Description

SUNDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2014


You are alone, as I am. I can feel it in the silences between your thoughts, see it in the movement of your hands.
Your hair settles in a way that speaks of remoteness. In spite of all your seeking - for a place, for a belonging, an escape - I know that loneliness is all you've ever had. 


I feel I could be all of my selves with you; the child, the neurotic, the mystic, the melancholic... And you wouldn't fear the recesses in me. I could challenge you - to be better.

I know how you've longed for that challenge, but that you've feared it just as much as you've craved it. 

I have always known you capable of great things, and you have feared me, too, for knowing I could bring them out in you.

Greatness brings with it responsibility; it's natural you should fear. You know you are bound to disappoint me. I want to tell you now that it's okay - I'm bound to disappoint you too.
But know that I'd forgive your darkest shortcomings and your gravest betrayals - even those - because I know they would arise out of your despair.
If they were to be born of indifference, I'd have nothing left for you, but despair is something I understand.

Your final fear is that I would love you, with the kind of love that would alter you forever. And you wonder who might you be, if not alone ?

'I fear that you will
intrude upon my life and
change it forever

I know who I am alone,
but not who I am with you'


I think that quote might be one of the most beautiful - and most true - things I've ever read.
Combine it with this gorgeous image, and it just about brought a tear to my eye

Her photographs are beautiful too. I can see why you like her so much

It's always a little disconcerting to read/see/hear something that seems to be so exactly about yourself, coming from a complete stranger. It's happened to me a few times in my life; there's always the discomfort of having been seemingly exposed, followed by a rising sense of reassurance that you are not alone.
It's also a shock to realize that some of us are far more alike than we realize.
