I was born into captivity, like the animals at a pet store, or a zoo, shackled and enslaved by titles and roles, expectations and rules - these laws only serve to suffocate, the free spirit is a danger among those who wish to control and play it safe, we can make a million excuses as to why it's truly best this way or how this captivity has actually "saved us" somehow - we have been herded and kept in fear and we are the fools to ever believe that this is ok, that those born into a prison of the soul do not know better or do not long for more, do you really believe a bird in a cage will not leave given the chance to live freely - to reach outward into the world and explore what we are truly capable of when we are not bound by own shackles - to love is to appreciate not to possess - nothing ever belongs to us, it's tragic really, we live in a prison of our own fears - see I was born into captivity but I will die a free soul. ~Will "Story" Rivera
She was taking hold of her destiny, not trying to control but create, embracing the elements and making the most of her life, the moments, her choices were all her own, she was fearless, she was captivating but no longer captive, a spirit of light, of honesty, an essence of love, she was genuine in all ways, understanding, mysterious, she observed the world through deep soul eyes, she saw nothing but beauty and I vowed to love her in all ways, to always hold her as a loving parent would their child, protect her, support her, show her through my actions she had worth, she was priceless, unique and irreplaceable, I was going to make sure my love was unconditional, that she always knew how amazing she was- I made a promise to her I would never ever give up on her again. #selflove ~Will "Story" Rivera
She is that girl that has few best friends, it takes a lot for her to allow you to get close, she only tells you what she wants you to know, mysterious like the moon, she is that nerd and dork, she laughs at her own jokes and has that dry humor very few can pick up on, she is silly and childlike, very easy to be around, she doesn't care what anyone thinks or says, she kinda does her own thing, in her own way, no need for explanations, she is alone but not lonely, she is wild and feral, she loves hard, the kinda girl who will give you all the trust in the world until you give her a reason not to, the type of person who will be by your side and never leave, never give up, she believes in loyalty and honesty, she dreams on large scales and when she wins everyone wins, she is fragile yet indestructible, she carries these hardcore ancient values that few understand, she is quite amazing actually just often times misunderstood and still she would stand by your side for eternity without even flinching, without hesitation, she may not be there everyday but she is there when it counts, she has this love of life about her, this appreciation that's inspiring, so faithful and deep - she is so rare and beautiful - yeah she's that girl. ~Will "Story" Rivera As we grow spiritually we come to see through our experiences we don't always get to see or speak with those who we were once close too. I have come to learn that growing apart doesn't have to be painful, I've learned that if my love was true and unbinding, then that meant that my support should always be there for that person, not just when we were close but even during the times that they chose a different road to travel down. Friendship is not about how much you hang out or how often you speak, friendship is us being there for someone else when we can, within our means, with no explanations needed - its an absolute knowing of a bond that's created, that needs no proof that it exists - it's a gift not a contract. We are always evolving, it's inevitable, chances are as we grow spiritually we will see less and less of the individuals we were once close with, not because anyone is being mean, not because the love and respect is any less - but merely because we no longer share those common interests anymore, we begin to attract the type of energy that best fits the path we are on, see the universe is always sending us what we need to push us forward, to encourage our inner growth, so if someone isn't in your life the way they used to be, don't take it to the heart, it's not because they don't love and care for you, it's because you both are on a different journey now, so wish them well and give them love, be brave moving forward, have faith that new friendships await and new adventures and interests are coming, always remember the love we gave away is never ever wasted. Things I've learned about friendship:
See friendship is about what we give to others - not what they do for us. We strive to be the greatest friend we can be for ourselves not them, it's to satisfy our own souls light not theirs, no attachments or expectations, no need for credit or attention, we allow ourselves to be a great friend to others because it feels good to our own hearts, because this world needs more souls who live their lives by example. ~Will "Story" Rivera I'm not sure she will ever really know just how much I appreciate her presence and her thoughtfulness, her hard work and dedication, so sweet and so kind, she values the little things like a raindrop on a flower petal or a colorful sunset, the world is seen differently through her eyes, she is playful and wild, full of thoughtful surprises, she is beautiful in a way that does not require maintenance, that deep deep inner glow that never fades, that love for life and it's adventures - she is a rare gem in a world of stones - it's not always easy for her and still she smiles, still she moves forward with grace and courage, she is triumphant, a hero, I admire her strength, she is just magnificent of a creature and everyday there is something new to love about her. I'm sure she will never truly know just how much I appreciate all that she is. ~Will "Story" Rivera
