love

All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.

What is love?
Honestly I kind of think asking what love is, is a really loaded question. It’s an unquantifiable emotion felt everywhere, everyday. Someone once told me that where there is life, there is love. I think the best place to start is by acknowledging that love is so much more than just romance. Love is found through our family, friends, pets, and even through our passions. We have all experienced at least one kind of love in our lives. To think otherwise is naive. Through loving we are able to find happiness, bliss, and a sense of purpose.

Your Writing Could Save Somebody’s Life
I was just having a super-cool interaction with my buddy Rusty Shackleford a few minutes ago. I came downstairs to hang with my daughters while they splatted the toon, (playing Splatoon 3 on Switch), and thought I’d check my Medium for new comments.

Finding happiness
In my lifetime I have known many things. I have known both love and hatred, I have known sadness and sorrow and absolute joy. I discovered what the loss of a loved one can do to those left behind and came to realize the importance of those around me. I have been on the receiving end of anger and abuse. Felt lust and the craving of another's flesh against mine. I have witnessed hunger firsthand yet always kept my children fed. I’ve known jealousy and learned how it can tear you up if you let it. I learned the fine art of lying to hide my true sense of worthlessness. I have been deceived and been the deceiver. I have known the agony of feeling completely alone while in a world full of people. I held hands and walked with death and then was brought back by an angel. I have seen the true miracle of birth and the horrific feelings at the loss of your own child. Yes, I have known and seen and learned a lot in my lifetime but one thing has always eluded me, the one thing everyone searches for, the thing everyone deserves… true happiness.

Some People Are Sad During the Holidays
“It’s the most wonderful time… Of the year…” Andy Williams I love that song. I heard it a few days ago while flipping through the radio stations. Traditionally, though Christmas is my favorite holiday, I’ve never been one to start listening to holiday music in the car come mid-November. I just enjoy my normal classic rock music far too much to switch to Christmas songs.

When is The Right Time For Your Foreign Partner To Meet Your Family?
As long as you didn’t take her to your parents on the first date, you should be good. You can’t get any worse than that. Truth be told, it should be after a certain amount of time before you even decide to entertain the idea of introducing her to your family. The moment you let her meet your family is the moment you want to merge your family life with your love life. It doesn’t seem much if you look at it from an outsider’s perspective, but it’s huge for you and your partner.
