I once tried to be the giving lover. The one who absorbs it all, the joy and the anger, but only radiates strength. The one who sees him for his core and not his embellishments. I saw him so much, it left him feeling exposed to the point of insecurity. -R.AD ✨

Sometimes it takes a trip. Away from the usual. Far from the familiar. Sometimes it takes new faces. New conversations that light up new thoughts. A break from the daily comforts. Sometimes it takes new words. You learn them as you go. If I’ve learned anything it’s that sometimes stepping out— is really the best way to step in. -R.AD

Before him, I thought I found it in big gestures, false promises, and hidden feelings. But now I question having ever found it before him. Now I know. Back then, I thought. It all comes in deep brown eyes, a tattooed smile, and unstoppable wit. /here is where I found it/✨

𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴. We don’t care for public romantic gestures; we really just want the person who can prove they know us to the core. We don’t care for social media promotion of a relationship; we just want the enjoyment of spending time together without worrying about documenting it every minute. We don’t care for the hyperactive social life you’re trying to achieve; we just want a good conversation. 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴. Because if you are faking your interest in us, we can tell. If you’re only with us for fun, we’ve already moved on. If you believe you’ve managed to fool us, we’ve outsmarted you and you don’t even know it yet. And If you don’t feel that you’re right for us, we already know you’re not. 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳. We’ve been through enough to know when to give up and when there’s potential. We know what strong connections are made of and we can promise to never trick you into believing we’re serious about you if we’re not. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿. -R.AD

I’ve seen girls who wake up with a smile and open their window first thing in the morning like they’re living in a movie then make coffee like they’re making art. Girls who get ready for work like every day is their first day and the ones who give it all they have regardless of their paycheck. There are girls who sing along to all their favorite songs without worrying too much about what they sound like. The ones who take their time putting on their make-up because they’re secretly appreciating what makes them uniquely them. I’ve learned from girls who know that someone else’s beauty is not a lack of theirs and someone else’s success is not a setback of theirs. Girls who have a strong sense of who they are and those who have unshakeable confidence in their capabilities. But also, I’ve seen girls who endure life’s toughest complications and battle through like there’s no other way. The girls who make storms look like drizzles. Ones who find the time to thank themselves for their hard work even when they can’t see results. I’ve learned from the girls who know when to hold on and when to release. The ones who know that walking away takes as much courage as staying. Most of all, from the girls who pick themselves up in silence. The ones who are mindful that their actions are never out of spite. To the ones whose actions are enveloped in love even when love hasn’t been on their side. We have no time for ordinary. -R.AD ✨

All that is colorful and bright is romanticized. Waves, skies and deep oceans. But my romance lies in a pair of eyes that resemble my favorite thing to wake up to. A dark brown cup of coffee. It’s calm exterior and boiling interior. Just like that. One look and I know I’m overpowered. -R.AD
