Also, personally I had dealt with anise disclosures at work recently and seh talks too much about her personal abuse instead of making this an academic text.

““We all long for loving community. It enhances life’s joy. But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as means of escape.”

I realize I am fearful and gatekeepy when it comes to loving.
Bell Hooks is such a thoughtful writer, I often got lost and had to double back. There is so much information and i do wish the flow was a little more conversational, though I’m unsure how effective that would be. The narrative is also pretty gendered & there’s a religious undertone, so take with that what you will. I did love this book regardless.
