#this kind of love

some things I learned during the month of love (aka February) 💕
The Chinese character for "heart" is 心 (pronounced "xīn" in Mandarin). In Chinese culture, this character carries various meanings and is used in different contexts. Here are some key aspects associated with the Chinese character for "heart":
- 1. **Physical Organ:** Like in many languages, the character 心 refers to the physical organ, the heart, which is central to the circulatory system and often symbolizes life and vitality.
- 2. **Emotion and Feeling:** Beyond its anatomical sense, 心 is frequently used to represent emotions, feelings, and sentiments. It is associated with one's inner thoughts, emotions, and intentions.
- 3. **Mind and Consciousness:** In Chinese philosophy and culture, the character 心 is often used to represent the mind or consciousness. It extends beyond emotions to encompass one's thoughts, intentions, and mental state.
- 4. **Morality and Character:** The character is also linked to moral qualities and character. Concepts like sincerity, honesty, and integrity are expressed using the character 心. The idea is that these virtues originate from one's inner self.
- 5. **Central or Core Aspect:** The character is sometimes used to convey centrality or core aspects. For example, the term "core" or "center" in Chinese is often represented by the character 心.
- 6. **Symbolism in Traditional Chinese Medicine:** In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is associated with various aspects of health, both physical and mental. Balance in the heart's functions is considered crucial for overall well-being.
Understanding the meaning of the Chinese character for "heart" involves recognizing its multi-faceted nature, encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and moral dimensions. It is deeply embedded in Chinese language, philosophy, and culture, and its usage can vary depending on the context in which it is employed.

TW: Memoriam

From the first to the last. This has been a hard weekend. Just as suddenly as you arrived, you left. 7 years of love, of laughter, of antics. You filled a void in our hearts when you were dropped off to that first tiny basement we ever had as a family of 2, & you made our house a home as a family of 4. How lucky we were, to journey with you. How empty our house is without you. How much you helped, & healed. Thank you for being my sons first best friend, & the keeper of all my sorrows. May you always find the sunbeams. R.I.P. our Pippin Fat Chicken: 2017-2024 💔

LOVE PART II
The day we met
and got to know each other,
their mind and heart,
we realised
how beautiful a person can be,
Beauty that is defined
purely based on looks
in today’s time.
We found a connection
that has always been missing
for our whole life,
the sync of our souls. ✨
We like spending
our valuable time
with them,
Because we realised
how much time
we have already spent
without them
in this temporary world,
We understand that
time is the most
precious thing we have
because they are a part of us now,
and we don’t have enough of it.
We now know
that love has always been
this beautiful thing,
that we were just afraid of
because of the wrong people,
We now know
that we never asked for too much,
we were just searching for it
in all the wrong places.
Because all we ever wanted
was just their time
and some love.
We now understand
that love has always been
this pure and sacred thing,
but people had been
calling it names
defaming its beauty
by their very own actions
and cruel intentions.
May be because
they never meant love,
Because they never knew love.
Because they never understood love.

"His idea of female beauty was a woman so fat if you slapped her backside in the morning she’d still be jiggling when you got back home for dinner. " —The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker

What a fucking couple of weeks I tell 'ya. Polar vortex, means minus fifty celsius...that was not fun. At least I have cute tea mugs & tea things. I now send panda stance pics as proof of life to my friends who can't believe I actually live where it's this fucking cold. On the upside my kid has 2 new foods!!! Mr. Noodles (beef or chicken flavors) & fruit to go snacks! My cat is right done with this shit ass winter. More panda stance. Fun fact I have lost almost 15 lbs but my ass is still badonkadonking so my snowsuit is super uncomfortable because it's made for a man with no ass!
I had to move my art supplies from my upstairs craft room because of my partner having to move thier bedroom there. I value quality sleep, bedsharing drives me right fucking nuts so we learned after 3 years that separated bedrooms is awesome especially with shift work & parenting! They normally sleep downstairs but that's being renovated because we had a mini flood over the vortex week. I should title this damn thing basement episodes. 😒 ALSO, our back door just fell off, frame & all. The frost got in between the siding & popped it off. Repaired it good enough until spring. Then we had a lovely day of only minus thirty so the kids went to school & we went grocery shopping. They were out of school because the buses weren't running. It was so cold they grounded some planes so The American got to stay a few extra days! 🤣 Ugh I need a nap but the insurance people still haven't come. Supposedly today, but that's sounding like "When Covid is over." 😅

LOVE PART III
The day we met
and got to know each other,
we just knew
that we loved each other,
Love that has nothing to do
with physical attraction
or has anything to gain,
love that slowly grows within us,
love that is built on trust,
love that knows no boundaries,
love that sees only love,
It’s the kind of love
that is not just rare
but quite nonexistent,
Endangered if I may say.
This love is not about
owning a person,
controlling someone,
This love is not a literal cage,
but a cage of love.
It’s the kind of love that
makes us a better person,
encourages us to become
deserving for the other,
the kind of love
that is always
a conscious decision
in the making,
this love is
full of innocence,
this love is
the definition of peace.
In this kind of love
you don’t have to
question the other,
you don’t need proofs,
because you always find reassurance,
you’re not left confused,
you know they are here for you
and you’re for them,
you feel loved,
you feel heard and seen.
Most importantly,
this love knows respect.
This love is free,
because that’s how love
was always meant to be,
This love is patient,
This love is real,
This love is a fairy tale.
This love is logical,
yet magical.
ልvis

Es ist der Moment gekommen, in dem ich mir eingestehen muss, dass ich dich wohl für immer lieben werde. Dass ich jeden, der noch kommen und eine Rolle in meinen Leben spielen wird, mit dir vergleichen werde. Dass du für immer wie ein Schatten da sein wirst, auch wenn es mir nicht unbedingt bewusst ist.
Ich weiß, dass ich diese Art von Liebe, die ich für dich empfunden habe, für keinen anderen empfinden werde.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?
#almost wrote the champagne line as ''effervescent'' but legit could not write it without saying ''effervescent like a snail''#ah tumblr...#writeblr#warm up#idk . having trouble writing rn#ps i don't like to talk about it . it is my medical information. but before you ask. yes this is about being on the spectrum#i really don't like when ppl make my writing about how im [whatever ID]. i want it to ring true for the people who it rings true for#i don't want it to be like ''awwwww look at this person!!! she's the EXCEPTION!!! :)" .....#no.... not really.....#idk something gross happens whenever i admit to certain conditions and i turn into like inspiration p*rnography#like yes they actually let us use keyboards these days#furthermore i just... dont feel comfortable talking about this part of me. i had too bad of a childhood. adhd is one thing...#this one im like. still coming to terms with. which is like. my own journey.#idk. just please be kind. some things are more private than others. this one feels private to me.#i do not know how to help others w/this . and i do not know how to help myself. i will talk about it if im ever ready. idk if that will#actually ever happen#ty in advance i love u im kissing you we are kissing somewhere on the spectrum
