Admit that you’re already in love; that it may actually be the healthiest relationship of your life.
Confess to waking up and going to sleep with it in your thoughts.
Acknowledge that you’re lost without it and miss it desperately when it tortures you with its absence.
That you often carry on this relationship in secret.
An artist is never really single.
We drop everything when it calls.
We start each day wondering how to increase the connection.
We create rituals designed to entice, and adjust our approach when resistance is met.
Swinging from dominant to submissive willingly in its service.
Our passion makes us high.
Our feelings wind like vines through our work.
We wrap ourselves around our words and immerse ourselves in imagery.
What we are rewarded with defies explanation, but does make a day on the calendar seem adorable, if not silly, in contrast.
If yours is a new relationship, then you’re probably feeling pretty vulnerable right now.
That’s normal and will never end.
You must be ready to be put in your place. A lot.
Each day will stretch you into new versions of yourself; some you will hate immensely.
Your ideas will often be rejected, but this is where trust comes in. You have to believe that your partner won’t abandon you.
Get ready to feel abandoned at times.
But also prepare to feel that special kind of alive reserved for those who risk; to stand at the edge of yourself and look down.
To gasp.
You will get a hint at the ‘why’ of it all.
As long as your ‘how’ is answered daily.
This is a love worth working for.
And you are who it chooses to work with.
Be honest.
Never take it for granted.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
