我的愛
(to be loved for my love).

Love is beautiful, but love isn’t happiness. In its full spectrum and depth, love also comes with heart-wrenching sadness, loneliness, and pain. But at its core, isn’t that what makes love so beautiful? The fact that love embodies and stimulates the full spectrum of human emotions (given traditional understandings of what is considered ‘good’ and/or ‘bad’). In reflection, love in isolation is not love — or else, it would just be called that individualistic emotion instead of ‘love’.

In consideration of this, maybe that is why I associate love with ‘home’ — because when I learnt to accept and acknowledge the existence of my own love (without judgement), that was when I finally felt accepted and at home in myself (whereby to love is to be full and whole in oneself).

(2026) to love.

to love.
To love is to experience the surplus beauty of what you appreciate and find beautiful in this world (in reference to what is not necessarily needed for survival, but can help in making life more enjoyable and pleasant along the way).

Given this, it would be a shame to stop yourself from loving something (anything), because that would prevent you from being able to freely experience and enjoy the form of beauty that you have come to love and appreciate in this world. Through the act of you withholding from your ability to experience of your own love, this can inadvertently prevent you from being able to appreciate the beauty of you yourself as well, as only you can feel and truly understand the beauty of the emotions that you hold for the things and people that you have come to have love for. This therefore showcases the reciprocal nature of your love, and the subsequent beauty that it represents about you and your life given who you are in this world as well.

In consequence to this, it would be nice and kind to yourself if you let yourself (fall in) love, because not only would it allow for you to enjoy and appreciate more of what you find beautiful in this world (external to yourself), it would also enable you to fall more in love with who you are internally as well (as you are your love, and your love is yours).
