But as per my post today Actually, when I started listening I don't know if I told you this I started listening (I think I did) To dialogues with the future self And, after listening to Going mad And recreating yourself And what I'm realizing Is, like What I'm learning in each of these relationships Whether I know why they work or not What I'm learning Is to be more honest And to not be concerned With that You know It's like, it's one thing To, you know, tell someone Something important to you And then they make a mockery of it, right Um, not that it's a secret or anything But, like, to not be received in that way Um, but, instead I'm just like Oh, you know I, I want everyone to know How I feel about them When I die And If that just means I say it while it's there Then, I'm more comfortable with that Than ever And it feels more light than ever And more compassionate than ever But also, like, accessible Not from a suffering place And Maybe not even from a neutral place But from a kind of positive place Where I'm like, yea I am this way And, you gon' get this love Motherfuckers
