friendship

C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

Awakening
“I don’t know why I am doing this,” he declared as he gripped the metal arm rest, turning his knuckles pale white. The distinct hum of the powerful engine echoed over the chatter of the other passengers. Smiling, she looked at him.

Indomitable Love
* There are different kinds of love. The most frequently referred to is Eros, or romantic love. I want to bring attention to a more powerful love. The love that never ends. This love is not an emotion, it is a verb, and can be applied to a large range of relationships. Despite obtaining my Bachelors degree in Biblical studies, it was only later in life that I fully understood this vein of love based off of one biblical account.*

Love is a Shitload of Work. Runner-Up in Love Unraveled Challenge.
Love… is a shitload of work. This is most likely because ‘love’ is a verb and not a nouny feeling like we want to believe. If love were a noun, it would be simpler to understand because nouns are straight forward and honest; self-centered, to be sure, but with a noun you can be certain what kind of person, place, or thing you’re getting.

LaLa Land. Top Story - March 2024.
Steven takes me to see LaLa Land the day after Ellie leaves New Haven. He's seen it already, but that's ok: he'll love it all the more for seeing it again. He promises. In the uber to the theater, he gushes over Ryan Gosling. I stare in numb horror at the conspicuous neon glare of my hospital socks through the straps of my Birkenstocks.

Lost and Found
It’s strange how you don’t really realize how thankful you are for something until you come close to losing it. For example, I appreciate electricity, a whole lot more after I have to go without it for a few hours, or days due to a hurricane or storm. Or, when I get sick and have to stay home, I find myself to be more thankful for the majority of the time, when I am healthy. There’s so many things that I take for granted, much more than just electricity and a healthy body. I never really thought about all the things and people I take for granted until I almost lost my cousin. His near death experience inspired me to cherish and invest in my family relationships.

Remembering the Basics of Civility
In any society, there’s a thin line between civilization and barbarism. When we are civil with each other, when we say what we mean and when we do what we say, we will be better off for having maintained the basic standards of civility. Without civility, there is no civilization to come from that.
