  • Happy 10th Birthday Erosophia!

    by Jason Stotts I really can’t believe that it’s been 10 years since I started blogging! Blogging is interesting.  I never set out to be a blogger.  In fact, I only started writing a blog on a lark.  Then, I just sort of kept writing and at some point things got interesting.  Somewhere along the…

  • Mature Love

    by Jason Stotts I saw this series of illustrations earlier and I think it makes a very powerful point: mature love isn’t desperate, mature love is creating a life together through little moments and many choices.

With most of the quotes, I already had references, since they came from my own research. However, there were…
