“Our destiny awaits.”
“Hmm, destiny?”
“Destiny,” I answer.
You ever wonder how much power one single word can hold?
I thought I knew. I’m an artist, after all; words are what I do. They’re what I wield; they may as well be my sword.
But I miscalculated the power just like I miscalculated every step that led me into her house.
Every laugh.
Every sigh.
Even the silence was grossly miscalculated.
The moments where two people know it’s right but wrong at the same time, where the kisses feel more urgent and passionate than they should, like you’ve struck the perfect chord with another only to know the song has to end—it must.
The world paused that night.
And like passing ships, we continued on.
And lived for ourselves rather than each other.
I still think about the times I stopped walking toward the SUV.
The number of times I reached into my pocket and touched one of the stupid coaster party favors I’d found on her table when I left in the darkness.
Some things mean something because they can’t help it.
Some things mean something because they must.
And some things you force yourself to look at as meaningless because if you truly acknowledged their truth—then destiny, for sure, would find you. And not all of us are ready for the truth.
Some of us look at truth as the end of the fake reality you’ve been living, tossing you into the rawness of your existence.
And some of us would rather live outside of that because it’s the only way we can survive.
You are invited to the Wedding of the Year!
