EVERYTHING RHYMES WITH LOVE

Let me digress before I even get started. I thought about whether, at the beginning of every post, I want to start out with a greeting or not, but then I thought, maybe not. It’s still something that I’m contemplating, though.

Anyway, on to what I have to say, the thought that I’m trying to get out. I was talking to a friend recently, and he was talking about how he would want to relive a moment from the past.

And I thought about it, that is so true, that there are moments of joy, peace, or excitement that we think about from time to time and would think, oh, if I can just go back to that day and relive that moment one more time.

Although it’s not a feeling that I get often, the most relatable thing I can associate that feeling with is whenever I watch a really, really great movie, and I’ll be like, “Oh, I wish I could erase my memory and go back to that scene again”, just to have that feeling, that beautiful moment, go through all that emotional rollercoaster again.

I asked him what moments he would like to relive, and one way or the other, the conversation ended up with us talking about love; he would want to experience a moment with someone again.

Me, personally, I am a sucker for love. I just believe that love is one of the greatest things on earth, both romantic and platonic love. It just made me think to start this series.

I already had the title of this series written down somewhere else. Initially, I wrote that name down for a novel that I intend to write. But there’s nothing that stops me from doing this, and then still writing a book in that line as well. That is how I landed with “Everything Rhymes With Love.” And I think I want to make it a series because I want to talk about my journey in the love zone.

Not that I have a lot to talk about. I just want to talk about love. That’s one thing I am always excited to talk about, all shapes of it. I want to talk about the romantic one, my love for God, my friends and family, my love for things, and everything encompassing.

So yes, “Everything Rhymes With Love,” and there’s nothing anyone can say that would make me think otherwise.

I spent the last 9 paragraphs introducing the series, and my mind is working overtime on where to even start from. I guess I would start with my first love story. So look out for the first part of the series.

And as you make your way through the week, remember to spread nothing but love and keep reaching for the stars…

With love,
