Dear Imaginary Lover,

How are you? I hope this finds you in good spirits. Surrounded by love, good vibes and whatnot. I don't know how to start this letter* so I hope you don't mind me just jumping in (it's not the first time I've lunged myself into your arms.) Oh, I'm going to get distracted here and there, I've honestly found my peace with it. Bear (hehe) with me. . .seriously all I can offer you is my perspective, but my God, you don't know how beautiful you are. The boundless treasures inside of you. By just being who YOU are, understand that YOU are capable of amazing feats. Full untold stories, unrealized dreams and sooo much more.
I've always been dedicated to the idea of you. I've been yours. I know now that I've always lost myself in thoughts of you (a man can dream right?) I don't know, maybe your going through it to. The motions, of relationships sinking. Maybe you're drowning in your sorrows. Writing aimless poetry to some imaginary other of your own. Maybe he's yours already and I'm to late. . .but just maybe I'm not. Wherever you are, Im here. Seeking my own healing. I hope you're doing the same or better even (you're probably waiting on me to get my sh!t together) I know its hard, but Im asking you not to give up on yourself or me.
Breaking Bad (Habits)
I've been breaking for some time now, but it WILL be worth it. . .'cause I know that I am.
I want you to know you are to but, YOU have to #believe it.
Im tired. Im frustrated. Im hurting.
I'm also learning that I can endure. Anything. I see now I'm becoming something different. Better. More. I don't know what that is yet, but I do know, now what I want it to be. ME. Unrestrained. Unrestricted. Free.
Im tired of holding myself back.
Im tired of pulling myself down.
Listen, Love, Im walking in the understanding that life happens. Its not always going to be beautiful, things won't always go your way. People will betray you, you will betray you. Sometimes you will fall. Shatter unevenly. I urge you to give yourself permission to break. Then allow yourself to come together as one. Whole.
Begin. Anew.
