Prose for the Unrequited Lord Toph

Prose for the Unrequited (Black & White Images) So often in life, we find ourselves longing for beauty, companionship, passion and of course, love. These facets of human nature's needs are not always easy to obtain. Depression and insecurities such as self-doubt can occur with anyone; even with the counselors, gurus and motivational speakers who seem to always have the answers to fulfill someone else's needs. Yet they too at times fall from the grace of ardor and good favor and may take temporary shelter behind the perception of themselves they want others to see. But for years what has rang true for so many is the emotional "rise from rock bottom," which so many can relate to. Whether they have done it themselves, are still in the process of doing so or have finally and firmly decided that it's something they want to do. This is where the honesty dwells in having a wonderful relationship or hoping for someone to have one with. "Prose for the Unrequited" was inspired by the beauty which lies in being without someone, the involuntary abstinence, if you will. Throughout adulthood, pining and yearning for that ideal relationship and that special someone to share it with happens to be a rather common thing for individuals to experience. In some cases, it happens frequently for those who claim to be in happy unions with another, but secretly still desire a special connection or experience elsewhere. Whatever the case may be for the reader which happens to give this collection of prose a read, "Prose for the Unrequited" will on some level, resonate with them and perhaps even pleasantly strike a nerve. It may even do so much as to rekindle sparks from some old form of affection that has been tucked away in some hopeless romantic's thoughts. This collection expresses the highs and lows of the various dynamics one may feel from being lonely in order to provide a positive perspective on the aspect of "alone" and defining the difference between the two. "Prose for the Unrequited" promises to be an intriguing read for readers single or betrothed. Each and every one of us knows what it is like to love, be loved or long to be. Yet the fortunate individuals are the ones who appreciate every level of love genuinely.
