Title: Love Letter: Going Against Society's Expectations As a society, we often put love in a box with certain expectations. We believe that love should come with age restrictions, societal norms, and certain guidelines. But what happens when we break free from these constraints and follow our hearts? This is the theme of our Love Letter this week. It's not easy to go against society's expectations, especially when it comes to love. But it's worth it. As I read the Love Letter, "Not Part of the Plan," published on May 27, 2023, it reminded me of this. The new article on NYT Style chronicles the journey of a woman who breaks free from societal norms to fall in love with a younger man. It's beautiful to see that love can transcend societal expectations, age, and all the other constraints we impose on it. When you find someone who loves and accepts you for who you are, the age difference or societal expectations become irrelevant. What matters most is the connection between two people. Many people in our society are quick to judge and condemn relationships that fall outside the norm. However, we can all learn a lesson from the brave souls who go against this convention. Love knows no boundaries, and it's not something we can control. We should give ourselves permission to follow our hearts and break free from society's expectations. In conclusion, we hope that this Love Letter inspires you to follow your heart and not be hindered by societal constraints. Remember that true love has no barriers and follows no rules. Love is life's greatest adventure, and we should all be brave enough to embrace it, no matter where it leads us. "That's why I picked a younger man; he wouldn't do to me what your father did."
