I don’t want to fall in love
I want to RISE in love
I RISE with the early morning sparkling ray of light that tickles me to invite my first conscious breath
I RISE with self-worth and self-growth
With consistency and continuation
I RISE with the love of a family that supports me in every way
I RISE with the love of a kind friend who never had a blurred vision towards my reality and intentions, with all the layers I grew or shed over the years
I RISE with the love for a career that was a struggle in the beginning and will keep offering me moments of challenge to push me higher and higher
I RISE in love with strangers who are not afraid to show a glimpse of kindness, who would out of nowhere, break the rule, step into humanity and communicate
I RISE in love with a man who is on a journey of self-growth and who sees in failure new directions and new ways to rise; who sees in me an opportunity to rise higher combined, and if one must fall it will be a fall into a new opportunity to rise
I did RISE through love so many times-
The love I gave myself
When I found comfort in the most uncomfortable positions
When I did not go for second best
When I didn’t settle for a life that does not suit my vision
When I did not compromise my feelings just to please a community that has a one way method for every situation
When I left a job that limited my creativity
When I dodged a man who wanted to change my essence to suit his fake inherited values
When I left friendships that did not nourish or respect my heart and mind
I want to keep RISING up and through all these forms of love
As falling in love is not my cup of tea.
