Love Across Time Zones
I have had two loves in my life. First, there’s Logan Andrews. I have known Logan Andrews for most of my life and ever since I could remember he was a ray of sunshine. He is a very popular guy, but not in a cocky way. When you are around him you feel like you are in some sort of “La La Land”, which I like to call it at least. He always makes me feel like a never-ending summer, where the skies are blue, the ocean is warm, and everything moves at a pace that lets you breathe and take it all in. With him, I have it all. Each day I can do whatever I want, yet there is still time to sit back and relax. He is golden, he is free, and he is full of promise. Logan Andrews has the kind of love that just feels like home to me.
But, then I met Nathan Young. Everyone knows Nathan Young. He was this new guy who appeared into my life at a time when I was young, curious, and ambitious. He was intoxicating and impossible to ignore. He was also sharp-edged, ruthless, and unpredictable. With him, you never knew which version you would get. But the rush of something new is what kept me craving more. With him, everything was urgent and every moment felt like a high that I could not hold onto no matter how hard I tried. But, let me tell you, the highs came with the lows. There were cold and lonely nights that would creep in and settle once all the fun faded. With Nathan Young, I was alive, but I was never relaxed.
After loving them both, I realized that one was love and one was infatuation. Logan Andrews gave (and continues to give) me constant warmth and endless opportunities. Nathan Young gave me an addictive thrill that made me feel on top of the world, but at times could swallow me whole. While I probably will forever be infatuated with Nathan Young, I knew deep down that my heart belonged to Logan Andrews. I know that I want it all, and Logan Andrews gives me that. He gives me a place where the sun always kisses back, where mountains and oceans coexist, and where dreams are not a race but a journey. In the end, I know there are some great loves that can light up a skyline, but only a few can make you feel like you are living in a “La La Land”.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a wholesome post. I think you did a fantastic job of painting the essence of what each guy was to you. I like the reflectiveness of the post, and it makes me think of all the past relationships you have that at the moment feel like you were in the most epic love story, but when you look at back at it objectively you can't help but just laugh.
This was very lovely, this piece reminds me that not everybody is meant to stay in our lives no matter how they make you feel, but I truly believe you meet them for a reason; like in a way, they're in your life to teach you something new about you or you are there to teach something to them. I also believe the curiosity and potential is what hurts the most and makes you crave them which ties perfectly in your piece.
ReplyDeleteThis was very well crafted. I love your style of writing. It was very poetic.
ReplyDeleteThis was really great to read and so captivating. I really liked the way you described each of the guys and your love for them really shone through
ReplyDeleteThis was such a beautifully written reflection on love, infatuation, and the different ways people can shape our lives. The way you described love as something that can either be a constant source of light or a fleeting, intoxicating thrill really resonated. You captured the essence of longing, excitement, and self-discovery so well.
