My Blue Valentine — a book giving at Maison Plage

No. 24 — My Blue Valentine. A book giving at Maison Plage, where we gathered over books, sweets and lychee matcha lattes by Little Match Studio.

As twenty friends and strangers poured over books that shed light on the less idealistic depictions of love, we took turns sharing what kind of love we are pouring into in our personal lives — some focusing on communal love, whether it be our families or even neighbors or strangers, having the curiosity to get to know them and remembering that each person has their own layers and complexities; being open to the idea that we have more than one soulmate and that these soulmates can show up in various ways; some embracing imperfect love, with themselves and others; and prioritizing the love of oneself in order to give love to those around us.
