What Does Love Mean To Me?

What does love mean to me?

Does love begin when you first meet eyes or cross paths?

This question is what brought us together and what we spent the week discovering further and further. The show Almost Maine has a constant “reload” of that question. When we come together as a group we’re searching through the script and what we already have in our minds to reach the objective of love. Every new thought we encounter, we want to research more.

The way we communicate this love through different stories/scenes is what makes it special. Talking through something with another person allows your brain to be open to new ideas and to explore these thoughts you share.

When we communicate with another person, our mind is pondering that question and applying it through each word we say. This week we put what we know about the 9 short stories we are creating to the test by creating ideas to further use in our scenes. We found our way of thinking when it comes to the word love and how that one word affects our character and their whole way of life. Everyone has had an encounter with love. Whether it be “just as a friend” or “love you like a brother”. What I have learned from this past week is that you shouldn’t be able to label your love. Words are just words, actions speak louder. The comfort and instant happiness you receive when you see a person is all you need.
