Love's Intricate Dance: A Journey Beyond Romance
What if everything you thought you knew about love was just scratching the surface? Natasha Lunn's exploration began with a simple realization-despite love's central role in our lives, most of us never properly study it. For years, I mistook longing for love itself, chasing text messages and meaningful glances while missing the love already present in my life. This restless yearning didn't vanish with marriage but shifted focus-after miscarriage, I longed for a baby with the same intensity I'd once directed toward romantic partners. Through conversations with therapists, writers, and philosophers, I discovered we typically ask just three questions about love: How do we find it? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it? As bell hooks wisely noted, we need good definitions of love as our starting point. Love isn't trivial-it determines life's course, with its presence healing us and its absence causing profound damage.
