What a wonderful feeling it is, Love. And yet we talk so little about love. Days, months, sometimes year pass, and we keep forgetting to talk about love. Those who’ve never loved talk about the lack of it, those who have, talk about their experience, but rarely anyone talks just about love. And that, when everyone has either been in love or wants to be in love.
I understand, it’s difficult. After all, one can only try to place their experience in words, to capture the infinite in the limited, to capture essence through tangible means. That’s why we knit and tell stories. We tell stories to recreate that which cannot be destroyed. We attempt to tap the limitless experience as a series of events. We tell stories so that you too can feel it, live it, and re-live it.
After all, what’s there to life, without love. And what's there to tell, if not love stories.
