Something different.
471 playsunsatisfied satisfaction
I realize life is never ending struggle. Its in our very nature to want more. That’s what keeps us going through all the bullshit. That simple desire for more is what drives us to live on. Yet we get so caught up in trying to be something more that we lose ourselves in the process. We let our wants drag us down in disappointment. The world tells us to be perfect. To have a perfect body, to always be happy, to read books, make lots of money, to be perfect, and the list goes on. Yet life isn’t perfect, its in the imperfection that life thrives. So why fight it? Why do we continually judge ourselves and believe ourselves to be inadequate or not good enough? Instead, why can’t we accept certain things for what they are, while at the same time never giving in. By understanding our weaknesses and faults, while at the same time striving for more, we can find find that unsatisfied satisfaction. Its not about reaching some ultimate goal of perfection. Its about finding that delicate balance between who we are and we can be. That unsatisfied satisfaction is found in that never ending, constantly changing, forever wonderful, unknown thing we call life.
Thoughts cross my mind. From one thought to another I ponder. A mix of want and need found among them. They play games with my conscience and push against my will. Never still, I find myself torn between the pulls of their desire. Yet I know the heart without thought falters, lost in the emotions of our fire. Just as, do thoughts without heart grow cold from our calculating minds. They must be together. Even as they seem to hate each other. When one finds balance with the other, to use love in unison with one another, there comes that delicate peace of having a life, well lived.
I would go to hell and back again if it meant saving you….
because in doing so, you would have saved me.
"She sat a little higher than I, and whenever in her solitary ecstasy she was led to kiss me, her head would bend with a sleepy, soft, drooping movement that was almost woeful, and her bare knees caught and compressed my wrist, and slackened again and her quivering mouth, distorted by the acridity of some mysterious potion, with a sibilant intake of breath came near to my face. She would try to relieve the pain of love by first roughly rubbing her dry lips against mine; then my darling would draw away with a nervous toss of her hair, and then again come darkly near and let me feed on her open mouth, while with a generosity that was ready to offer her everything, my heart, my throat, my entrails, I gave her to hold in her awkward fist the scepter of my passion."
-Vladimir Nabakov, Lolita (via philphys)We all go through those testing moments in our lives, when life seems to get so tangled up in the guilty conscious of our shortcomings. When it seem that its all too late to go back to that point when life was so sincere and true. We bear this empty pain that no one may understand, but everyone feels. What was once a free and wild life comprised of simple experiences, filled with ignorant bliss, turns to shit. And as we sulk in the sorry attempt to justify the actions of our greedy selves, we cannot deny the real truth, that we’re just too stubborn to follow what the love of our emotions compel us to do. So subtle but clear are the vices of who we are, those chains that will linger long after being broken. We are all different and unique, no two people alike, and so too are our sins that come in different forms, each unique to every individual. But I do not fret because I know that through some underlying understanding of the constantly changing flow of acceptance, love, and happiness, we can find that perfect satisfaction in ourselves.
Imperfect = The word “I’m” is in the word imperfect. By ourselves we are imperfect. But in the beautiful chaos of what we call life, together we can share in each others best and worse and can become something perfect through the bridges of true friendship and love.
You left me silent and unsettled, but hell it probably was for the better.
You left me broken and regretful, but yet it never changed the truth.
That a part still remains, unshattered beneath what life brings my way.
"If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already."
-Gabriel García Márquez (via philphys)feelings come and go
they are the urges that vanish in a fleeting instant
hasty as they come rushing in
always to be forgotten
but actions………
actions are forever
they are the consequences engraved in marble of time
cast in the fiery furnace of regrets
never to be forgotten
Enough is only enough when you accept that its never enough. That in the tireless struggle of what is known as life, there in the never ending cycle of ups and downs, in the turmoil of it all, alas we may find peace in the hushed chaos of life.
