your post has been in my unread emails for a week...as i now have read it, i had to respond with love. i've been ruminating on love lately. love lost, mostly - so many stories there...or the lack of romantic love in my relationship - forgetting, as you reminded me, that love is all around. (cue the music) love is beauty, love is comfort, love is most definitely self love. i am complete:)

Love the post, Gena! At this point in my life, I am learning to understand the broader idea of love in the same ways you describe. It's so much more fulfilling.

Gena... this is such a powerful post! Thank you for reflecting so much of my own experience and for the many nuggets of wisdom.

"Romantic love is just one of the many facets of love. We are here to love and be loved in all of its glorious forms—platonic, romantic, familial, self, spiritual. Only love will transform hardened hearts and minds. Radical love is a form of resistance and of revolution. Love is the true power."

Aho! ❤️❤️❤️
