Once while getting a tarot reading, the older woman who had been reading one’s tarot cards had asked “What is Love to you?” A thousand possible answers that could of made sense. But truthfully, one responding with a confused but silent response, “One is not a 100% certain.” Trying for a second time to atleast come up with a respected response. Finally saying “Love is when one does something thoughtful for someone.” Being quite young and naïve, slightingly forgetting the previous question that was asked. The women who was reading the tarots popped her head up and said “I am sorry, sweet girl but that is not love, but it seems to me. You need to discover those answers of the love within.” She then after expressed “To have for another, one must have for themselves first and foremost.” For years, one searching high and low to discover the right answer to her question. Truthfully, speaking there’s no right or wrong answer, but to acquire such information. One had to learn what love was for themselves, also learning that self love is one of the most purest of loves. While making self discoveries, one developed the love within. To be able to make a educated realization that without learning the ability to love oneself first. That they would never be able to sustain any healthy relationship with another. For the love they desire to be made in their own tales of love that requires the other party to make. One having that wholesome spark attracting one to another.

A hate in a sense, may it be previous scenarios that may have turned the heart, a dark black and cold practically frozen to the very touch. Bittered to all love related things. Disguised their hearts to be a endless dark, hole filled with the emptiness of lost love.
