love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
How You Know If You're in Love
When they touch you and it feels as if they're touching your soul. When you wake up and they're the first thing on your mind. When you've had a long day, but they hold you and all your cares disappear. When you make love and it feels like no one else in the world matters. You both value each other's opinion and thoughts. When you both sit down and talk before jumping to conclusions. Thinking before you speak, knowing that the words can hurt, and sometimes words can hurt even worse than your physical touch. You always give words of encouragements to each other, especially when they need it most. You look forward to the future with them, as they do you. Last, but not least, when you feel you can get through any storm with them by your side.

How My Homecoming Queen Became My Forever
People always talk about what it means to love and who they love, and why they love and how they just don't really love this or that anymore. Today, you can fall in love, you can hop into love, you can force love and you can fake love (we are looking at you, LA). Now that we are talking about it, there is no limit to the things or expressions of love that are possible for the average American in 2018. But for our purposes here today, let's talk about relational love. Not necessarily "Eros" or as the Greeks would define it, physical and erotic love, but love in the sense of relationship and everything that embodies a romantic involvement with someone.

Meeting My Future Husband
It was the summer of 2016. I had met the love of my life. But never did I know that I was going to be with him forever. I had gone on Match.com wanting to see what would happen. So, I talked to a bunch of people. But only one stood out to me. I knew he was the one, I don't know how, I don't know why, but I just had a feeling. So how do you know if who you meet is the one? You don't really know, you just have feeling, like a gut feeling. That's what I felt, I knew this guy was right for me. Just how we spoke and how we still speak. I know for sure that he's going to be my husband someday. He and I already talking about It. I'm so happy with this guy that I feel like my whole world revolves around him. I also promised myself to him. I still have the ring. He hasn't ever taken his off. I just love him so much. We laugh together, we hang out together, but now it's a little bit rough. He lost his house here, so he had to move. It's been rough on both of us. But we are getting through It. He even promised that when the time comes he'll send for me, to come up and live with him. I'm so very excited for that. I know it's going to be fantastic, and so much fun. But he has to get a job first. He has to transfer to his job from his town up here to the town down there. He's been having trouble. My parents they keep asking me, "Has he gotten it yet?" With all the damn questions it's very frustrating for both of us. It's been tough because the store from his old town hasn't been doing as they should to get the transfer going. He's been telling me that the store in his old town is being such lazy buttheads he finally got an answer from them today. Like seriously how long does it take? A transfer shouldn't take that long mind you. It should take just like a little while and then boom you got It. But no, these douchebags are so lazy and so stupid, but they were lolly-gagging around instead of checking their fucking emails. As they should. So my man called their dumbasses up, finally got shit going. Because one of the teams of people finally found the email and sent it over to the other people in the other store. Like how fucking stupid you got a be not to check your email. Very stupid I'm sure. So now I think things are going to go okay. I hope. But yeah I really want to live with him and right now I think it's going to go great. Really, really great.

Ocean Deep
He was like an ocean, glittering and beautiful on the surface. At first glance, he seemed soft and comforting and warm. Unable to resist the glimmer of his water and the deep comforting scent of the air around him she steps closer to the edge of his waves. His waves lapped against her pulling her closer to him, she smiled wondering what it would be like beneath the surface, giving herself completely over to him. As she dove into his waters she sunk beneath the calm surface and she began to discover the vastness of his depths. Directly above her lived a serene blue light that she watched with wonder as she fell deeper into him. The waters started to get dark and cold, forms cloaked in darkness began to surround her. The dark shapes began to move around, but every time she felt scared or lost she looked up and saw his light. She didn’t swim long in the openness of him before she felt the need to shrink back into herself. She wraps her arms around herself letting her body sink lower into the cold water she starts to struggle beneath the forms swimming around her, careful not to startle them. Wrapped in herself she struggles to find warmth, the forms around her begin to get closer. She looks towards the surface looking for any glimmer of the light she once saw in him but the darkness was deep and she couldn’t find any trace of who she saw before she entered the water that now consumed her. She longed for the time where she could watch him from the sandy shores, she longed for a time of wonder and warmth, she longed for some distance to separate them, some distance to let her catch her breath. His water filled her lungs starving her of air, water that once seemed so warm and calm was now strangling the life out of her. She was filled with a sadness that sunk her lower into him, she looked toward the surface but all she saw was darkness, a deep black closing in around her. She was now lost to the world, cut off from everyone except for him, she was isolated and wanted nothing more than to see the world that he had taken her from. She wanted out and he wanted her warmth so he wrapped around her and held her tight unwilling to let her go. She wanted out but she was unable to swim upward, unable to do what she physically could to escape because although her lungs were taken by water her heart was taken by him. She couldn’t leave him, she couldn’t forget the warmth that he had given her, the love that he had made her feel. She screams out unable to make a sound, no one around to sense her suffering. The grasp he has on her leaves her feeling the world, the life, the hope leave her body. And still, she feels she cannot leave, she is afraid of being without his beauty more than she is afraid of suffocating, for the starvation of air would feel sharper on the surface without him. Without him, she would fall into deep waters of her own, unable to breathe, think, or scream, and alone she would be suffocating on a surface filled with air, and that would be so much worse than drowning here, now, into him. She hits the bottom of the ocean, she gives into the darkness that won’t let her go, she releases her struggle and lets him consume her. She closes her eyes, stills herself, and lets him have her.

Love at First Sight
It was just a normal day, I was playing with my daughter and just got finished cleaning the house. I was currently pregnant with my second daughter as well. She was entertained by a cartoon, so I started to scroll on facebook. I seen this man (he was very handsome) on the people you may know. So I added him, moments later I got a message from him. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Reflections on Love from Another Messed Up Human Being
I never felt like I could fall in love. I never felt like I deserved to fall in love and be loved by someone. I used to be so messed up and probably still am a little bit. Chasing after a perfect version of myself everywhere I could. Trying to fill the empty void left by my non-existing and destructing father. Striving to figure out my place in this world. Convincing myself I deserved to be happy and that I could live my life the way I wanted. Fighting for self-love and acceptance in a society where diktats are more important than happiness. Struggling to keep my boat afloat while juggling with chronic pain on a daily basis. All of this while trying to be the shoulders my friends and family could cry on. All of this always with the optimism that if I smile at life, it would smile me back.

You're Breaking Your Own Heart
Have you ever loved someone that didn't love you back? Have you ever been so raw and open with the person, just to be thrown away like you mean nothing? I have. I can say that pain is truly one of the worst I have ever lived to experience!

A Love More Ordinary
We are over saturated with love stories where there are grand romantic gestures and epic sacrifices. I don't remember the last time I read a love story where love developed organically, slowly, over time, between friends, and instead of huge romantic gestures, and life and death sacrifices, talked about the safe feeling that comes from knowing you have someone who understands you. Actually let me amend that. There is one book that has done that, that I have read in the last few years. It was The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Though not a "love story" specifically, there is a love that develops there organically through friendship and is not demonstrated through grand gestures but in simple sentences and support. The fact that it is queer love, makes it better for me of course.
