unedited for 100 days. Day 15

Some say that we overuse the word 'Love'. The concern is that the word will lose it's meaning or lose it's sincerity perhaps. I disagree. I think we need to use the word more! The world is in constant calibration, searching for it's true nature. Is the world good? Is it bad? I mean, 'To be or not to be?' right? All I know is that the world needs more love. More light. If you love the shit out of your pet snake- perfect! If you love the shit out of your books, or your coffee or your vintage record player, bring it! We need this kind of energy circulating around us. And isn't it obvious that when I say, "I love my manicure" it's not the same as saying "I love you" to my peeps? And even with our friends and family, isn't it true that we have a special and unique love for each person? Why limit this word to romantic love anyways? And what about self-love? That's a weird one. I think we struggle with it because we forget that love can be an expression of gratitude or acceptance. I really don't think we can ever know all the ways of love. However, I assert that we all have a right to express love in whatever damn way we please. So happy valentines to you and your pet snake!
