Gif's ArtidoteApr 16

in anticipation of my weekly podcast, here's the article i published in 2020 i will read & discuss this week called #DefiningLove

it's about what the concept of love means after growing up in a dysfunctional family where none of the adults have experience of a healthy family dynamic to show children how it's done.

defining love

As a severely emotionally damaged person, it is hard to get my head around the concept of love. I only know dysfunctional love, which in my book is no love at all. When I was thinking about this I could come up with two essential ingredients; trust and equal distribution of power.

🚨 ADOPTION UPDATE:

The US visa experience in the Dominican Republic is truly something else. First, it’s centralized, so everyone in the country who wants a USA visa has to come here to this one building, and understandably that makes the scene quite a busy one.
