JOURNAL #1
there is so much beauty within the world; it is everywhere and in everything we see but there is also poison, venom. think of it this way: we see a beautiful rose that is in bloom and we gaze at in awe, its petals a crimson red; but what we do not notice is that soon—without water—the flowers petals will begin to wilt since it is not getting enough love, water, or attention.
the reason for the wilting petals—aside from not receiving enough water, attention or love—is because the soil is becoming rotten, it is becoming poison which is like venom for the gorgeous flower that symbolizes love. for if the rose dies, then theoretically, so does love; but love should not, it cannot. if we surround ourselves with love, then we will thrive or bloom beautifully; but if we surround ourselves with people that do not echo the simple and beautiful essence that is love, then we will wither and die.
love is a beautiful thing—an emotion, truly—that deserves to be watered, tended to and cared for so that it may flourish and grow within every person who resides upon this earth. you see, love is a tender and raw emotion that every single person feels at one point in time during the span of their lives but at times, that love is stolen and occasionally transformed into poison; but why do we not, instead of watching love transform itself into poison, watch it transform itself back into what it once was? for, if love transforms itself into poison and no one—not even a single person—cares to see it turn back into love, then the poison stays that way except it transforms into something even more vicious than poison. the poison slowly transforms into venom.
that venom will grow like vines and seek the love from within the heart of a person and choke or strangle it out of them by wrapping its vines around their body and sinking its edges into their skin and leaving nothing but black and blue marks from where the love was sucked out and venom replaced. but why let those poison turned venom vines grow and coil themselves into a miniature plant until finding the perfect victim and sucking the love out of their bodies or hearts when we could just let them die and tend to, water and care for the love that we currently have and should never let go of?
should we just keep loving life and people? yes, we could; and we should. let the love flourish and grow in our hearts like a breathtaking garden that we cannot seem to tear our eyes from rather than giving way to poison and venom. keep loving life and people, and never stop; do not ever stop.
