well said. I need to break down the hierarchies in my friendships. Trib will ALWAYS be my girl though. :D But I’ve had so many beautiful friendships. I can wait for the others i will encounter. I’ve had this then where I will generally choose not to pursue a relationship with a friend out of being afraid of what it will eventually do to the friendship… one that was already good.
But I’ve had more than a few friendship where the lines could’ve been shaky between friendship and lovers… minus the sex.
Je suis avide, gourmand, exigeant, égocentrique (voire égoïste par moment), je veux vivre et vivre fort et je n’ai pas peur de me péter la gueule. Alors quand il m’arrive ce qui est en train de m’arriver avec toi, quand ça me tombe dessus, je ne me pose pas de questions, j’y vais! Et je trouve ça bien comme ça, je suis dans le moment présent (en fait, c’est toi qui est dans mon présent, je te vois partout, tu tapisses l’intérieur de ma tête). Je sais que je suis sincère quand je te dis que je t’aime. Par contre, j’ai tort de nous projeter dans l’avenir et tu as raison de ne rien promettre. Pourtant, j’avance propulsé par l’espoir et si je suis heureux c’est que je suis convaincu de te revoir et j’ai déjà l’intention que ce soit souvent (ah oui, j’oubliais, je suis aussi un garçon déterminé).
Aussi, ça me ferait mal au cul (et pas qu’au cul) que tout ceci ne soit qu’un feu de paille. Je sais pas, ça va si vite. Ça va vite, mais je ne doute pas. Douter de mes sentiments ça m’est déjà arrivé. Je racontais autour de moi que je n’avais aucune idée de ce que ce serait d’être amoureux à nouveau, je me demandais comment je saurais. Eh bien, ç’a été très facile.

my favourite line: “it would hurt my ass (and not just my ass) if all of this were just a summer fling. i don’t know, it all happened so quickly. it is happening so quickly, but i have no doubts. i have doubted my feelings in the past. i used to tell those around me that i had no idea if i could fall in love again, or how i would know if i did.
it’s been very easy.”
Love is a complicated thing. Sometimes it blows my mind how easily you can hurt the people you care about. I think we’re supposed to believe that when you love somebody, everything is perfect and you never do anything fucked up and they never do anything fucked up. And I think we’re supposed to believe that if we do something fucked up that we don’t love that person, and also that we are not loveable ourselves.
Bullshit.
Love isn’t this neat little package that you unwrap with ease and grace. It’s a piece of gum that’s sat out in the sun for too long so that when you try to unwrap it, it sticks to your fingers and then you inevitably get it all over yourself. Seeing through your insecurities, your self loathing, your defensiveness, - or rather negotiating and bargaining with these things - takes a hell of a lot of work and mistake making. Articulating your boundaries and treating yourself with kindness when someone you love hurts you or acts out of selfishness takes just as much work. Thanks to the people in my life who make healthy loving a priority. I am constantly learning from you, and because of you I can love much more fully.
