There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice -F. Scott Fitzgerald What is love, you ask? It's that dualistic healing remedy that fixes all ailments, both internal and external. It's something that everyone through the ages look high and low to find; yet due to limitations of the flesh, we inadvertently limit ourselves. We get caught up in doing things correctly but sadly, we end up realizing that there is no correct way to love, besides purely. Love is listening to a jazz ensemble and allowing your heart to jump and dance to the beat. It does not create barriers and constrictions on day to day activities. Love is free and abundant. Love can also be dark. In reality, it is a high that you cannot get away from. Once you get a small dosage of it, you just want to continuously increase your intake or else it lacks satisfaction. Love will leave you listening to some of the saddest songs in a dark room, for hours, and questioning everything around you. There's something about vulnerability that strikes fear in us. You find yourself searching for ways to exist without the person that you love, but you find that it is total insanity to even try to fathom it. I prayed for a love that was heart wrenching, painful, and a paradigm shift even. Normal love was not something that I needed. Simple love was not something that would fit the love that I reciprocated. Love isn't supposed to be painful right? The love I was searching for was extraordinary; I wanted to encompass every emotion out there. I wanted to test the limits of love and test the limits of my being and my soul. The ancestors listened.
