Love
When you think you've learned so much about life, you realize there's always more, and that you know very little.
Love has always intrigued me. I've often imagined it as an intense, expressive bond—sharing, caring, and desiring between two souls. But I hadn't considered the other dimensions of love. I hadn't experienced it;
Listen to "Sacrifice" by Elton John. What do you feel? Sadness? Love? Something?
Music resonates with our hearts, in ways that helps us find words to express the emotions coursing through
And Love; Love is like a flickering candle in the wind. It shines brightly for a moment, and then it's dark once again.
My perception of love might have been one-sided. I believed I was solely responsible for showing love and the gestures it entails. I hadn't realized that love is true symbiosis.
I also believed that love could be easily replicated. I was mistaken. An awakening to the heart leaves a deeper void than one can imagine, especially when the love is unique
Ever seen a movie where the protagonist is pushed to the brink? Striving for a higher state of being, only to find themselves back at the beginning, over and over; returning to the desolate, cold start. Love can feel that way too.
Some of us are ensnared by love's curse. Its magnetic pull draws sweet, alluring auras our way, yet we can't grasp them. And if we do, we can't hold onto them; Their scent fleets away ever so quickly.
This is what love feels like—the pull towards the beloved. Speak of the attraction to the beloved.
The one who fills you up, makes everything feel alive, different, genuine, soulful, insightful, beautiful. Even for a brief moment.
The one who brings you peace, allowing you experience gentleness in its purest form—the feeling of true admiration, to see and touch softly, to reflect as a mirror of your true self.
Love is indeed gentle, and one deserves the chance to experience it.
And even when everything quiets down, love never fades.
Love makes you question, do I even need to be a billionaire? After all, what follows such an achievement? More work, more isolation. Love has a way of stripping it all away, the material pursuits, revealing them as hollow and unfulfilling. In the presence of love, these ambitions fade into nothingness, and life feels refreshingly simple and profoundly meaningful.
Love offers purity, richness, and satisfaction like no other. Love is peace. Love is mutual.
Love embodies all the qualities you deserve and are rare to find.
When you feel love, you feel at home. Your body, mind, and environment harmonize with you.
A love trip feels like forever adventures in a day, in one night.
And even when it quiets down, love never dies.
For two tethered, hold stronger.
One cannot replicate a unique experience twice. The bond between you and the beloved is something worth preserving.
