You never really know how much love you have until you need it.
What I mean by that is you may believe you love someone more than life itself only to find out otherwise when you are actually put in a situation forcing you to make the choice. Likewise, you may be undecided about someone only to discover when the time comes that you do take those risks. I have been on both sides of this and it surprised me both times. Love is meaningless without action. Without work, love – like faith – is dead.
The older I get, the more I learn about what true love is and how it differs from selfishness. Many times I thought I had it finally figured out only to learn my love was still not quite perfect. Don’t worry about how much it is that you love someone. Simply love them the best you know how at this moment.
I no longer post here. Please visit http://championofthecosmos.com if you want to read my short stories. This is what I will be focusing on from now on.
In high school, all I ever wanted to do was write a science fiction series. Life got in the way. My job wore me out. Starting a business went nowhere. I had depression. I was distracted by travel, art, and politics. I gave up more than once. Now I am almost ready to start posting. Unable to turn all my hundreds of ideas into novels, I have settled on posting short stories to substack. If all goes according to plan, I will post 42 stories per year for 30 years. This will start on 10/January/2025. Before this, I will post chapters from The Spider, The Witch, And The Spaceship starting on 2/February/2024. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a post. http://championofthecosmos.substack.com
I am starting a newsletter at http://ChartingPossibilities.SubStack.com I will be posting all my adventures, musings, poetry, drawings, and excerpts from my books. I hope to see you there!
Charting Existence is a great name, but I couldn't get the domain name for it. I am also a bit disappointed in how Locals is laid out. I'll still be visiting other groups, but this group will be phased out. SubStack is something I know I'll be able to stick with. I will also be winding down YouTube and Rumble, but I will keep Twitter. Follow me @TheInkdoodler
