Love is not a bat signal 🦇
Love is not a searchlight,
broad-beamed
and directional.
Our heart instead
is a warm bulb
inside a lampshade body.
Come, sit with me
in the glow.
I’ve been feeling deeply emotional about my friendships lately, but simultaneously depleted by my own self-doubt. I wondered—what if instead of a love directed out and away from ourselves, we could center our hearts on loving ourselves in addition to the ones close enough to feel our warmth?
