“Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echos. I tell myself it’s time now, gotta let go. But moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head, burning red. Darling it was red.”
Why can’t it ever be as simple as this: I want you to want me.
Just an interim cog…
You know that saying - “just a cog in the wheel”?
Just one in a sea of faces.
If my identity is firmly rooted in Christ then I shouldn’t feel this way, but I can’t help feeling meaningless. I’m just another college student. Another job application. Another unpaid Intern. Another friend. Lover. Girl. Another leader. dreamer. Wonderer.
So what makes me unique? Where do I fit. Not just fit. Where do I belong?
I want to feel that I am wanted. Loved. Pursued. That I matter. I want to rest in the fact the if I disappeared someone would notice and stop at nothing to find me. To rescue me from these questions, to save me from normalcy.
I want to stand out and to be loved for exactly who I am. Not just because I am another cog that allows the wheel to role. I want to be someone who makes the wheel brighter. Bolder. Better.
I want to encourage and to make change. To live and to love well.
“What if only my one heart was all you gained from all it cost, well I know you’d still be left with a reason to willingly offer your life. I am not just a man vastly lost in this world. Lost in a sea of faces. Your body is the bread and your blood is the wine, because you traded your life for mine. Just one in a million faces.” - Kutless
#C.S. Lewis #Quotes #Truth #Love #Life #Vulnerable
“Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.“C.S. Lewis
Why is it that the great ones are always taken?
“I’m an architect of days that haven’t happened yet. I can’t believe a month is all it’s been. You know my paper heart, the one I fill with pencil marks. I think I might have gone and bid you well. So glad you didn’t see the nervous wreck I used to be. Never thought a girl could be so small. You never look at me like I’m a liability. I bet you never think I’d been at all…but you’ve got a face to call home. Maybe I could stay a while, I’m talkin’ like all of the time. You’ve got a face to call home.”
John Mayer “A Place To Call Home”
It would seem that men these days are completely hopeless. I’m starting to wonder if there are any good ones out there…
If you’re out there “Romeo” - I would love to meet you. For now, I’m just going to pretend that you don’t exist outside a fairytale.
This is for you, you-know-who…..
“Seems I was walking in the wrong direction. I barely recognized my own reflection. Scared of love, but scared of life alone.”
