What is love?
A deep attachment of two or more sentient beings?
A companionship of more than just friends?
Can it be both joyous and painful?
Do we find it …
Or does it find us?
The moment of childbirth is etched in a parent’s mind
An instantaneous desire to both nurture and protect
An overwhelming rapture of the perfection of nature
That image is romantic, but the attachment is not
Romantic love is an equal partnership of lovers
If true, it does not compete or accuse
No … True love is unquestioning and trusting
Trustworthy, unconditional and eternal
Yes, love is joyous and fulfilling
But it can also be painful
It may be better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
But loss is loss
And separation is an ache
Love cannot be forced or easily found
But when it truly finds us …
It is forever

Beyond Screens: Nostalgic Reflections on a Simpler Era
The Writing Prompt - Do you remember life before the internet? Oh, the days before the internet! They hold a certain charm, a nostalgic longing for a simpler way of life. In response to the writing prompt asking whether I remember life before the internet, my answer is an unequivocal yes! The world we inhabited back then was one where imagination thrived, friendships blossomed through outdoor play, and entertainment relied not on screens but on the power of our minds.
