"It was easier for him to avoid dealing with the pain or his feelings for me. Instead of making an effort to mend our relationship—which was never actually bad to begin with—he chose to date other people. I didn’t deserve what he put me through, but I’m not holding it against him. I’ve been celibate, holding on to the hope that he would return. Now that hope is fading, and the idea of remaining celibate is fading with it." — Melissa Allegories 🪷🌸

Why Society Hates Artists (And Always Has)

Things that make you go, hmm... 🤔

“Artists are the originators of the ideas of tomorrow. They change minds. They challenge power. They expose corruption. These are ideas which dream up a reality that doesn’t exist right now and may be implemented years later. These are the ideas that matter.”

“In democratic societies, they don’t ban artists. They just make sure they can’t survive.” — Fuzz Culture, Arsh Sharma #Time2Bloom 🌸⏱️🌼🌿🍃

P.S.: The Gatekeepers: the patron, corporate, or label decides who gets heard, which art gets exposure, and which book gets published.

I'm fed up with drama.

I just want to live a life WORTHWHILE. 🌻

The Mind-Pop I received was: Penelope

But I just don’t care anymore! Apparently, it’s not the story or ending he wanted. The story has changed, and the endurance and battle are now one-sided.

Love is not just an emotion, Love is everywhere, If you wait and do nothing, It will just be wasted.

Magnolia's deep admiration for Alt-key:

"He had a comforting voice and demeanor, with complex and convincing emotions, and the most brilliant mind I have ever experienced. What did you expect?"

The response "Of course, I trust you." would have been desirable. Heh. Dreamers dream...🌷🪻🪷🌻🌹🌸

I'm so worn out from hopping from job-to-job, since the summer of 2021. This constant sense of urgency is incredibly frustrating and stressful. 🤦🏽‍♀️🌿

Heh. I knew what I wanted, but my spidey senses told me it wasn't my decision to make. 🕸️

It's about neglecting my personal desires in service to others and a higher calling. That sucks too, but I can't help it. 🌻

Meet me where the two worlds collide: emotions and reason.

Wisdom, write to us- guide us; may my dreams drive us? ✍🏽

Attachment is the root of suffering, but positive attachment/bonding is so necessary! And self-worth...

How we deal with pain, can damage our lives or make us wise. Just take one bite. As long as we understand the difference between what’s wrong and what’s right for us, it should be alright.

How much of love is what people call ‘Free Will’ or a conscious choice, if any?

...our emotions will always change our perceptions. - Melissa Allegories 🪷🌸

Reminiscing next to a magnolia tree, delicate flowers floated down onto me.

Bygone, fading, static emotions froze in a cloud of mist.

I couldn’t hear the sweetness of your whispers, my dear Mother. - Melissa Allegories 🪷🌸

Come on. I gotta appease my inner rebel just a bit. ♥️🌹
