“We should just kiss like real people do” -Hozier. Love is tangible and it is ethereal. I can think of ethereal love affairs, but I really have had only one tangible, physical and sensual. As any real person, one might feel that love applies to more than one person in your life. I am tempted by compassion and depthful perceptions of life, while using my imagination and appreciating the supple beauty of so many humans and experiences, to hug, kiss and love others.

Where is it important to apply righteous rules? I feel that there is a balance with applying these rules while swimming against them as a tide. I can penetrate and break through their visceral light and fully comprehend them, for a moment. But then I find myself somewhere else in time; in my mind. I have true compassion and desire to change the world, while fully participating. This is my motivation… and this motivation? Where does it lead me? What am I motivated for? Who am I motivated for? It is God, Steve, myself? Is it the end result and what I wish to achieve that motivates me? Some say that sometimes love is not enough, but I am trying earnestly to live by love, and understand what this means. I feel however, that the definition of a word, any word is subjective. I should still be able to feel whatever I feel when I hear your words, my words, any words. Part of knowing myself is validating what I feel and knowing this as my truth. When I die, will others tell my story and see me for who I am, potentially the most beautiful me that exists? Will I ever be able to really experience my story, hear it in a way that mimics what I imagine for others? Perhaps this is a doorway to love and relationships. Perhaps relationships are the doorway to understanding a story, any story. And through knowing and having compassion for other’s stories, I heal and comprehend my own, or at least approach understanding it. Love is the ticket, and it will take me on a trip; the best trip of all.
