20 Love Poems and Several Songs of Despair

I’ve been told that I haven't talked about romantic love for a long time and it’s so true that I’m bringing you a podcast on the subject. When I sat down to think about how I would structure this post, I remembered all the love books I've read, all the romantic movies I've seen, and all the melodies about desperate lovers I've hummed. The title alludes to writer Pablo Neruda’s book because I believe that for every twenty love poems that we embody, we go through endless desperate songs. I wish my younger self, the one who went to therapy feeling distraught, the one who cried with so many fears, would have been told, “calm down, you'll see how everything falls into place”. I’m not talking about things falling into place magically, but about doing the right job on oneself, recovering our power, and falling in love with ourselves and with our life to be able to welcome another person later.
