Love Is 

By Nikki Giovanni


 Some people forget that love is
tucking you in and kissing you
"Good night"
no matter how young or old you are


Some people don't remember that
love is
listening and laughing and asking
questions
no matter what your age


Few recognize that love is
commitment, responsibility
no fun at all
unless


Love is
You and me

Getting started...

I recently read how important it is to WRITE DOWN your thoughts, feelings, goals, and even memories. This is something I’ve really neglected to do for awhile now. I don’t know why; I love to write. I spent the majority of my high school hours writing and writing.

When I think about it, the major difference between now and then is that I am much more content in my daily life. I was miserable in high school, and writing was my only outlet. I didn’t need to remind myself to take some time to write… there was no question that I would be doing so.

I guess I stopped writing when I went away to college, because I no longer felt the absolute need to do so. For the first time in my life, I felt free to express myself in other ways, some healthy, and some not so healthy.

Now that I’m starting to realize the importance of writing, I am making it a personal goal to write a little every day. I’m still growing, evolving, and discovering the person who I am, and I hope that writing will help me in this journey.

I also hope to use this blog as an outlet to my creativity. I truly find delight in the little things in life, and hope to share this with you.
