There are many ways to fall in love. With your eyes, when looking at someone so delicious you can’t believe they are by your side and allowing you to taste them. With your mind, when understanding that the habits, lifestyle and compatibility of another will be completely in sync. And then with the heart, the way it ebbs and flows depending on the proximity of one’s loved one, the fluctuations themselves highly addictive. I’ve mostly fallen in love with my eyes, occasionally with my mind, but never with my heart -until a few years ago. The simple reason for that is, it’s just so goddamn risky.
This was the third painting I put my brush to last year. I painted it at the very tail end of mending my first ever broken heart. Whenever I look at this painting, I see the sadness I felt when he first faded away. I also see how lucky I was that I got to experience loving someone purely, without a goal, just with my heart. There are some out there that never get that experience. I now completely understand it’s a broken way to love someone. The right way being when you combine one’s eyes, mind and heart. Which I’m finally open to experiencing.
