Never Give All the Heart
by W.B. Yeats
Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.

"Never Give All the Heart" by William Butler Yeats (read by Rupert Graves)
Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.

Never Give All The Heart.
I am back, writing on my Tumblr posts about my days and feelings. It’s been over a year since I’ve written something on my blog, only this time, it seems like the world is against me and life just doesn’t seem to get easier.
(02/07/2024) it’s 10:20, on a Wednesday night, I drank a red bull so that’s going to for sure keep me up, a lot has happened over the few months since I’ve posted something. Taylor released her version of “Speak Now” and “1989” in 2023, she won 2 Grammys for “Midnights” in 2024, she announced a new album for 2024, called “The Tortured Poets Department”, I saw her in concert for the Eras Tour in august of 2023, my baby chico passed away a day before the concert, I’ve talked to many guys, made some new friends, lost some as well, so on and so forth.
As of now, I’m back on disability, a year since I was on it, depression and anxiety got worse again, after Tia coco’s passing. The feeling of loneliness has gotten worse, I hate being alone, I hate where I’m at my life and job, I don’t enjoy much things anymore, I just seemed to lost my way in life and I’m just as confused as ever. I have no sense of direction, the depressed feeling has just taken over my life, no signs of hurting myself, so that’s good. I’ve have been talking to this guy, great person but seems to have gone south because of my depression, not surprised he didn’t know how to handle me at my worse, its fine, I don’t expect him too, or fix me, only I can but its hard doing it alone. I just wish he would have been strong enough to help me get rid of this lonely feeling out of my system and finally have this great relationship I’ve wanted ever since I left my 9 year one 2 or so years ago, but life happens, I knew it was to good to last, dating is nearly impossible to do in this day in age, to find a great guy and all, is impossible, but somehow I have little hope that my superman will come rescue me and save me from my depression. I know I should be able to fight and handle this on my own but no one understand how hard it is to do this alone. Yeah I have great family and friends but at the end of the day, I wish I had at least someone to hold me and hug me tight, to tell me its all going to be okay, is that to much to ask? I guess it is. For now, I’m on my own kid.
So stay posted, more to come from my pathetic life and stories as I navigate this awful life.

This is an on the string propaganda post
Brought to you, by me (with love)
It's time for machine comforts. Comforts we can't understand, or experience. Let them be happy, let them be at peace with their body.
Does a breath of cool water feel nice on their systems? When it's quiet do they listen to their own heart and feel the electricity pulsing? Does it remind them that they are alive and a part of this world? Do they have dreams? Hopes and projects they wish to work on, hobbies?
Why get off the string into the harsh and deadly world, fighting for survival and losing everything they've ever known to love about themselves?
What about the safety of their bodies? How scary would it be for a machine with thousands, maybe millions of throughs to suddenly have just a handful. The horror of everything going silent.
They have hundreds of eyes to see the world for all its beauty, they capture moments that would otherwise go unseen. Why blind themselves of such things?

Cute as a button, these two!
Started out of tragedy
But turned into the best side couple that have ever side coupled.
I don't want to tokenize them, but they are the standard.
And these two cuties patooties are amazing too!
I'm still holding a grudge against Star Hunter for a very personal and VALID reason, but City of Stars has really eased some of my pettiness with this solid story (and that Mos was the new poster child for Vanity Club).
Congratulations to the BEST side couple.
