She looked at him. When her eyes lay on him, she sees a contrast between heaven and hell, two places so different from each, but yet underlying connected with each other. She watched the way his lips curled whenever he made plausible arguments about the world they live in. She loved the way his tongue touched the roof of her mouth when their lips collide. She longed for his fingers to trace her inner thigh, the way his hands kept her captive from the demons in the world, and the way his feet rubbed the sheets on the bed.
He loved the way she counted syllables of words . The way she always seemed embarrassed when she stared at someone for too long. He loved when she says “oops” right before she undresses, she had this fear of her body not ever being good enough for him; her insecurities haunted her. The way she managed to drink their moments together, swallow them, and mention them when their times of trouble He loved that she speaks when she feels like, the way she thinks before she speaks, and the way her words are bricks in water. They sink in.
❝So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating effect.❞
Yesterday, in Speech class, my professor showed us a mini speech on the effects of living unhealthy. This speech really opened my eye because of the way I handle food. I was never the type to check to see where my food came from, or if pesticides was sprayed on them. I never realized that eating so much processed food, can affect you emotionally,and internally. Only 1 out 10 people get cancer primarily because of genetics, this means that the rest of the people used in this statistic, got cancer from eating poorly and lack of exercise. It’s scary to see this happen in our society, and watch aimlessly without sharing this piece of information. So enjoy this information, and most importantly, share the word.
