The Things She Carried

nymph, brown, orange, black, white, yellow


Oh wow; the Universe, and it's divine timing...absolutely HILARIOUS; almost to the point of tears!  Here I was, in yet another precarious situation.  Why can't I just ENJOY this moment?!  Oh well, come on TRUTH, Destroyer of Worlds; lets get this over with!  I sat for another minute or two; admiring the ring, and appreciating how far we had come.  All I ever really wanted to know was exactly where we stand...that was something that was never definitive; making it almost impossible to know how to move.  Now, here it was; REAL and in the physical, he and I; there was no other way to interpret what it meant...

One thing the past does is teach us how to move forward, preventing me from making the same mistakes twice.  Even though I wanted to stay in the moment for just a little longer, as I glanced over at Landon, I could see slight distress setting in as he sat beside me awaiting my response.  I took a deep breath, turned to face him, and just let it come out; very similar to regurgitation!  "Tre has still been attempting to reach me; he wants to meet up before we leave for school; which is also in Columbus, as well..."  I stopped just as abruptly as I began, closed my eyes, and braced from impact.  I listened intently for the shift in his energy...a minute or so later, I un-clenched my existence, and peaked through my cracked eyelids over at Landon's face.  He was looking over at me, looking slightly amused.  I opened my eyes completely.  He smiled at me and simply said, "Ok".  Just like that, it was over.  It was quick; I didn't know if I should be relieved, or worried.  My face must have said so, because Landon immediately began to explain his reaction.  "I meant what I said before, I just want you to tell me; I'm really not upset."  Men meaning EXACTLY what they say; this is definitely going to take some getting used to...

After we left the city, we decided to go down to the waterfront for a little while.  It was a beautiful summer night, and this would probably be one of our last opportunities to come to our favorite place before leaving for school.  Come to think of it, how much would we REALLY com back to visit after we leave?!  Everything was changing and moving FORWARD.  I love being here with him.  The rest of the world melts away, and its just us; in the purest forms of ourselves.  We were able to enjoy being with one another without interference; able to appreciate it all, even if it was nothing.  Our conversations here seemed to hold so much powers, much more special than anywhere else.  After the past few weeks, I just wanted to be connected to him; for us to just crawl back inside of each other and STAY there.  It has always been about just us two.  Our relationship was completely contained within Richmond, and the few opportunities we found to escape.  Now, we were about to enter an entirely new space and set of circumstances.  I wasn't nervous, I was actually excited...

Coming to the waterfront meant I would get the opportunity to feel Landon out and see what he thought about it all.  This was unfamiliar territory for him too, but in a different way.  If we were alone, and in our place of peace, We could speak openly, honestly, and without reservation.  That's the magic the waterfront held for us.  "Do you know one of the reasons why I love us and am so fascinated by what we have?" Landon suddenly said.  "Tell me."  "I get to be regular and enjoy ordinary things.  Any and everything we do together is special.  I never really had time before to do much of anything, let alone sit somewhere in deep conversation.  Yet, sitting here, and talking to you right now, I can't imagine anyplace else I would rather be."  "Likewise." I said.  I smiled to myself.  He was doing our Wonder Twin thing where he read my mind and said it out loud before I had a chance to...

We really didn't do much talking for the rest of the time; just exchanging a few words here and there.  We mostly sat silently, with my hand in his, truly happy to be near one another.  We don't always need words.  Sometimes the energy of what remains unsaid is far more powerful.  I sat, staring down at our two intertwined hands; wondering if there would ever be words strong enough to articulate the entirety of what I feel for him; its soo much more than love...

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....

Great Expectations

              I couldn't believe it; it was FINALLY here!!  This trip had been at the forefront of all my thoughts for the past few weeks-now that it was actually time to leave it all felt surreal.  It honestly felt a little strange to be this excited about going on a trip I had originally planned and discussed so many times before with Landon.  In all actuality, I never thought I would get the chance to go.  I just figured the Universe would open up and swallow me, and I would never make it!  The strangest part of all though, was that it didn't even bother me, which caused me to feel slightly uneasy, just for a few moments; old habits die hard.  For once, I felt like I was doing something for ME.  My greatest desire for the whole thing was to find out what parts of Avri still remained; to remember who the fuck I was.  I had felt so lost and disconnected lately- an Avri identity crisis, if you will... See, that's...

Melanie and Drew

     Sitting on Mel's balcony, we watched the moon rise over the city.  By 9pm, the moon would be full and high on the opposite side of the sky.  We had been sitting in silent reverence at the moon's emergence.  After saging, bubble tea, and some much-needed general foolishness, Mel was finally in better spirits.   My attention was turned from above to Mel seated peacefully beside me, but she was looking straight at me, as if in anticipation of saying SOMETHING.  "What?" I asked incredulously.  "Oh nothing; I was just wondering how long I was going to have to wait before you open that text from Adonis you got like 20 minutes ago!"  I should have known the question was coming; I had managed to keep her occupied thus far by focusing on her and Drew.  I let out a deep sigh.  "Fuck it, I guess now is as good a time as any..."  I told her about today's earlier encounter with him, and she beamed with pride; just as if she w...
