Rebound Love



One of the quietest forms of self-betrayal
is offering your whole heart
to someone still standing in the ruins of another.


You will stretch yourself thin—
trying to be softer, fuller, brighter—
but no matter how deeply you pour,
you’ll feel the absence you cannot fill.


Because you are not the memory
their hands are still reaching for in the dark.


You are not the name their heart whispers
when it forgets you’re there.


And that is not a failure of your worth—
it is the echo of something unfinished 

within them.


Trust this:
what is meant for you will not be haunted
by what came before you.


It won’t compare you to memories
or measure you against yesterday’s love.


The love that finds you fully
will arrive with open hands, 

not empty ones—
ready, not recovering.


So don’t gather the broken pieces
someone else left behind
and call it something whole.


You are not here to be a bridge,
a distraction,
or a place to rest while they heal.


You are a destination.

Don’t accept half-hearted presence
or borrowed affection.


And never—
not even for a moment—
allow yourself to become
someone’s consolation prize.


Because the love written for you
will not come in fragments or hesitation—
it will choose you in full light, 

without confusion, without retreat.


It will not need convincing,
will not arrive carrying 

someone else’s shadow,
will not ask you to compete 

with past scars you didn’t create.


It will recognize you—immediately, deeply—
like something sacred it almost lost.


And when it comes,
you won’t feel the need to prove your worth…


you’ll feel the peace of finally being met.


So walk away from 

anything that feels like almost.


Close the door without apology.


Because you were never created
to be someone’s second chance

 at healing—
you were created to be 

someone’s first choice at love.

Broken Covenant

Once upon a time— I wanted to believe something was real so desperately that I silenced the Spirit within me just to keep the illusion alive. I saw every red flag— not as warnings, but as tests of how much  I was willing to endure to feel chosen. I asked no questions because truth was already whispering, and I feared what obedience would cost me. So I made a covenant with denial— calling lies “grace,” and confusion “patience,” because the truth felt too vast, too holy, too disruptive to the future I had built in my mind. I clung to potential like it was promise, and mistook absence for peace. Yet the weight of it— this thing I called love— crushed my spirit daily. Still, desperation dressed itself as loyalty and convinced me to stay. And it didn’t get better. It decayed. Quietly at first… then unmistakably. Each time God unveiled truth, I chose the comfort of shadows over the calling of light. I pleaded. I prayed. I begged— not for revelation, but for permission to remain where I w...

From Chaos to Calm

After a while… the need to be heard at full volume begins to dissolve. The rooftops grow silent. The flames you once fed with trembling hands no longer feel like power— only exhaustion. What you burned never built a home. And somewhere along the way, you realize— not every echo returns, not every seed takes root, not every mountain was yours to climb. The grace you poured out like water in a desert, the love you offered with open, unguarded hands— it did not come back the way you imagined. And still… you are here. So instead of fighting what refuses to bend, you loosen your grip. Not in defeat— but in awakening. You release the need to be answered, to be chosen, to be understood by those who never learned your language. Your hands, once reaching outward, begin to rise— not in desperation, but in devotion. Upward. Open. Steady. God… I see You now in the quiet I once avoided. I hear You not in the thunder— but in the space where my striving used to live. And I am ready. Something within ...

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)

What unsettles me most about some people is not the harm they cause— but the silence that follows it. No conviction. No trembling. No evidence that a soul was ever stirred. As if something sacred once lived there… and quietly left. What remains is form without fire. A body that breathes, but does not  feel . A Walking corpse. Spiritually vacant,  yet socially skilled— fluent in imitation, but foreign to truth. They move through people like weather— touching everything, anchoring nowhere. I once mistook that emptiness for mystery. Confused detachment with depth. Thought restraint was discipline, when it was really disconnection. But there was  no rootedness in him— only appetite. An endless hunger dressed as desire. A man grazing on bodies, scrolling through souls like they were disposable moments. Not searching. Not building. Just consuming— to quiet something unnamed within him. Unhealed wounds don’t stay still. They wander. From bed to bed, from face to face, from high ...
