Flash Forward: Unchained Melody


Illustration - GDBee ART


Sitting in front of my laptop, I thought about that night, and everything I felt at that moment...life can make it so hard to hold onto what's real.  I sat there, eyes closed, re-living every second.  I needed to put this into words that others could ingest and understand.  I was finding this especially difficult because I was agitated, and hadn't been able to put anything down on paper.  I went back to this particular place in my mind hoping that it would provide the much-needed inspiration (and nuts!) I was going to need to overcome Landon and mine's latest Battle Royal.  I was desperately trying to return to our source.  I had reached a point in our relationship where the impenetrable walls that he puts up when he's going through something had to come down, and it was time to face me...

Since that night at the waterfront, it's been just he and I.  We have definitely hit our occasional bump or two (or ten!)  along the road, but always find our way back to each other.  After much trial, error, and tears, I realized that we were causing each other so much unnecessary pain by walking away and holding on to things that really don't matter.  There's just no such thing when it comes to us.  Even when we not physically in each other's presence, the mental connection is constant, and undeniable.  Pretending it's not real is just as insane as the whole thing sounds...To walk out the door without a destination and to be led straight to him EVERYTIME....At this very moment, Landon and I are not speaking.  It's the reason for my agitation, and why I'm struggling through my latest writi assignment.  Do you know how hard it is to write about love when you aren't in contact with the object of affection?!  Impossible; that's how hard...

Mark Twain once said, "When all else fails, write what your heart tells you.  You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."  Truer words were never spoken, so here goes...What my heart is telling me right now is that she's TIRED of going for broke?!  Why is it always me professing how I feel?!  When it comes to matters of the heart, I have never been shy, desperately trying to live my truth.  To pretend, because that's exactly what it is, to feel otherwise is pointless.  I can't think of one person who would ever say they were ever unsure of how or what I was feeling.  Though extremely guarded initially, once I KNOW, hiding how I feel is futile.  In the past few years, Landon has become(or at least he THINKS he has!) his own person Avri expert.  Needless to say, he is fully aware of every idiosyncrasy that is me; and has made my inability to stop myself from saying whatever is in my head whenever he is around his own personal form of torture...He is NOT forthcoming with what's on his mind, as with ANY man.  It's like the closer I get and the more I say, the further he retreats.  When this happens, it's up to me to seek him out.  This most recent spat was no different, landing us right back in the  place I least like to be...

This time, I say fuck that.  Yup, that's how I feel!  You know what, I an sick and tired of being the bigger person!  At what point does it stop being petty and trivial, and gets to what it should have been about from the beginning, the unconditional love between a man and woman; deeming it untouchable?!  When does the divine masculine overtake the ego and says, "This is the woman I love, she is mine...born into this world to be with ME; and nobody else.  I WILL NOT let her walk away."  Going base off of what's going on at this very moment, I would say NEVER.  As the feminine divine, I've grown weary of performing both roles.  I won't do it anymore, for ANYONE.  I want emotional maturity, and the ability to handle the magnitude and depth of what's being felt; not fear of the unknown.  Put yourself out there the way I ALWAYS have and show me that you're not a liar.  I want full ownership, unafraid of what it means to love a woman as you love yourself.  I'm ready for the person who understands that there is no such thing as right or wrong when it comes to love, only the lesson that comes out of the situation...to be used to GROW.  It's completely free from shame or regret, knowing that the right decision is the one that moves you forward, and the two of you flourish...

To be literally pulled in some random direction without ANY control; synchronicities soo abundant that you actually start ignoring them out of spite; to SCREAM at the Universe, begging for the signs to stop.  All you want is to be in your own space, with your own SINGULAR thoughts...Truth is, you carry their heart inside your own; making you ONE.  I give up!!  At this point, I'm responsible for breaking my own heart, and that I CANNOT have.  This time, Landon will need to jump; I'm already all in...Now try and focus Avri; where were we?!  Oh yeah, we were just about to leave Richmond for school...

Flash Forward: The Twin Flame Connection

              One of the things I get the most comments on when it comes to Avri James and Landon is about the Twin Flame Connection, what are my thoughts on it, and most importantly, do I believe in it.  Most of you guys out there want to know whether or not I consider what Avri and Landon have a TFC, and WHEN would it come into play in their story...Ask and ye shall receive!  By request, an anecdote from Avri and Landon that addresses just that; I hope it provides the strength needed to hold out for it ALL... There was ONE time, when I could no longer deny the TFC; and I knew for sure it was real...I lived out of state for a while and had been seeing someone else.  Landon and I hadn't seen each other for a time, and had been living separate lives.  I had been coming and going, but ours paths just never seemed to cross.  One day, my family attended this baby shower.  I chose not to, as I didn't know the intended at all....

"Breeze"

  It's amazing how intoxicating Peace can be.  When I say that absolutely Nothing  was happening in my World-and I couldn't be happier.  My friends were currently tired of me dishing out the exact same advice, "be honest about how you feel" at the moment.  Eh, that's literally the root of every  single problem ya'll are currently facing.   My family had even gotten hip to the fact that I was no longer simply saying 'yes' to any and all requests, so they really didn't have shit to say to me😂.  People have a tendency to keep their distance-and their business to themselves if you're not vested in what they have going on; more so if you aren't miserable and willing to commiserate...I'm MORE than OK with that.  As the Summer crept on, I found it harder to sleep straight through the night.  This wasn't anything new, I sometimes experience a little seasonal insomnia from time to time.  It had just begun to rain as I opened my eyes....

RNS

  It was just before dawn, and I was wide awake...Landon's words about learning one another played in my head like a verse on repeat; I couldn't stop thinking about them.  He was right; on sooo  many levels.  We had spent so much time building and maintaining our own individual identities, I didn't realize we had spent hardly any  on our collective one.  Landon and I had no idea how to be in an actual relationship with the adult versions of ourselves.  I mean, technically, we had One Summer-as children-that's it.  He and I had been separated for a long time; one that saw us transition from kids to adults.  When we came back together, we only focused on the things that remained the same; giving little to no regard for all the things that had changed.  In all actuality, neither one of us had any idea of what the adult versions of us were even really like... Come to think of it, I couldn't remember the last time we had spent an entire day t...
