Love is a concept that cannot be demeaned or diminished by rationalisation or scientific explanation. A life lived with love is a life lived wholly and unabashedly. Holding love in your heart, for yourself, for others, and for the world is both as traditional and as radical a concept as can be thought of. We here at PGL are big lovers of love. You could even say that love is our one true love. We love love. Sometimes it can be encapsulated in a simple sentiment or action, a glance, a touch, or a clichéd one-liner in a film. We don't give a flying where you find love, or what inspires you to share love with others; just that you feel it. Listening to a love song, watching a film, lying next to your dreamlove at night, feeling the muggy warmth of spring, looking at a photo of someone you've never even met. We feel that open, true, heart-wrenching love is a notion that can be taboo, and we don't like it. If you want to tell your boyf, GF, friend, or your pet sausage dog that you love them and they make you happy, and that you wish them total unreserved joy, just do it. Who cares that it's not cool, who cares that they might be taken aback or even a little frightened. If you were to die tomorrow and hadn't shared the depth of emotion that you hold inside, it would be a crying shame. So tell people! Feel it. Feel the love for yourself and for your life. Here are a few things that have made us feel the lovin'.
As contributed by all of us at PGL
Watching The Hedgehog.
Watching While You Were Sleeping.

Drinking silly cocktails with my brother.
Looking at photos of me and my girlfriends with years and years of bad hair and outfits.
Eating peanut butter choc pie.
Dancing with a girlfriend like there was nobody else in the room.
Watching the crowd at Iron Maiden feel the love of the good times.
