Let's talk about love. How'd you define it?
It seems trickier as I age. Maybe because everyone feels it differently based on their childhood.
What was love like for you?
My upbringing was rigid and unemotional. I've been told my approach “lacks tenderness”. My homeland's saying: "Qui aime bien, Chatie bien" reflects that.
(chuckles) Interesting. How about relationships?
It's a mixed bag, better than some, worse than others. Like life, a lesson. Growth, kindness, putting others first. Sometimes it's amazing, and sometimes it feels like a battlefield. Love truly is war, wouldn't you say?
Intense! What keeps you going then?
Staying present, not forcing things. My mom used to say, "Try your best, but if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be."
Powerful message. Did that resonate with you?
Sure
So, what do YOU want love to be?
Two souls, energies flowing freely, merging for warmth & limitless possibilities.
