If life is not about how to love, then how can meaningfulness exist?

Love between people. That’s all.

Not only the butterfly type of romantic love that causes hearts and trumpets to sound with every footstep on a sunny day, but also love between friends, between partners living together, and wherever love really wants to plant its roots in the hope of growing and sustaining lives and souls throughout the duration of all the summers and winters of life.

The Stranger that Dwells Within, was an attempt at exploring the idea that maybe we live periods of life when we ignore the signs of love. The need to love and give ourselves love and care is forgotten in the rush of passing days.
