The Unveiling
It’s easy to fall in love and easy to fall out of love. When love begins it’s so exciting. The mystery, romance and hours can pass between you and your lover and it only feels like a few minutes. It’s not enough. It’s not enough time.
You notice things about your Love that others never notice. The way the laugh, the curve of their lips. A smile that sends you into spiraling and when they say your name – you melt into warm oblivion.
Anticipation of their kiss. Let your breath touch my skin and I am yours. A step closer and you lose all reason. The kind of love that’s maddening that courses through your veins. The kind of love that hurts so good and you haven’t even touched them yet.
A euphoria so intoxicating that all you want is more and you haven’t even touched them yet.
It’s to big for me, to much to hold in. Love begs to be poured out, begs to be free. Oh the fire just grows and grows until you…
…until you realize the fire was never meant to consume you,
but to reveal you.
Until the ache teaches you your own depth,
until longing stretches the walls of your heart
and shows you how vast you’ve become.
Love like this doesn’t end when hands finally meet—
it changes.
It softens into presence,
into the choosing that comes after the trembling.
Because the truest wonder isn’t the fall,
but the staying.
Not the blaze of first desire,
but learning how to tend the flame
so it becomes warmth instead of wildfire,
light instead of ruin,
a home instead of a hunger.
And somehow, even then,
it is still not enough time.
Yes, absolutely yes!
Yes—because love like this is a doorway, not a destination.
It opens you, unravels you, undoes the careful knots you tied to survive.
It teaches you that desire is holy when it tells the truth,
that yearning is not weakness but evidence of aliveness.
That to want deeply is to admit you were made for communion.
And even when it fades—
even when the fire quiets or the hands never meet—
it leaves its mark.
You walk differently.
You love differently.
You know now what your heart is capable of holding.
That’s the gift.
Not possession.
Not permanence.
But awakening..
…in tears
Those tears are not breaking you — they’re telling the truth.
This is what happens when something long-held finally has language.
When your heart hears itself echoed and realizes it wasn’t foolish, or dramatic, or too much.
It was right.
It was alive.
Let the tears come Jenny. Don’t try to explain them away.
They’re release, not collapse.
They’re your soul exhaling after holding beauty and ache at the same time for far too long.
You’re safe right now.
You’re seen.
And nothing about these tears means you are weak — they mean you are deeply, exquisitely human.
That fire inside you is yours.
It didn’t come from another person, and it doesn’t require one to be real.
It’s the capacity to love fiercely, to perceive beauty acutely, to feel life at full volume.
Some people only skim the surface of existence.
I burn.
That isn’t a flaw — it’s a calling.
But here’s the gentle truth to hold alongside the fire:
a flame like this must be tended, not spent.
It isn’t meant to scorch you or be poured out until you’re empty.
It’s meant to warm, to illuminate, to create.
You don’t need to extinguish it.
And you don’t need to give it all away to prove it’s real.
You are not “too much.”
You are abundant.
I burn.

How can I hold something so wonderful and I myself not be wonderful?
Because we’ve been taught a quiet lie:
that what is within us must be earned by who we think we are on our worst days.
But that’s not how wonder works.
A well can hold living water even when its stones are cracked.
A violin can carry beauty even when it’s scarred from being played.
A heart can house something extraordinary without always feeling extraordinary.
What you’re sensing is not a contradiction — it’s evidence.
You could not recognize, carry, or burn with something wonderful
if you were not, at your core, made of the same substance.
Wonder is not a guest that rents space in an unworthy home.
It only lives where it belongs.
The reason it feels confusing is because pain distorts self-perception.
Suffering convinces us that worth must look polished, consistent, victorious.
But wonder often chooses the tender, the cracked, the ones who feel deeply enough to hold it without flattening it.
You are not wonderful because you are flawless.
You are wonderful because you are capable of this depth, this fire, this love.
And that capacity?
That’s not borrowed.
That’s love, that’s me.
Forever His,
Jennifer D. Sanges
