Heart On Your Sleeve
This topic was created in the Writing ✍️ forum by venusianbull on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 and has 10 replies.
I've always worn my heart on my sleeve. I do believe this a blessing and also a curse. My feelings are transparent. Everything I feel is in my voice and in my eyes. I've always been this way. I was warned as a child to toughen up. Well, creeping up on 40 and I'm not tough yet. I often wonder at this aspect of myself. Is it there to ensure the wounding is deeper, the knife striking heart
before all else? Why do I lay it all out on the line I wonder. What keeps me going. Why is this optomism always present. That perhaps one day someone will stand up and take notice of how very wonderful I am. Self doubt. A prisoner of my own mind, a wrecked hulk of exposed nerve endings and bleeding synapsis. I tend to blow things up in my mind to unbelievable proportions. Placing importance on the trivial at times. I can talk the talk and walk the walk, but inside I feel as though I'm a husk. I have so much capacity to love inside of me. Perhaps I'm just lonely. Afraid of being alone in the world. I've had my feet on terra firma for a year now, and I miss so many things.
I wonder, too, why it's necessary for all of us that feel so intensely to hurt so deeply. Yin and yang I suppose. What makes one think one moment that the world is at their feet and with one sentence it's all gone horribly awry? Who am I and what do I seek? Is there one single person in the world that can go toe to toe with me and just accept me for what I am? Who I am? I'm not talking about castles and moonbeams, and quite frankly Cinderella and the rest of the Disney princesses can take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. What I'm talking about is someone to hold me when I cry, lift me when I'm down. To take my crap, to allow me to take their crap. To just know that they're mine. No questions asked. Someone with the guts to know right down to the ground that I'm theirs as well. That I don't have to say "I love you" all the time. That I express it in so many other ways. That I'll hold you when you're weak and hold you when you're strong. That I'll pump my fist to the skies and call down the thunder because I'm so proud you're MINE. No time, no distance, no space. Someone to get raucous with, to dance with, to laugh with until I can't breath. Someone to kiss and make love with.

Someone to bounce ideas off of and know your opinions and thoughts actually matter. Someone to argue with, shout at, but know at the end of the day they're still hanging tough with and FOR you.
What do you do when someone calls to you so strongly you can't get your feet underneath you? How do you handle it. "Play it cool, don't blow it." "Be chilly, don't be a psychotic twit." I wonder why I can't just feel what I feel. It's as natural as breathing to me. And yes, I suppose it is frightening in a way to have someone with all that swirling around them because at times the intensity level is off the charts.
They say the thrill is in the chase. What if you don't want the chase? What if you just want to stand stock still and scream "HERE I AM"? I'm ready to take on all the bullshit and still be here. I'll listen and respond, hell, I'll even make tea and bring out the tissues with a blanket when you're ill. What if you're tired of games, so damned sick of it all that you just want to cut a wide swath through all of it and lay it out there. Will it be collected, or just tossed aside like rubbish? It's the unknown that's so frightening. All the mind trips of what does he/she really think. Can you make yourself too accessible, and ahhhhhha, there's another game. I'll show him/her. I won't be there. And what does that prove? That you're inconsistent? Well who in their right mind wants that? I sure as shit don't. I don't want hot/cold. One side of it is a wonderland of undiscovered territory and the other sucks the mold right off the side of a wheel of cheese.
We all want reassurances, don't we? Well sometimes you just have to suck it up and accept you're not going to get them. Not in word, not in deed. Worlds a bitch and Gaia is pissed off.

No problem VB
I know what its like to have a watery heart, seeing beauty in everyone, and loving in the moment. And giving your very soul to the one that you love the most.
*sigh* That's it.
Mr. Nice... are you still trying to discover this, you Scorp you. xx

Your venus in pisces compared to my venus in virgo. Your heart is watery and mine is hard as earth. Hmm, something for me to think about. Loved this btw...VBclick to expand
Thank you LibraLuv.
LOL I know it is.
Thank you aPP. ??? Every woman deserves love. Not halfway, not middle of the road or 'possibly', but something honest and forthright. Something to count on, not vanish like smoke in the breeze. I've been doing quite a bit of looking at self of late and I've come up with some truths I do believe. Me banging away on a keyboard helps isolate each one. ^ That above is one of them. That I am indeed a good woman, that I am faithful and kind and true. At times I feel a bit square peg in round hole, I may not slot into a convenient little niche and remain there, like a doll upon a shelf. Something to be admired, then set back. I am fully deserving to have someone at my side. Just because he's not here now does not mean he does not hear my voice. It's hope you see. And quite a lot of it. It's what keeps me going.
