“Author Asli Erdogan writes, “It had been explained to me from my earliest childhood that I would know love—or that thing called ‘love’—as long as I was smart and academically brilliant. But no one ever taught me how to get that knowledge.” I’m sorry to say that what was true for her has been true for most of us: No one has ever showed us how to find and create and cultivate love. We may have received haphazard clues now and then from our parents and books and movies. But we never got a single day of formal instruction in school about the subject that is at the heart of our quest to live meaningful lives.

My favourite therapist says most of us learn what love is not, rather than what love is. Surely our parents did the best the could, as did their parents and the parents before them. Perhaps “helicopter parenting” has something to do with this experience? Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
