and offer what I know as an option,
just as I would present a tray of appetizers for my guests.

for the invitation to share.
It also means being prepared for my friend to say,
"No." They don't want to know.

Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.

and not about seeking happiness for yourself.

is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.

a spiritual being,
is always perfect.
