"We know the answer has always been love. The question is how do we stop forgetting the answer so we can get on with living our highest, most radically unapologetic lives."
–Sonya Renee Taylor
Sometimes I forget the answer is love when I get angry about the lack of love I see in the world.
Sometimes I forget the answer is love when I see people treating other people without love.
Sometimes I forget the answer is love when I don't treat the people I love with the love they deserve.
Sometimes I forget the answer is love when I choose to communicate with snark or dismissiveness or indifference or aggression.
We forget that the answer is love because we mistakenly believe that choosing love means we can't also choose justice and accountability and integrity and equity.
We forget that the answer is love because we mistakenly believe that choosing love implies weakness, naïveté, or shortsightedness.
We sometimes forget that true compassion and empathy and connection and trust and connection are all based in love.
Self-love. Love of others. Love of humanity.
Love is foundational to our existence, to our sustenance, to our growth, to our future.
Love is foundational to living our highest, most radically unapologetic lives.
Which is something I think we can all agree to love.
