Must We Lose Ourselves to Find Love?
People who crave happiness solely aren't really suited for relationships. It’s true. You might think love is sweet, ritualistic, and filled with companionship, but love isn't a reward; it’s a relationship, and no relationship is solely about happiness.

A Reserved Heart: The Wisdom of Letting Go
"It's not that I'm devoid of feelings; I simply no longer entrust myself to uncertain people." For a time, I would often panic and lose my composure over a single word, emotion, or gesture from someone. It seemed as if the slightest frown from them would crumble my world, and a sigh would make me doubt myself.

Winter Solstice Gratitude
Winter Solstice, Thank you for: Ancestors and family who’ve passed, and thanks to those to come. Look forward. Each day we experience wondrous sights. Our moon, sun, shooting stars and meteors, planets near and far, and the constellations within our spiraling Milky Way galaxy. Look up.

Which Kind of Love is Worthy of Your Whole Heart?
A truly positive view on love is this: If you love someone, be with them and cherish the moment. Don't overthink things; focus on the present and deal with the future later. Constantly overthinking will only make things worse, and you can't control what's going to happen anyway. And don't dwell on things that haven't happened yet; it only affects your mood and doesn't benefit your relationship.
