At the beginning of this year, I told myself that I wanted to write at least one blog post a month. Just a fun goal I made to combine my loves of film photography and writing.
But lately I’ve been feeling exhausted. Because blogging is also my day job, it can easily feel less like a creative outlet and more like another thing to do. Don’t get me wrong, I still love writing and practice it daily in the form of journaling. But polished writing…edited writing…that’s the stuff that feels harder to access.
But the other day I wrote something that I just simply had to put out into the world. So for today’s post there’s no story, no planned out dialog. Just a few thoughts on love.
love puzzles me
on one hand, it has a universal meaning
on another, it’s scope cannot be defined or even understood
some say love is a feeling
others say it’s an action
some say it’s a choice
others still that we do not choose who we love
love takes different forms
arrives with different intensities
and can linger long after something is gone
it’s a word that encompasses a host of concepts
and is tangled with many meanings
yet always simplified to the same four letters
l-o-v-e
i still don’t know what to think of love
except that maybe
with all its forms and definitions
love has 8 billion meanings

And, because it’s basically summertime (aka my favorite time of year), here are a few beach day film photos from Malibu, CA.
Here’s to experiencing more nights like this one!
