I love to watch romance movies, especially comedies, in my off time. Why? Because in today’s world, love is not perfect. Love can be messy and funny, which is portrayed in these movies all the time. You can find a lot of truth when watching a movie because, like in books, people always portray a certain reality of life in movies. Sometimes romantic comedies show us a lighter side to love, and that love can be found in any opportunity. These kinds of movies want to create a sense of love that can happen anywhere, which I believe is true. Romantic comedies help us believe that love is possible. This…

I am currently working on two novels, one in the 1800s and one more nowadays. I find it fascinating how much there can be such a massive difference in writing and how some things are the same. The things that can be different are how people talk about what they were and what they used. Such as, we have cell phones now, as, in the 1800s, they did not. But some things are always the same. Love is universal and always present. That is one thing that I love about what I write. Love is a constant. Whether you have a cell phone or not, whether you wear fancy dresses…

“Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.” Hamlet Love is a universal thing. There is no life without love when it comes to us humans. Yes, we can say that our instincts are a driving force, but I do believe that the one thing that makes us so different from animals is our ability to love and that the love we have for another can change our behaviors in good ways.  I do not believe that our instincts are the driving force in our lives, but the love or lack of love that we…

In today’s world, fighting seems to be a natural response to many [people. People get angry and fight. People want things and fight. But this is not what love is about. Love is releasing the anger and seeing the other side. Love is about compromises and giving. It is about giving yourself to another regardless of what they say or do.  A famous saying is to make love and not war. People may see this saying as being sexual instead of going to war and killing people. I see it differently. I like to take this saying apart just a bit. Making love for me means using love as a…

“What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.” It’s a wonderful life One thing I know about love is that it can make people open up and want to give the person they love the world. This saying shows exactly how when a person loves another how much they are willing to do for the other. When you love a person, you want them happy. You want to be the reason they are happy.  I use this concept in my writing too. In my opinion, the journey that two people go through to get to…

“Love is a gift of one’s inner most soul to another so both can be whole.” Buddha I like this quote because it is how I see love. The love we share with others is a gift from us to them. And the love that is between two people is the most precious gift a person can give to another. So why do we give our most precious gifts away so freely? Because it is in us to give to others. It is why we can get hurt so easily because our love is meant to share with others. So I say don’t fear being hurt because when you love,…

In the world we live in today, people are always busy. People are rushing to work, trying to get things done, and the to-do list never seems to end. I see people are always busy doing this or that, and they forget to make time for love. Whether you are in a relationship, married, or trying to find someone, making time for that special person or person to be is important.  Time is all we have on earth. It is the most costly thing, yet we use it up so freely and not necessarily properly. Time passes, and we tend to forget that this is the one commodity we cannot…

“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land In life, we all want to be happy. But one thing that I find when it comes down to love is that often we are happy when our loved one is happy. This does not mean we cannot be happy when alone. I find that happiness is always tied to our perception of life. But when we are in love with that person and making them happy can bring us joy, extreme joy. Just think of how a mother who loves her kids will be happy…

We all know the saying that love is blind, but what about the reverse direction. And we go into love being blind? Can two people meet and fall in love without seeing each other? Some people may say it can happen, others say it cannot, and some may say it can start as love and end up having problems and ending. So what is the reality in this? So many now are meeting online, so many do not see each other sometimes for years. And what about the old fashion way of not seeing your bride or groom until the day of marriage? Arranged marriages may be seen as old…

“Some love stories aren’t epic novels. Some are short stories, but that doesn’t make them any less filled with love. Sex and the City I love this quote because it rings very accurately. Some stories are short, some are long, but what makes a love story great is not the length but that it is a personal story. Everyone has a love story, and it has meaning behind it. Even if it is a simple story of you met online or met through friends, it is still a great story because it is all about how two people come together in love and find each other. No one should be…
