Welcome to Write Away!
The writing forum for Project Read learners.

We've redesigned our blog so that adult learners working at Project Read can share what they have written with other learners, tutors, and the public. There are a few simple guidelines to be aware of.
  1. This is a moderated site, so submissions and comments will first be reviewed before being approved and published.
  2. Adult learners submitting their writing have the option of using their first name (only) or using "anonymous" for authorship.
  3. We wish to honor the writing efforts of the adult learner/authors, so no major copy editing will be applied, but we may suggest minor corrections in consultation with the author.
  4. Only active Project Read learners are eligible to submit their writing to the Write Away blog and there are two ways of doing this: send submissions via email to projectread@sfpl.org, or stop by the office with a hard copy of your writing.
  5. The views and opinions expressed on this web site are solely those of the original authors and contributors. These views and opinions do not represent those of the San Francisco Public Library and/or the City and County of San Francisco.

Break Silence #9: Love Languages


Did you know that our love language is learned or created as a child? Even as a baby. The way you were nurtured, or not, has so much to do with how you share and communicate love. I’ve always had a difficult time understanding and differentiating between being in love, being told I was loved, and making love. The “touch” language is even more confusing because of childhood sexual abuse. We must Break Silence to love languages. A curriculum of some sort should be taught in schools. Our love language affects why and how we manage our love and family relationships, from healthy to unhealthy. Understanding our own truth can eliminate dysfunctional relationships: Less Baby Daddy and Baby Mama Drama!

We must Break Silence and take time to learn our love language to empower healthy and happy families. Suggested reading: The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman – check it out at the SF Public Library today!
