Love as a gift

“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, you are showing the world that you can give of yourself to others even with the dangers that it can bring to you. And that is one of the best ways to live. I say live with love and show love to others because that love is meant to be shared, not kept to yourself. 

When I write, I always keep this in mind. I make my characters see the value in love and sharing their lives with others and that special someone. Love can break boundaries. Love can show what is hidden behind a façade. Love can get people to open up. Love grows. Nothing is better than love no matter how it comes or with who, no matter how strong or weak, love is what makes life worth living.
