keeping the soft side alive!
Just an idea I'd like to share :)
So I've been keeping up pretty well in writing letters almost every day to my boyfriend while he is at boot camp. When I got his first letter he told me that he "can already feel the rebuilding process starting" he feels like he's "going to be a huge asshole to people in general" upon his return ><
Since we met, it's pretty much been my responsibility (not that i'm complaining!) to keep the kid in him alive.. flooding his life with my funny little habits, fluffy baby animals, good ol sober fun, and all kinds of magical sugary goodness! (don't worry, I do know to restrain myself for the next few months x])
Well, I have a new job apparently!
This started out as a 'filler' type thing to finnish off letters (because you know, some days, there's just not CRAP to talk about), but I've been ending my notes with nice little poems (or any words) I find. Not the terribly cheesy lovey dovey ones, but any beautiful ones (in various aspects).
Apparently it's been helping! Sending him these little treasures.. Poetry just has that calming quality, I guess. Plus it's probably a nice break to my ramblings. We've always done this kind of thing of sharing our precious literary finds, and now it's helping to keep his soft side alive ^^
My favourite source is theysaid I just put the ones I like to my memories to save for a rainy day!
My favourite find so far:
The World Wakes Up - Andrew Michael Roberts
So we stop at the side of the road, and there is the
largest tree and a long kiss with the hazard lights flashing.
Everything is the beginning of something. A sycamore
seed, a windshield fogging up. The first fist of rain pounding
down.
Come closer. Let's get our arms around each other and
count all the bones we can. Between us, we have rungs for a
ladder leading into the leaves and fingers left over for climbing.
Two tongues to perch there and sing while the world wakes up.
What will we miss of our skin and gristle? Our
disengaged hearts.
When you're finally no one, what else do you do but
call out your name?
Enjoy and have a nice evening, hope you and your loved ones are all doing well :D
