Love’s been twisted, so we struggle || Neem Candies

I had to unlearn a lot of things, and I am grateful to all the sources—the books, the people and the experiences that helped me unlearn. And I am grateful to that within me that had the courage to unlearn.

A lot of unlearning is needed. I often say you need to learn love. By that what I mean is that you need to unlearn false love. And it’s one mighty task to unlearn false love, transactional love, the transactional love that both biology and society teach you.

Society tells you, “Go for the one who has degrees, this, that, money.” Biology tells you, “Go for the one who is likely to be more fertile in the reproductive sense.” You have to unlearn both of these, you have to defeat both of these, and it is then that true love happens.
