Beautifully said! To yearn is to want and to be wanted is a euphoric feeling that I think many people hope to experience in life. Which is why it’s also funny that to “have a crush” is seen as childlike but children are the ones who love so purely, freely, and openly.
this is breathtaking, and in a way reframed my approach to having crushes. i get annoyed with myself sometimes, like oh another one after how many didn’t work out 😭 but honestly, that’s what makes me feel alive still. the ones that have gone farther than the crush phases, two in particular, became inspiration for many factors within my poems and writing. truly feeling is never a waste, and i think sometimes we can forget that
This was such a beautiful read! Amazing! 🤧🤍 I just talked about something similar in my latest post about embracing what it feels like to crush again. Like, why are we sucking the magic out of what makes us human.
The problem with “desire” is that they are incel-coded. It’s not just about cringe - cringe comes from somewhere.
Cringe that comes from desire (especially desiring another person) is really because people who display any expression of scarcity / lack in which that lack is another person is incel-coded.
“You are not entitled to another person”, after all.
Love this! I was motivated to work in a lab which got me into graduate school only because I had a major crush on the grad student conducting the study in the lab next door 😉
I find the world in which we all live these days has sadly lost it's ability to find longing and desire very human feelings even if it's to give selflessly to another in a way any of us can.....social media revels in mocking one another for emotional vulnerability which is a mighty strength, one that makes you rich in life and a truly deep human. Why wouldn't you want this? To be apart of this /experience this is what makes life worth living. Be a clown be cringey something wonderful comes from this. Great writing thank you.
Let me yearn without mistaking it for madness.

Same, girl. Same.
In yearning we surrender pride for intimacy.

My grief has transformed my writing and made it more compassionate. Yearning is not foolish, it is a feeling of hope and of possibility.

This feels like oxygen — a defense of something sacred we’ve been taught to suppress.
“Desire as blueprint” — what a revelation. Wanting isn’t weakness; it’s the first spark of creation.
To ache is to be alive. To long is to remember you’re still capable of being moved. Reality loved this, thank you ❤️
yearning is a dying art form </3
My soul is nourished
I’m so glad!
This actually just hugged my soul
