Love this! I constantly want to ache for love-- i feel a desire for an event to cause such pain that it overtakes my life. a cut so deep, so penetrating-- i want it! As if it would be a means for my suffering other than myself, haha. this is a great piece.

Needed this and loved this. Literally find myself sucked back into feelings I had gotten over just cause I feel like "feeling a song"??? Ain't that crazy?!!! Is music really made to be relatable and portray universal feelings and help us get through the struggles of life or has it become a weird weapon to trap us into this endless romantic torture and teach us to ENJOY it?????? I love when I read something that explains what's been in my head for so long but never had the words to express it. THANK YOU. I might be down bad for u

ah you've done it once again I love. I have just entered a phase in my life this summer that I am not only decentering romance in my life but the role men play right along with it. I am such a cool girl! all these traits, interests, talents going to waste because I want to sacrifice myself for the sake of being loved when I am a manifestation of love itself. I have much to learn and love is all around me. it took me getting completely dogged out by a man to realize I am better off im so excited for what's to come next. btw my boy only breaks his favorite toys.

Love this! I often feel like I am somewhere between Taylor Swift and the Sprinkle Sprinkle lady. I love love. I love hard. But I have gotten really fucking good at walking away.

When I was still dating it was so life changing to come to the end of a relationship and be sad for a few days but really say no hard feelings! We cut our losses when we should have! It was so freeing and I know it's very hard and very easy for me to say but I can't recommend it enough

Just came back from an amazing trip to visit one of my best friends and celebrate 20 years of friendship. I’ve also done that for romantic love, but the difference is the “also”. I love love. I’ll always will. And I’ve been loved well by men, and I’ve loved them back deeply. I’ve also suffered and long for them, it’s part of the trip. But I don’t want my life to revolve around men, while I’m so interesting and interested. Loved this piece, Valerie. Thank you.

I love this. I needed this. I was finally over someone and after ttpd dropped I started coming back to that awful place of yearning for a past life. I got sucked in again because I wanted to relate to the songs, isn’t that crazy?

thank you Luisa! it’s sometimes impossible to tell if yearning inspires art or if it’s the art that breeds the yearning… you’re so right
