Love is gentle.
Is it just me or did I imagine we are in the most developed time of the world so far,
and yet, something as simple as “no means no” still isn’t understood?
Love is not pressuring the other person. It’s not meant to be thrill seeking.
It’s not edgy, treacherous, and dark. It’s never, ever,
EVER laying a hand on another person in a manner of assault.
You do not get to hurt someone physically and then tell them you love them.
You don’t get the honor of saying the word love.
If you don’t accept that love is gentle in words and actions,
you’ll never have the joy of experiencing true love.

Love protects, defends, and speaks out against injustice even when it’s awkward,
even when your voice is alone.
It breaks my heart for the victims as I to hear all the physical/sexual assault allegations
but at the same time, I’m glad these past hurts are coming to light.
The evil that warps “love” cannot live in the light.
Let’s clean out the filth as much as we can,
and not assume this responsibility is on the shoulders of others to do so.

Cheers,
