#AboutStraightForwardness
I left room for warmth. Your Warmth. But you took too long to say what you meant, beat around the bush like a wild man, so randomness settled in… and settled down. Back to square one. The spot, (cozy, I might add), is taken for now and you will have to entertain… entertain my soul,Continue reading “#AboutStraightForwardness”
#OverthinkingThangs
I am easily drifting towards the depth of the chiaroscuro This in between state where things never really feel comfortable; This place where we tippy toe so to not disturb the still of the Universe around us. My mind wanders as I get amazed about the grooves of the trees trunk, The softness of the grassContinue reading “#OverthinkingThangs”
#LifeBitsFallingIntoPlace
Isn’t it interesting how life can change so drastically in the space of a few months? How one year you are planning for future tense with someone and the next year you are just here, starting *fresh* cause there is literally nothing left but old pictures and fading memories. You wonder what’s next cause youContinue reading “#LifeBitsFallingIntoPlace”
#OnLustAndLoveAndEverythingInBetween (part3)
In logic and probability theory, two propositions (or events) are mutually exclusive or disjoint if they cannot both be true (occur). Shall we treat Lust and Love as two distinct functions evolving in two separate systems? How both those states relate to Happiness? It sounds concurrently simple and complicated, hence the trickiness. In a nutshell,Continue reading “#OnLustAndLoveAndEverythingInBetween (part3)”
#InLimbo
The way you talked to me makes it hard. It makes it hard to get involved with someone. What used to be easy became complicated. You declared you did not expect a thing, but would give me the world… #IfILetYou. You affirmed someone will always love me. #Unconditionally. That it’s written all over me. YouContinue reading “#InLimbo”
#IfUAskMeTo
I’m oversharing ‘cause, In reality who knows if We’ll ever meet again? From Now on Anything can happen… Your next move is inconsequential For what matters is mine Your next move is relevant Only if it includes my heart Handled with dignity Care for reciprocity I’m over sharing ‘cause In reality who knows if We’ll ever speak again?Continue reading “#IfUAskMeTo”
#FYI
Amazingly enough, life happens again in the most interesting way possible. I matter; yet, I feel so insignificant sometimes. I matter; yet, I feel like silence carries its weight so heavily on my shoulder it makes me bend over. Uneasiness rips my soul into pieces and make me reconsider how things should be handled… orContinue reading “#FYI”
#FirstBase
Soft and Sweet. I reminisce the Brightness of the morning. I reminisce the Taste of drunk kisses. I reminisce the Thrill of sleepless nights. I reminisce the Strength of my desire. I reminisce the Warmth of Your breath. & your tender caress. I reminisce the Scent of your face. Your hands through my hair. YouContinue reading “#FirstBase”
#FromNowOn
It’s interesting how one simple action can have phenomenal traction; how one silly little thing can affect one’s heart(s). #FromNowOn: Let’s not underestimate our power and how Well (or not so well) we fit into our surroundings: how fast the planet turns and how its moon revolution pulls and pushes the seas and all water-basedContinue reading “#FromNowOn”
#TheMessenger
“The Universe does not make any mistakes; She has been doing this ish* for a while now and it does not matter what you think you really want; I know you really, really want it, and it seems like this is IT – but you are confused; what you want is irrelevant because as theContinue reading “#TheMessenger”
#ProudWeAre
Pride is a necessary evil, which unbalanced, will make you waste time on love and might even bruise a beautiful relationship (to be) beyond repair; And yes, everyone’s goal is to protect their heart; and granted, indifference allows time for sensitive soul to heal accordingly, and yes: actions do speak louder than words, even thoughContinue reading “#ProudWeAre”
#AutoCensorship
I want to write but I can’t right now. Too many curious eyes, too many thirsty ears… I can’t tell the world what I think about or dream at night, for it is too personal and probably… No, never mind. I want to elaborate about that thrill, about those fears, about what makes me shiverContinue reading “#AutoCensorship”
#ResetButton
This is just perfect. Life. So. #Unique. #Exhilarating #Always. I did not get it at first, but it was meant to happen that way. When the soul goes through some type of trauma, and the shattered senses fall into deep amnesia, there is only one way to jog their memory back to what they usedContinue reading “#ResetButton”
#ADayInALife
It’s amazing the difference one day can make: You wake up feeling horrible, you lay down at night peaceful and collected. I’m so drastic and so impatient and so easily overwhelmed. Cause that’s who I am. Eventually, things swiftly slide into place as soon as I get into the right groove and feel comfortable; thingsContinue reading “#ADayInALife”
#Withdrawal
You know you made the right move to go #ColdTurkey but now, you are going through #Withdrawal, and that ish* hurt like a MF. You think you are ok, and ultimately you will be, but at that moment all Hell breaks loose. You know that some “events” have little to do with you; however, itContinue reading “#Withdrawal “
#ColdTurkey
My friend just asked me why I was so drastic. I replied: “Cause that is who I am” Passionate and deliberate. Sweet and soft and succulent… And drastic. #ColdTurkey ©️ Daphne Mia Essiet, 2015
#PTSD
Although #heartbreak does not kill you, it does a number on you; the fear of another encounter is sometimes so overwhelming that it almost does not matter you survived. You just can’t help but look over your shoulder and/or second guess yourself. You keep hoping, smiling, praying, chanting… or whatever else you usually do toContinue reading “#PTSD”
#Speechless
“There is no difference between time and any of the three dimensions of space except that our consciousness moves along it”. The Time Machine, G. Wells It is usually unexpected. You are suddenly experiencing an emotional roller coaster, a rush. It’s almost like, somehow, you are lapsing in(to) time, losing track of one of the independentContinue reading “#Speechless”
#BarkingUpTheWrongTree
“La goutte d’eau qui fait déborder le vase” is a French idiomatic expression, which literally means “the drop of water that has made the vase overflown”. I guess this could be translated in English by the straw that broke the camel’s back, although the accuracy of the French saying pertains much better to my situation.Continue reading “#BarkingUpTheWrongTree”
