Love.
How do you define love?
Self-love?
To love another being?
Contradicting love?
Does love have boundaries?
Does love have rules?
Does love have requirements?
What do YOU know about... love?

Let me tell you about different types of love.
Now here we meet the beautiful, wonderful, contradicting love.

Contradicting love.
I’m different.
He’s different.
We. Are. A. Contradicting love.

Contradicting love.
Oh how I adore you.
Such a resplendent sight when I explore you.
Oh. Contradicting. Love.

But how do I find this profound thing called love?
Love comes to those who do not focus on it.
Those of carelessness.
Carefree souls.

Carefree souls drift in the wind.
Carefree souls have no end.
Carefree souls have mates too.
Just like Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Not your typical love story.
Nowhere close to a Valentine expository.
Only of how odds are stacked against
Two. Carefree. Souls.

Boy meets girl.
Girl meets boy.
From the first moment,
They knew this was not anything to destroy.

Mom disapproves?
Dad disagrees?
But why does it matter,
When two souls are carefree?

So what about the greatest of them all?
Self-love.

What is self-love?
Self-love is to care for and take care of your home.
Not your resident home.
Your body, mind, and spirit.

How does one achieve self-love?
Self-love is the hardest love to attain.

To look beyond your flaws
To look beyond your insecurities
To look beyond the words of others
To define and embrace what is yours
Take ownership of your home
Take ownership of you.
That is. The beauty of. Self. Love.

Contradicting love
Carefree love
Self-love

The greatest achievement you can ever have
Is to accomplish the task of love
Love another being, despite your differences
Add love to your heart and subtract all of your cares.
And love your self despite the opinions of others.
