They told me my mind was “too much”…

but with you, it doesn’t feel dark.

It feels deep.

What I find there isn’t something dirty,

but something almost sacred—

a longing that rises,

a desire that transforms,

a connection that feels higher than words.

When I think of you,

I don’t think in terms of what is forbidden.

I think in terms of something divine.

Something that draws me in without force,

something that feels like meaning itself.

There is something about your presence—

or even the thought of you—

that turns the ordinary into something meaningful,

and desire into something almost spiritual.

It isn’t emptiness that I feel,

it’s depth.

It’s the need to feel fully,

to exist without holding back,

to let something real awaken within me.

And if that makes me “too much,”

then I will accept that fully.

Because some connections aren’t meant to be understood—

only felt.

And with you…

I don’t want anything less than that.

🎼🦋

4/5 Edited to

... Read moreIn my experience, feeling deeply and intensely can often be misunderstood or labeled as "too much," as if depth of emotion and thought were something to be tamed or hidden. However, I've discovered that when you connect with someone who resonates with that same intensity, those feelings shift from being overwhelming to something sacred and enriching. It's fascinating how a true connection can transform ordinary moments into profound experiences. What initially felt like turmoil or chaos inside becomes a space for awakening and growth—a desire that doesn’t bind but liberates. This kind of spiritual connection, where desire intertwines with meaning, reminds me that not all feelings need to be explained logically; some are meant to be felt deeply and accepted fully. Moreover, embracing this deep longing and allowing it to surface without restraint fosters authenticity. It encourages us to exist without holding back, to welcome the complexity of our minds and hearts. Rather than fearing being "too much," we can see that as a gift—a sign of living fully and connecting with others on a higher plane. In practical terms, acknowledging this depth has helped me cultivate healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self. It taught me that true connection is about resonance, not just clear understanding. Sometimes, the greatest bonds transcend words and logic—they exist in feelings that awaken the soul. So if you find yourself being told that you’re "too much," remember that with the right person, that too much is the very thing that makes your connection meaningful and divine.

I got my braces put on Tuesday morning! 1. Your mouth is EXTREMELY wet sometimes. I catch myself drooling or with my mouth open randomly. They did not tell me this 😀 2. Over the counter medicine is a LIFE SAVER!!! I use extra strength tylenol ( 500mg per pill ) and it works wonders!!!
