Writing 101: Day Three – One-Word Inspiration (LOVE)
Today’s Writing 101, here,
“Prompts come in many different forms. Sometimes, a single word is all you need to get your mind’s wheels turning. Here are six words:
TREASURE
REGRET
HOME
LOVE
UNCERTAINTY
SECRETSelect one word in this list that speaks to you in some way. Have you always wanted to write about that wrong decision you made? Are you a long-term traveler looking for the right city to settle? Do you want to write a poem about your relationship?
The beauty of the one-word prompt is that it’s open to interpretation. What do you think of when you hear this word? What do you see? This word is simply the seed for your post: feel free to shape your idea as you see fit.
(If you like these one-word prompts, consider a Prompt Box: an offline well of inspiration that you can draw from on a rainy day. Writer Andrea Badgley keeps prompts on slips of paper in a Chinese tea tin; I use an old jewelry box I once bought from a market in Italy. In whatever vessel you choose, add slips of paper with single words, as we’ve practiced here. Short phrases work well, too.)“
It took me time until I get the inspiration to post this, everything we have either if it’s treasure, regret, uncertainty, secret or home, LOVE will always prevail, if it is missing, I don’t want to imagine it.
A dear friend of mine, had trouble about his relationship with his girlfriend, and the girl approached me for help.
The story goes like this, my friend (guy) and his girlfriend has a little misunderstanding, out of jealousy both is suspicious about each other. Thinking that each party has his/her own third wheel.
I advised that that they need to communicate with each other and laid down in the table that is causing the conflict.
To make the story short, the girl wants to break-up with my friend because she has another man.
We told our friend to get a life, because until now he is still in love with her. Terrible!
Loving someone is a give and take, and it should be given freely to the one that will take care of it. Love doesn’t have to perfect as seen on TV or movie.
Love is a choice, I choose to love simply because I want to give and spread love. How about you?
A song to remind me or you that loving somebody needs to be simple and gentle.

We will take the world in our stride

Love..Ahh…Authentic love is whole, complete and, in essence, beyond suffering. The absence of love is suffering. The illusion of loss leads to suffering. When something dies, you don’t lose it, because you never owned it. We suffer most when we are attached to the illusion. True love does not leave a wound when it is lost, because true love can never be lost. Once created, “it” exists forever within the unity of the Divine sphere. The divine conversation of love is something beyond a mere notion or discussion—it is alive, filled with the budding possibility of a butterfly about to open its wings for the first time.
Thanks for the wonderful post.
Best

I think it will take time for your friend to get over that girl. He invested emotion, time and energy and maybe he thought no one can replace her. Time will heal his wounds, what is important is that you are there for him, listening to him as he is going through the healing process 🙂
Love for me knows no bounds, not just romantic love. You can see that in my post 🙂
I agree, love will always prevail and we are nothing without love. We should give and spread love.
