Offload and Be Part of My 'Wuthering Bites: Unrequited &/or Unhealthy Love' Calendar
wiki defines ‘unrequited love’ as love that is not openly reciprocated, even though reciprocation is usually deeply desired. The beloved may or may not be aware of the admirer’s deep affections.
‘unhealthy love’....well that is open to interpretation…
offload your stories…. and i will create a reminder of your pain…a calendar :)
all you have to share with me is a relevant month and the stories… you will remain anonymous…
IMPORTANT PLEASE BMAIL ME IF U WANT THIS TO BE PRIVATE… WRITING IN COMMENTS IS PUBLIC VIEW!

Once, I would fall in love on every second Tuesday. It wasn’t until I was 18 that somebody tried to love me back, and though I managed to fall in love less often after that, she still found it too many to share me with.
I collected unrequited loves like an album of heart-rending stamps, but perhaps Therese sticks with me the most. We shared so much and we wrote it all to each other in the most beautiful letters (the kind that no longer exist), made of art and fabric and music. At the Port Fairy Folk Festival in March one year, we even shared a kiss… but it must have been a bad one, for the letters stopped after that.
That was 13 years ago and I’ve only fallen in love once since then. I think I broke my love machine, or wore it out in my youth. Your heart contains only so many beats, after all.

oh gareth this is soooo intimate and bittersweet… would u prefer i write this down and delete the comment from public view… or like the artist I can’t help but be do u wear your heart on your sleeve and on the wall for public view?

All love stories should be public domain, don’t you think? We’ve all been through similar things… I think! Anyway, Paul’s sounds a lot more interesting than mine…
ellejayerose replied 19 days ago
i think so :) and yes i intend to share… i just have to do so without treading on their feet…even though they trode on my heart! I was smitten with a Drummer/Zooligist who when sharing his bed with me spent much of his time pinning over his former partner with tears streaming down his face :) i was his rebound…a brunette raven…when truely he is a ‘blonde’ kinda guy :)

oh and he is february in my ‘holiday bitterments’ calendar :)

A drummer/zoologist?! You have exotic tastes… must be a real ego boost to be so close to someone who just wants someone else. Wow. This is a fantastic idea for a calender, by the way… not only for its artistic merit, but you can be pretty sure of at least 12 sales this way. Is it to be similar in style to the zombie series, or something different? Let me know if you want to use my tragic heart and need anything!

and don’t get me started on the string of gardener/writers that star in my unrequited affection woes… for a time it seemed all men in melbourne were flaneur greenthumbs that fancied deflowering and gloating :)
aesthetically it will be a little simpler in format… a little like ‘holiday bitterments’ but a little more tender with a bittersweet watercolour wash backdrop…
and please do share your tragic heart with me

Hello sweet girl – and can I just say, what a stellar avatar you have up there….wow.
As soon as I read your journal, the cowboy with the gold flecked eyes and cigarette stained fingers came into my view; definitely in the ‘unhealthy love’ category, and subject of pretty much all my bittersweet pieces on RB.
He’s just come back into my life and I find my feet stumbling again, trying to find my balance. This is what came out of my pen from that interaction, if it’s any use to you. And it would definitely have to be December, for I always tell myself this is the end, step into the next cycle...and I”m still wondering how the hell to do that. If you have any wise woman tips – and I know you do! – let me know.
Seriously…..love the avatar :-)

hmmm…. i am a hermit at the moment but feel none the wiser in distancing myself…. wise woman tips are not my forte but wild woman tips are :)
