Let me kiss your scars.
I know it won't fix or erase the pain that caused them, but maybe, if only for a moment, it will make you forget.
Maybe, if only occasionally, you will see those scars and remember how much you are loved rather than the hatred and fear that put them there.
Let me kiss your scars.
Let me kiss your stretch marks.
Let me kiss all the things you hate most about yourself.
Let me make you feel as beautiful and precious as you are in my eyes.
I know I can't erase how the world has hurt you, but maybe, if only for a moment, it won't hurt quite as much.
Please kiss my scars.
My skin is a mosaic of scar tissue, all from my own choices, many from mistakes.
Please kiss my scars.
It won't erase the pain that put them there, but maybe, if only for a moment, looking at them won't hurt quite so much.
Please kiss my scars.
Make me feel as beautiful as you say I am.
Found in the vastness of Instagram... Valentine's Day is about it...
Every day is about it...
I write about it...
It's about how it should be and how it is.
I'm a hopeless romantic, sorry 🥲
🩷 Have a wonderful holiday 🩷
My inspiration 🖤 Part 8 ✨
How to combat lust. This is a big one for both men and women
WE MUST STAY FOCUSED, BROTHERS. WE MUST STAY FOCUSED
This is coming from a formerly bi person (19 M at the moment I’m typing this)
How to combat lust: Triggers
“Trace it, face it, erase it, replace it.”
The fact that you’re trying is good. After all, “For the righteous man falls seven times and rises again.” (Prov 24:16)
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
Make sure to cleanse your mind. Don’t think about certain things, don’t check out girls (Or check out guys, if you’re a girl). Keep your eyes on their faces. Even then, just straight up don’t look at them if it’s possible.
Watch out for the music you listen to (dirty words. That is a trigger. Trust me. I know.)
Try some ACTUALLY GOOD Christian music (see below)
Check these out for
Metal: some skillet, theocracy, divinefire, golden resurrection, REFORMED
Rock: dcTalk, red, skillet, ashes remain, old Tobymac, Kevin max (from dcTalk), thousand foot krutch, jars of clay, switchfoot
Also, watch out for The shows, memes, etc. you watch. Those are triggers as well. (Dirty jokes and whatnot)
Get the correct amount of sleep. Your hormones will be thrown off.
Don’t look at men or women in a certain way.
In the words of Stan Lee, “that man sitting next to you, that’s your brother. That woman sitting over there-that’s your sister.”
Besides, some of those people are taken. How would you like it if someone gave your boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife a certain look?
Also, the people you see in those videos are people who are being trafficked and r@ped. It’s NOT what you think it is. Imagine if that happened to your girlfriend, wife, sister, friend, mother, grandmother, aunt, etc. them begging for their life inside while ACTING as if it’s okay? They’re called “ACTORS” for a reason.
My friend, don’t do this. These men and women are just trying to get by. They don’t need anyone looking at them in a certain way. They just want to be loved, Not lusted after. Not looked at and used like a s3x toy and put away when not needed. They might be low on money, they could have been traumatized, they could be su!cidal, they could be selling their bodies unwillingly so they can get cash. Please. You don’t know what theyre going through.
protect and look after everyone as if they were your children. Care for them as you would your own spouse or closest/only friend. Love and look at them as if you had one hour left to be with them.
Ayo, i don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested. I also found ways to combat lust, if anyone is interested. (I’m talking archaeological evidence, miracles caught live, arguments against evolution, divine revelation, science, cosmology, fulfilled prophecy, evidence for the Bible outside of the Bible, God’s work in people’s lives, etc.)
The Contradiction of Open Relationships and Polygamy
Couples have been where you’re at, got older and now they are divorced. Now they are warning others to not do open relationships. Learn from them!
When someone wants an open relationship, He or she was or is probably cheating on you emotionally or physically, and now just wants permission to continue.
Look, please stop this. Spare yourself some STD’s along with physical and emotional cheating. You do know your either or both partners will just regard you as “free food, free shelter, and a free therapist.”
Open relationships is literally cheating but yo don’t confront the cheater. And it’s EMOTIONAL CHEATING!! YOURE RUINING OTHER PEOPLE’S RELATIONSHIPS ALONG WITH YOURS!
You say you want to spend time WITH the one person, yet you spend time WITH OTHER PEOPLE!
take marriage for example: I mean, did you notice how it was only you two making vows to one another, and not three or more people there?
as for those who encourage sleeping with others while in a relationship: You don’t need validation from other people. these people don’t care about you. They don’t care about your personality, what you like or dislike. What your favorite cereal and superheroes are. What your favorite movie genres and hobbies are. What your favorite music genres are. They just want to use you—-use your body as a pawn, a mere object, a mere sack of meat For their own gain. They don’t care for your well being.
Think about think about it, you’re pouring your heart out to your romantic partner yet your partner is thinking about someone else entirely as you’re doing so.
look, I love everybody as Christ tells us to, but you woke people are crazy at times
Dating and Marriage Advice! ✝️❤️☦️
get ready, simps!
Just some dating, love, and life advice below (hear me out)
I’m gonna tell you what I tell the others. Hear me out.
ultimately, (I don’t mean to force anything on you,) but ask God to send the one for you. Same with the right and wrong friends. Ask God to Add the right ones and remove the wrong ones. Just pray, and wait. keep God first, as Billy Graham said.
Also, I have to inform you that you CANT divorce UNLESS you get cheated on, and you CANT get remarried after divorcing someone unless your divorced spouse dies. So make it count the first time. (Matt 5:28-32, Rom 7:1-3)
Look around you. People did things their way and now people commend cheating (emotionally and physically), open relationships, and open marriages (both of which promote even more emotional cheating).
The real one that God has for you won’t cheat on you emotionally or physically and won’t want open relationships and open marriages.
It’ll be magical—-your wife/husband will only want you and no one else. He/she will only want to be with you and know you while serving God with you. How cool is that?
please. Enjoy your wife/ husband for yourself. And your wife/husband should enjoy only you. This will lead to emotional cheating if this is not followed. I mean, it’s already physical and emotional cheating.
After all, “The Blessing of the Lord brings wealth. He adds no painful toil to it.” -Prov 10:22
And “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” - prov 18:22
And “Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.” -Prov 19:14
these men and women are your brothers and sisters.
“That man sitting next to you, that’s your brother. That woman over there, that’s your sister.” -Stan Lee
Treat them as such. Besides, some of these people are taken. How would you like it if someone gave your girlfriend/wife or husband/boyfriend a certain look?
My friend, don’t do this. These men and women are just trying to get by. They don’t need anyone looking at them in a certain way. They just want to be loved, Not lusted after.

Cool story—many of these women are being tr@fficked and r@ped in YOU KNOW WHAT. these pictures aren’t consensual. Imagine if this happened to your wife, girlfriend, sister, mother, cousin, friend, grandmother, aunt, etc. them begging for their life while doing terrible nasty things.

Love and affection
desperation
A word we borrowed from Latin.
de (without) + sperare (to hope)
forming a word that I'm getting more familiar
with each passing day.
Desperation: to lose hope.
Losing you would be to lose hope,
Because that is what you brought into my life.
That is what you are.
A hope.
A hope that, in your eyes, I'm worthy of love.
A hope that loving someone could feel so easy.
A hope that loving you is a feeling of warm yellow light.
My days pass without being next to you
And each day, that warm yellow light dims a little.
The flowers that slowly bloom in my lungs
when your hands touch me
slowly start to wither without their light.
I feel my heart gradually freeze
into a block of ice
that doesn't melt without your warmth.
Desperation
starts to creep into me with every breath I take.
So my dearest,
I urge you to come,
to hold me until the winter in my heart thaws,
touch me and bring back the spring.
Okay, but season 1 episode 09 of Rizzoli & Isles?! The way Jane soothingly touches Maura's arm and how Maura reacts with this very specific look, this precious combination of surprise and wonder and tenderness for Jane?! The way they sit at home and Jane reassures Maura she doesn't have one single evil bone in her body and how they hold hands so intimately?! And then the lighter scene at the very end, when they join some plumbing business with Jane's father and brother behind the bar, how Maura reaches out her hand to touch Jane,and how Jane reciprocates that gesture and it just looks so very domestic and sweet and natural?! I am going FERAL I ship them so hard it blocks the Suez canal

I'd like to touch you
as I touch your name.
But I'm afraid of the moment
when I'll see your eyebrows and lips.
There are so many lines
that kill tenderness
and so many dim lights
that don't whisper of love.
I'd like to know you by touch,
I'd like you to come at night,
lean over me sleeping
and leave again like the moon.
I'd stop staring
at the motionless window
and fall asleep
cuddled in the scent of you.

We are thirsty for tenderness, in a world where there is too much of everything, too much noise, falsehood, arrogance, greed, debauchery. We are so thirsty for tenderness and delicacy that are like a caress of our soul. We need these small, caring gestures that make us feel warmth and selfless love inside our hearts...
