Apparently, the dreemer of the year challenge post for this week is titled Share Your Love. Just another hurdle for me to jump to save my crown from the tyrant .
To be honest, when I first saw this post I was confused. What is my love? What makes my heart tick?
My first thought was music.

The melodies and lyrics😩, I thought this was it...
Although there are times when I get tired of music due to the same melodies.
Is it love when you get tired of some of your beloved qualities?
My thought process then went to another love of mine, movies.

This was a pretty simplistic love. If it was good, it was loved, but then it wasn't true love cause what if it wasn't good?
Isn't a true love one that you like both the good and the bad?
Hence I was still searching...
Then I went to my oldest love, Reading.
A good book could really open your mind. The concept of reading is one that has carried me through the good and the bad. It's one that has improved me in more ways than I could count.
Then I realized...
Maybe my love isn't one of these three, neither is it none of them. What if my true love is a part of these three great aspects of my life?
It all makes sense now...
My intriguing love for music isn't because of the melodies, but rather isn't because of the stories they tell. The stories that the artist manages to pack into a 3 minute track, that's what I love most in a music and it's what greatly influenced my taste in artists.
My fascinating love for movies, is because I get to watch stories being told. It makes me see characters of stories being portrayed in real life. I guess for me it's just so inspiring seeing characters you read in books, moving on a screen.
My love for reading being the father of all loves is really one of the best. I believe almost all readers have been lost in a good book before. A story that brings wonder and love into your lives...
This particular love birthed a newly found love though;
Never would I've thought I would have been a passable writer, one that could bring the same wonder and joy I felt from the books I read to other readers. One that could write stories that can influence someone somewhere.
This is what made me recognize my love as;

What do I hope to do with this love?
It's simple, share.
For what is love if it isn't shared 💕
Sharing my stories in the and #scholarandscribes community has been such a blast. I hope to write more stories, listen to more music, watch more movies and read more songs.
Then for the younger generation, I would highly recommend good stories to them in whatever form they want it..
For what are stories, without being told♥️✨.
