All of us experience lovelessness at some point – whether it be the general absence of love in our lives, a lack of love from a partner, a parent or a friend, or even within ourselves. It is very hard and nearly impossible to live a life devoid of love.

Some of us struggle so deeply with being loved and loving that this struggle transcends onto other aspects of our lives. It does not only trouble our exterior relationships but it also troubles our inner relationship with ourselves.

Many of us when we talk about love – we talk of it with shame and embarrassment. We are more likely to talk, to write, to represent the absence and the lack of love than of its presence. Consequently, we are led to believe that that’s how it should be.
