Between what is said and not meant,
what is meant and not said,
Most of love is lost.

-- Khalil Gibran

I'm reading Americanah now, and this is another wonderful, wonderful story
that is equally a study of human culture, and humanity, and connection --

Obinze and Ifemelu -- goodness, they feel so real.
It's so real, I think, the situation of having lost someone
because of 'circumstances'. Almost common.
what is meant and not said.



I can't help but connect it to BTS's latest song release, Fake Love.

If you can't love yourself, you can't be yourself;
and when you are not yourself, it's fake
-- and love will not last.

The whole music video depicts how all the fake personas
eventually suffer, break, and shatter; they cannot be sustained.



  If you're untrue to yourself, the love won't last. ~ RM
