On My Mind: Nida Mahmood

The word 'love' can have innumerable connotations. It is the most liberating feeling. It is energy, not a substance. It is essence, not matter. You can't contain it; you can't put it in a box, but you can feel it, taste it, and know it. Its presence is unmistakable. It is exquisite and profound. And when you are in love, nobody, not your best friend, your parents, or even your own mind can talk you out of it.

Love has always meant the same and at the same it is ever changing. We lead complex lives today and when I say the connotation of love is ever-changing, it cannot be truer than it is now. The future of love, is moving us toward the vaulting awareness of who we really are as human beings, something we have managed to avoid.
