One long note...
14 years ago
Stay tuned! More narcissistic awesomeness after these messages!
I want to send this message out to all of you...
To those I haven't met, to those I have loved, and even to those I may never meet...
Love for all that you can. Love for all that you are. Share all that you can and cannot spare. Life is a short endeavor and then we pass on we can to whomever can carry on after we die. What torch can be carried across the world, faster and be more inspiring than any Olympic athlete can ever boast, better than the ever-burning fires of love and whatever represents it.
More than any religion can ever teach, and longer lasting than any spirit can wander, Love is one of those things that is both immediate and long lasting. God can offer you a chance to have something tomorrow that you can freely give and take today, for all time; yesterday and tomorrow. There is no uneven playing field. There is no superiority in love. It encompasses both young and old, small and large, living and dead.
If there was anything worth preaching it would be this: Don't let the fire burn in waste.
To those lovers who are fighting, remember that everything heals with time. Those things you found within each other exists, and it only takes a little work to coax it out once more. Things change, as do people, but the treasure that you found never tarnishes...it only changes shape. It is still as glorious and golden as it was however long ago you found it.
To those lovers who are losing hope...find it in one another. Come home. Live. Breath. If nothing else in the world is going right, at least you have found the one person who is right for you. Never lose that hope, even if that person is thousands of miles away from you, it is a hope that can go on until you can coexist with one another in peace. There is nothing and nobody that can take that hope away from you, for it should be one that crosses voids to find.
Finally, to those lovers who are encompassed by worldly grief, never let it affect what you have. No amount of money in the world, and no amount of things, could equal the one great, close, and sweet relationship that you have. Nothing, not this entire Earth, can equal the person that makes you feel the most complete, because these things, these currencies, are meant to be given away. No amount of wealth can equal the richness of the one that you hold every night...and no electric blanket will warm you as deeply as your lover can...
For those of you who have the lovers, hold them and cherish them. They are the single greatest treasures you will ever have. Look into their eyes and see that wonder that caused you two to come together in the first place. Practice that passion that gave the world meaning to you when you're next to them. The world will never be lonely to you...as long as you have the deepest treasure that can ever be given.
When those of you who have yet to find your treasure, keep searching. There is no singularity, no "soul mate" that is the only one that can make you happy. There are many beautiful shells in the sand, and all you have to do is find the one you want to hold forever. Make it your totem, your familiar, and the thing that ties you to this world.
