What is Love?

As the sun sets on my romantic dreams!

I still don’t understand what it is!

A bit like electricity?

Love is like a light switch which turns on and, in my case off—I still don’t understand how that works either. Sometimes love lights up your world, other times it shocks the heck out of you, and occasionally it leaves you in the dark, wondering if you paid the bill!

Love is indeed complex, like trying to fold a fitted sheet. We think there’s a “right way” to do it, but let’s be honest—most of us are just rolling it up and hoping it doesn’t unravel at the worst possible moment which is a bit like some relationships.

Yes, familial love is often considered the simplest and most instinctive form of love. It’s like the Wi-Fi of relationships—always there, connecting you whether you like it or not. Sibling love, in particular, is a special kind of chaos. One minute you’re ready to donate a kidney, the next you’re wondering how they’ve managed to annoy you with just their breathing. But that’s love—equal parts devotion and exasperation!

Romantic love is definitely like a roller coaster designed by a mad scientist—thrilling, confusing, sometimes making you scream, and yet, you keep getting back in line. One moment, you’re writing love poems in your head; the next, you’re arguing over who left the cap off the toothpaste. It’s wild, unpredictable, and just when you think you’ve got it figured out, it flips upside down. Honestly, understanding romantic love is like trying to read a novel in a language you don’t speak, but you’re too invested to put it down!

Platonic love with men can feel like trying to keep a cat off your keyboard—no matter how many times you explain the boundaries, they keep testing them. It’s that deep connection where you think, “Are we friends?” and then, boom, they’re looking at you like you’re the last piece of pizza on the platonic platter. Love should be all about shared values, trust, and having a laugh—but sometimes, we misread the map and ends up at “Kissville” when you’re just trying to chill in “Pals Town”.

Self-love is definitely the best!

No need for mind games or decoding mixed signals—it’s just you, appreciating yourself like the absolute legend you are. You always know what you want for dinner, how you like your coffee, and let’s be honest, no one gives you a better pep talk than you. It’s the most straightforward relationship you’ll ever have, plus you never have to share the last piece of your saucy orecchiette!

Now that’s true love!

To my Daughters!

I am all around you
you'll hear me in the wind!

Listen for it joyfully
When you need me in the night
It's whisper it will remind you
How to get it right!

Look up and you'll see me
Shining in the sun!

My warmth, it will surround you
Caress you when you're sad
Don't despair, I'm always there 
in good times and in bad!

My memory will lead you
And soon you'll understand 
Remember just how strong you were
When last, you, held my hand!

My laughter is a part of you
Make it loud and clear
I've given you the tools you need
You are strong 
My Dear!
