I have tasted deep desire on your trembling lips.
I have felt the urgency of your need.
What is it like on your side of the kiss?
Explain it to me.
Say it out loud.
Over and over.
Do you honor your deepest desires?
Do you embrace who you really are?
Do you allow yourself to fully love?
Do you allow yourself to fully live?
Will you accept this magical gift from you to you?
That’s the first step.
The other steps are just details.

“When we put someone on a pedestal, we are not doing that at all, but, rather, we are digging a pit for ourselves. In other words, they don’t move from the level playing field of social relationship, but we end up beneath it, by virtue of our own misguided hand. We diminish ourselves by idealizing another, and they are diminished because we see them as something that they are not.”
– Michael J. Formica
“Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.”
– A.A. Milne
