Underestimated and underappreciated; a living example of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Brimming to the full with talent, present both in the seen way his mind works and the skill by which he uses his hands… Not a failure in any sense except in that he fails to recognise his own potential and previous successes.
Looking through those eyes from birth at the same face, day in, day out… Conditioned into devaluing himself, I don’t blame this ignorance… Although, it does hurt to know that he continually finds it difficult to understand the person that I see through my eyes. Considers himself mentally unstable, though my inability to recognise it is probably because I’m in the same boat, and I feel as if I’m around my own kind…
There’s a magic in his touch that I can honestly say I’ve never experienced before, and a tenderness in his eyes that calms my nerves when I become conscious of the fact that my vulnerability lies in his ability to manipulate my emotions at will… And the most heart wrenching, love inducing characteristic of all – he doesn’t realize just how much he has an effect on me, mentally… physically… emotionally…
He doesn’t know what he does for me; motivates me when I’m on the verge of giving up, makes me smile when I’m on the verge of crying my heart out, sends tremors of ecstasy through my body when I’m close to collapsing from pain…
I lost a sense of myself in the past few years. Lost the aspects in my life that honestly made me the multitasking, multitalented girl I was seen to be. Even in my happiness I found myself getting restless, in need of something 2do. Thankfully I never lost touch with my passion for mehndi. But it seems, over the last couple of months I have more time on my hands 2get back into the things I used 2 do. It’s an interesting feeling you know… not realising you’ve lost yourself until you start discovering the lost pieces again…
But you know the most significant thing about the above? There was only one other major change in my life that could have possibly affected anything… only one other thing coincides with the new way in which I see myself…
Him.

Btw… I honestly don’t know why I started this blog, nor is it specific in my mind as to what I’m going to be writing about, but I’m taking each day as it comes… maybe somewhere along the line it’ll reveal itself… or so I hope! xXx
