Love Like the Whole World’s Your Valentine

This is our cosmic love letter:

To be alive is to be a world builder.

Freedom feels foreign if you haven’t built it within yourself.

It’s time to break up with love that’s oppressive.

This is LIBERATION as love language.

The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others.
— bell hooks
There is no love without justice. If we remain unable to imagine a world where love can be recognized as a unifying principle that can lead us to seek and use power wisely, then we will remain wedded to a culture of domination that requires us to choose power over love.
— bell hooks
For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: How do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing & yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?
