Naturally, I find it hard to breathe when days on end have lapsed without speaking to you.
Progress... we call it progress when we're both emotionally a mess without one another...
Funny how it's so much more difficult to not do something that to simply do it.
I wish I never had to let you go because I see a world that's so filled with joy with the image of you and me... laughter and surprisingly warm winter days.
But, I promised myself I would try to write something different tonight.
I'm trying to capture the million and one emotions running through me tonight; the sadness, the happiness, the satisfaction, the dissatisfaction, the hunger for more, and the pain of longing.
The girl who asks for nothing gets everything in return and she who asks for everything receives nothing..
I don't think I've witnessed a saying more true.. But, I'd have to argue is there a deadline or a time limit as to when that applies? I'm 20 years old and have been confident in my skill but humble in my actions... receptive to criticism and responsive to query. But the discouragement comes when the waiting gets old and longevity in patience wears thin.
It's a bad habit ignoring rewarding moments until it appears there hasn't been any reward at all. I've been writing in search of the perfect story. The correct words to use to write the story of us and yet nothing quite does the job. My skill is exhausted and I feel like I'm torturing myself in attempting to honestly exercise it without proper inspiration. Granted the memory was once enough to carry me from letter to letter or one word to the next but today the memory is but a faded picture aching inside my heart hoping for more to accompany it...
"Writing a Love Story 101..."
you must live, survive through and continue to have your own, love story... otherwise writing of it becomes too unreal and much like a fairy tale that we've all read before. Don't pick up the pen or save the draft if you don't feel you have adequate research and experiences to reflect on within your love story. Although you may share many unique and fulfilling experiences with your true love the true art of knowing a love story is living it day in and day out, not missing it and trying to recapture those special details that made it so unbelievably wondrous between you and him.
