us on Figueroa just being wild
careless
free people
it was liberating
to feel the cloak of youth
the retro spin of
nothing can touch me
I'll be alright. 
remember?
remember how it hugged you?

clench your eyes.
that beast is locked up inside you somewhere.
don't you let go
you'll need her from time to time
when you wanna fight back
&
when you wanna survive.

You must also believe that you are WORTH every bit of happiness. You must cherish YOURSELF first before you find true love... True Love Never Diez... :) Love for yourself is really the primary thing...do what you love, be who you want to be... and your energy will exude into the ether...sending out pheromones, this is the attraction. Be yourself... you ARE the attraction. It's so possible, just never give up...that is my advice. Not sure if anyone asked, but I had to write this down. This is the path I've taken, which has led me to Juan. Led ...

To my brother:

To my brother: you are my unconditional love. never was there any more, never shall there be any less. <3 you showed me that it was possible to be happy with myself, even when I refused to see past the haze of insecurity. i am sitting here, wanting to share words with you. all i can think of is a silent prayer to you for hopes that the words would finally come. i love you, anthony. always.
