Van Lathan On the Lessons of Solitude
In my constant growth and discovery, I have learned that love is truly connected on ALL LAYERS. The relationship yoIn my constant growth and discovery, I have learned that love is connected on ALL LAYERS. The relationship you have with yourself, directly correlates to the relationship you have with others, and the relationship with others directly impacts how you show up in the world. It felt only right to talk to my friend MAJOR on this topic, seeing as as far as I have known him I have only experienced him through love + he is a newlywed which means how he shows up in the world is expanding more and more everyday. It was a good call to say the least because this conversation was beautiful. In this episode, MAJOR. and I connect the dots by talking through the layers of love! Self-love, romantic-love, platonic love, and love for fellow humans. We talk about the intermixing and ways that each layer blends together and the necessary steps to stay connected to showing up in love throughout tough stages in life. Also, MAJOR. definitely hit me with a beautiful question at the end so make sure to stay tuned to that ;)
AND I know I already highlighted a quote from MAJOR but y’all….I had to mention something else he said that stopped the room.
“THAT’S WHAT GOD DOES. HE MAKES CERTAIN THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED, WHEN YOU SHOW UP FOR OTHERS. THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS.”
With that said, I hope this convo brings you love and inspires you right where you are xo. TAP IN -- and leave your comments below.
