Note: This post discusses sensitive topics.

Can you undo what has been done?

How do you fit new narratives where there wasn’t space before? Nothing seems to add up, and I’ve never been good with numbers.

Whenever I tried reading “All About Love: New Visions” by bell hooks, I got stuck.

…It was love’s absence that let me know how much love mattered…To this day I cannot remember when that feeling of being loved left me. I just know that one day I was no longer precious…Grief and sadness overwhelmed me. I did not know what I had done wrong. And nothing I tried made it right.

I was gobsmacked. This was just the first. page. Is everything I know about love a lie? And is this saying I don’t know what love is?
