Flash Forward: Unchained Melody




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...

Oooo I Think He Like Me...Maybe Not

I couldn't wait to get home.  I couldn't even focus on Jerry.  I sat in my living room staring at the lamp side table where the phone sat.  WTF was Marcelis doing?!  Why hadn't my phone rang yet?  Not that I wasn't always anticipating our daily call, but something happened today as I stood at the double doors waiting on my friend to depart.  Someone called his name.  Not Recognizing the voice, and me being naturally nosey(and petty, might I add!), I repositioned, discretely, and put a face to the voice.  I was right on both counts: A. I didn't know him B. His voice sounded like he was fine! Yup.  An actual stranger in this endless sea of familiar faces.  The fact that he wasn't dusty and was easy on the eyes both paled in comparison to the way I FELT when I heard his voice.  It immediately felt like HOME.  I HAD to know who this was.  It was the first time I felt someone from the inside out. After what seemed like a...

"Liminal"

  "A liminal is a space between spaces. A liminal space is a boundary between two points in time, space, or both. It’s the middle ground between two grounds, the mid-structure between two structures." There are times in life when All we can do for those we care about is tell them the truth...As of late, I had been fiercely protective of my Peace-leaving little to no room for bullshit...On my last day off, I made a conscious effort to stay tucked away steering clear of any interference.  Because the Universe has jokes, it sent a very unlikely person to seek me out.  Since that encounter on my porch with Jhessi , the situation had not improved...on the contrary-it had become increasingly trifling!  We had several talks over the past two weeks, but it seemed like every time Jhessi thought  she was about to stand on business, my cousin would knock her back off her square...and she was right back where she started.  One night after a full day of website work, w...

"Like a Moth to the Flame, Burned by the Fire...My Love is Blind, Can't you See My Desire?  That's the Way Love Goes...                                                 ~Janet Jackson It was the beginning of  Winter, and the bitterness of the cold came out Swinging... If it wasn't work, or necessary to my survival, it could wait!   The one place that Winter never seemed to come, was Landon's bed.  No matter what the temperature was outside, as far as I knew, it was the coziest-and safest place on Earth.  When I opened my eyes, I was still nestled under Landon's arm; laying on his chest.  From the rhythm of his breath, I could tell he was already awake...keeping as still as possible not to disturb me.  Gently wiggling out of one of my sock, I put my cool, bare toes on his leg to indicate that I was ready to move.  "Hey Lightskin, G...
