I never wanted a perfect relationship. I just want someone to try as hard as I do. Time and time again, it’s the same old story. People say that I expect too much, that I can’t reasonably expect to find perfection, that I have to learn to settle for someone who is just ‘good enough’. But what those people don’t seem to understand is that it’s not about perfection. It never has been. I don’t need perfection. I don’t need someone to be perfect for them to be enough for me. All I’m asking for – all I’ve ever asked for – is for someone who will love me as much as I love them. Someone who brings the same commitment, the same enthusiasm, the same energy to the relationship that I bring. I don’t care about presents, candlelit dinners, or big grand gestures. I don’t need any of that. I’ve never cared about finding someone who will ‘tick’ all of the right boxes, or someone who will make a big show of things, or put me up on a pedestal, or worship me. That doesn’t appeal to me at all. All I need is someone who I have a DEEP and GENUINE CONNECTION with. Someone who’s willing to put as much effort in to making things work as I am. Someone who will LISTEN to me like I will LISTEN to them, someone who cares as much about me as I do about them. I want to be able to trust the person I’m with completely. I want to know that they have my back, and that they always will. I want them to TRUST ME. I want someone whose arms I can fall asleep at night, safe and SOUND, knowing that they’ll be there in the morning, that they’ll love me just as much, that they’ll laugh at my terrible jokes and at the goofy faces I pull. I want real love; I want a real, genuine bond. I want to be with someone for whom I’m their first choice, not second best. I want someone who loves me for me, who shows me they care. I know that perfection isn’t possible. I know that every relationship gets rocky from time to time. That’s WHY I want someone who is as willing to make things work, as ready to go the distance as I am. I want someone who I can depend on, who knuckles down when things get tough, rather than running away. I want someone with whom I can talk honestly and maturely about the problems we face. I want someone who knows what it takes to make it work. BECAUSE I don’t want a perfect relationship. I just want something real. I want someone who loves me as much as I love them.

I genuinely hope you find this someday. I found mine, so i know it exists out there. There are too many people who are hurting and cant be real with themselves about it, let alone other peope. Every once in a while though, someone comes along and decides they would rather put in the work to heal, than hurt other people. I know for a fact, there is such a person whos looking for that very same genuine connection, and is willing to grow and put in the work they need to grow together. Dont give up hope just yet. Keep growing, and striving. One day it will pay off with someone who will do the same. Bless

The Science of a Love Revolutionised

Positivity resonance is an interesting concept. Your energy feeds my energy and we grow together. Quantum entanglement the pinnacle. The just is of it all. Unashamedly effortless. Interdependent and healthy. A luxury. A once in a lifetime if you are lucky.

We try to hide in silence, to escape the heart's despair, But pain is a persistent guest, that's always lurking there. It seeps into our quiet nights, and whispers every day, A constant reminder of the hurt, that refuses to fade away.

There was a little boy, But a hatchling, a "new bird", In that day there was great joy, A new existence came to the world, And so he was loved and cared for, Nurtured and celebrated, Learned to walk, learned to talk, Even his school days finally made it, Time to grow, Make friends,... read more

A Silent fight

I reach for stars but fall through space's darkness. a fleeting dream I can’t embrace. Roots run deep, yet I’m untied, trapped in time, numb inside.

First Post

During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions. At first, I started with a fantasy book that I'd been toying with for years and found that one of the characters should be a bit of a poet. Suffice it to say I am no poet. But it became an outlet I threw myself into.... (edited) read more

Love tropes!

Okay as tragic as it is, my favourite love trope is star crossed lovers. Two people that just seem so perfect for each other that are just simply meant to be together but simply can't. It's a sad tragedy but I personally find it to be my favourite love story in novels 💞💞💞
