With Love- Entry Two

It’s an unusual world we live in. There’s barriers where there should be open space and free reign. We’ve improved so much as a human race, technologically speaking. I never have to be near you to see you, or speak to you. I can express words of love and encouragement via text. With smileys that serve as a facade for emotion “😍😘❤️” unreal, numbingly frigid.

Don’t lose yourself in this sea of advances. Sometimes, we need that human touch. That warmth and comfort that comes from a hug and a peck on the cheek. Don’t rob yourself of the memories of smelling someone’s cologne (or perfume), a scent that burns into your brain and holds the power to connect you to the past. A look that strikes your heart and makes it flutter with excitement. The smile that weakens your knees. Or hearing your name made for that voice to say… Like a melody meant to be sang by only one so special it paralyzes you. A series of words etched on a paper that bring tears to your eyes or a pink hue to your face, the first hint of love or even lust. Nothing is more meaningful that the human connection we have with the world and with each other. Throughout your life maintain a true romance, with yourself. Fall in love and sometimes (hopefully more often than not) stop my dears, and smell the roses. So when it’s your time to grow old, you know you haven’t missed a thing.

Love, Me
