human | i used to think “we found love” was simply about finding love in a club.
the older i get the more differently i hear it.
maybe that was the intention of the song in one sense but now “we found love in a hopeless place” feels like something much bigger to me…it feels like a statement about being alive in the world as it is.
everything has more than one side and it’s difficult to unprogram yourself from black-and-white thinking..especially when so much of the world can genuinely feel hopeless..but maybe hopelessness and beauty aren’t mutually exclusive.
maybe learning to see the shades between black and white is what allows us to recognize that love, connection, beauty, and meaning can exist alongside everything that is painful or broken.
so now when i hear this song, it doesn’t just make me happy…it makes me more appreciative of the world around me that I have struggled for so long to accept…not because i suddenly believe the world is perfect but because i’m learning that something doesn’t have to be perfect for something beautiful to exist within it.
music reminds me that we are here as creators..to create for the creator. maybe creation itself is part of our purpose..making something meaningful from what we’ve been given and if that’s true then even in a place that sometimes feels hopeless, love can still be found.
we don’t have to deny the darkness..we just have to remain capable of creating something inside it.
easy to preach, difficult to remember, harder to practice..but when you here this song I hope you remember 🤍
