One facet to love is patience. But what people do not realize is that patience does not mean allowing another person to walk all over you. It means to want to take the time and effort with another person that you value. In the dictionary, patience is described as the ability to wait after something. But waiting for something does not mean waiting forever. This is what is important to differentiate between being patient because of love and being over the top. Love is not so patient that a person gets hurt. Love is the kind of patience that allows the person to wait for the right thing in their…

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 The most known way of seeing what love is, is with this bible verse, although one can look at many different places to learn what love is. But one thing that all answers the question of what love is, is that love has many facets, and we need to…

Love is blind is a famous saying that I think everyone knows. But is this the truth? For me, I feel that love, true love, is not blind. Lust is blind because it is driven by passion and by desires. But love is more than just desire and passion. Love is when you know how to let go when you can appreciate the other for who they are. Love is wanting the other person to become better but knows that harsh criticism and negative speaking does not do anything but hurt the other person. Love is patient, kind, love strives through all problems and wants to find solutions. I love…

“True lust knows no bounds. Marriage or otherwise” – Ahmed Korayem I have often talked about love, well today I’m going to talk about lust. Lust is not like love, but it can be a powerful tool in writing. Because lust is that attraction two people can get even if they are all wrong for each other or in love with another. Lust is when two people cannot take their hands off each other, that intense connection that when they look into each other’s eyes they want to kiss each other. Lust is that moment that all you can think of is laying there naked with the person in front…

There is nothing more powerful than love. Many people may argue with me on this but at the end of the day, money and knowledge, and whatever else you can think of that can be very powerful, but love is the top. Love can be more powerful than money, than knowledge, than the mind. Love can conquer all, but the key here is belief and true love. You must believe in love and understand what true love is. Lust is so prevalent in our society today that people tend to think it’s love when it’s just lust. When you can say that you will die for another, whether family, friend,…

In life, we all go through many different situations, some bad some good. Sometimes it can seem neverending and frustrating. Yet with these life problems comes a chance to overcome. I feel that the best way to overcome the worse of situations is through love. Everyone goes through a moment of despair, a time of no money, a world-changing event. But what allows us to move through these events with more resolve? Love. When we have love, we feel like we can handle anything the world throws at us. I like to write with this mentality sometimes. I have a character that life had destroyed her yet when love finds…

Heartbreak is a big part of being in love. Even though someone can love a person, often we experience heartbreak. Maybe the person is just not meant for us at that time or maybe not at all. But when we truly love someone, sometimes that person can break our heart by doing or saying something heartening. But that is a  part of life. We all experience this. As a writer, I love to write something that can be thought of as it could have happened. As much as writing about love can be fun and nice, a part of that writing is to write about heartbreak and traumas or issues…

A great writer is an observer of life O.S. As a writer, I find that we become good observers of the world. Well maybe not all writers, but I am like this. I am an observer of the world and people. I watch people’s behaviors, how they react in different situations. I watch as life can throw problems at people and see how they get out of it. I am an observer and I think most great writers are part observers. As a writer, I do know we need a creative spirit, but we also need to be observers. For how else can we write how this or that happens…

I watched a video on Facebook the other day and it was a very romantic way for a man to show how much he loved his woman. Here is the scenario: the man had to go on a trip and left behind four roses in four jars with each a note for each rose. He also left the main note that the girl read first telling her that when each flower dies that she is to read the note attached to the flower. As each flower died, she read the note and each time it was nice things telling his woman how much he loved her no matter what would…

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” ― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet I do believe almost everyone has heard this quote by Shakespeare. I love how it portrays that the name of a person does not make the value of that person. What makes the person is how they are as a person, not by what they are named by. However, when writing, names tend to bring in a whole other meaning. Well for me it does. I like to fit the names I chose for my characters to match their personality. And this may sound weird to some, but…
