For you and for me, the highest moment, the keenest joy is not when our minds dominate but when we lose our mind—and you and I both lose it in the same way, by love.
— Anais Nin.

Quench Your Appetite for Adventure

The impression is worth more than the outcome.

And,

The idea cannot override the impression.

This is the current context of my relationship.

I look forward to seeing him all week. I am filled with excitement by thoughts of our engagement.

I do not anticipate the conversation. I do not imagine our interaction. I simply feel the trust and thrill when I feel his name. In my mouth/ in my body. My blood rushes from my heart—that little throbbing organ that beats.

// I hope, I hope, I hope.

Sit in the discomfort of not saying anything.

Don’t fix it.
Don’t ask questions.

I am doing all the emotional labour and there is nothing tying us together outside for what I have done.

It will come undone just as quickly or,

He will have to step up and do some of the work.
You have said it already-
it will move beyond the words.

Be open. Be gentle. Be kind.
Balance is restored when you quietly ask for what you want.
