Oil paiting by Italian artist Ilaria Ratti. Reproduced: @ratsandlilies / Twitter (X) I am really starting to enjoy associating the Love Issue line with pop culture references. Just to be clear, no, it is not on purpose and it is not even the ideal. It just comes to me so naturally that I simply cannot ignore it. But well, putting some thoughts and dreams out there, I really do love writing the Love Issue. To be honest, this is where I feel most confident to just talk and word

I began looking for God when my heart started to declare that now, only the celestial could hear me. When I stopped in the middle of some random forest, and I would look up at the sky and supplicate for something or someone to lift the weight of a pain that seemed to wreak carnage on my bones. I would plead, with eyes brimming with tears: please, let there be something, let there be someone, let there be God.

With so much cultural diversity and different media and products being consumed, does Disney still manage to make the language of love universal?
