Ledger of Life

It often seems that life’s moments fall into either of two categories: as debt collecting mechanisms or as life-giving forces

Every action, spoken word, conversation, debate, argument, and decision exert a specific, time-bound pressure of X magnitude, whether positive or negative

Each “Event” tattoos itself onto the timeline, unable to be altered

  • Those things that have been done and should have been done deliver a positive impact
  • Those things that have been done but should not have been done deliver a negative impact
  • Those things that haven’t been done but should have been done deliver a negative impact
  • And those things that haven’t been done and rightfully should not have been done deliver a positive impact

And cumulatively, they may coalesce at certain points in life

Zigzagging above and below the line of equilibrium until the point at which life finally ceases

But rest assured, because life is not privy to the emotional overlays of any Event

It does not bother with the way you view what happened, but rather the objective reality of what happened

When the sun folds in on itself and your pulse becomes rumor, the final answer is up to you

Will you leave behind wisdom and wealth? Or pain and poverty?

Will you leave behind an obituary to be lost among the masses?

Or a legacy that will long be spoken of beyond your physical presence?

How will you sign off?

Forevers

Maybe not just in this life — After all, it took so long to find one another. Gripping the edges of our toughest trials, Desperate, yearning for something real. Aimlessly parading through the abyss, Losing over and over again to mortality. Eternity once felt like a far-fetched dream — No! said fate — in this life and in others, Adelina, a creation for all forevers.

Forever / Siempre

Today becomes forever.  Until my dying breath, I am forever yours willingly.  And after, may God provide us with light and love to continue onwards. To show the world that love is truly pure.  To show the world that otherworldly love exists.  To show the world that divine devotion is godly.  May we kneel to His love, so that ours is golden.  May we succumb at sacrifice.  May we pray for peace.  May we beg for benevolence.  Bless us with Your mighty righteousness. Bless me with strength. Bless her with calmness. For love is a duality. At once it is steadfast and concrete. And in the same light, fluid and soft. Give unto us the same relief and love. To end wars, cure disease, and punish crime. Give unto us... divinity in eternity. ---- Hoy se convierte en para siempre. Hasta mi último aliento, soy tuyo para siempre, por voluntad propia. Y después, que Dios nos conceda luz y amor para seguir adelante. Para mostrarle al mundo que el amor es v...

Hold On

Love, in its purest form, is attempting with your whole soul and being, to truly step into the shoes of the person before you -   To see as they see, to feel their pain, to relish in their pleasures.   To take them as they are, in darkness and in light, in their holy hours, and in their hellish ones.   To stay, despite their flaws, imagined or real, despite the moments when they fall short.   That you can still find that one atom onto which to cling. The one that gave life to the love. You hold on dearly, because to lose it … Would mean losing your whole universe.
