What can we do?

Do you remember loving people? It feels like something that happened in another lifetime. I have seen it in the Hallmark movies I am addicted to — there is an abundance of kindness dripping from the TV screen into my home when watching these shows. Sometimes I roll my eyes a bit because of the nonsensical endings that wrap everything up in a beautiful, loving bow.

Too much, right? Or is it? Should not we try for nonsensical love?

It is so easy to live in a bubble world where everyone is like you. Of course you love the amazing people in your life; to not love them means you do not love yourself. They are a replication of you after all.

Can we try harder? Can we love when it is a challenge? I know we can.

Change happens in me and with me.

I will love.
