๐ Celebrate Pride in 2025! ๐ At A Thinking Ape, we believe in creating gamesโand a workplaceโwhere everyone feels welcome, seen, and celebrated. Pride is a time to honour the diversity and strength of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and we're proud to stand in solidarity! Whether you're in-game or IRL, we're here to support authenticity, inclusion, and love in all its forms ๐๐๐ฉท๐ In the spirit of Pride, we want to hear what love means to you!

Love, before anything else, must be desinterested. The exact opposite of selfishness, jealousy and possessivity. To love, just because it's the most powerful feeling in the world, even if it's without any hope of being loved in return. As James Barrie so rightly wrote, "even love unreturned has its rainbow". Love is a miracle. Too many people don't seem to be able to truly love, unselfishly. And what means a life spent without having been able to love someone, at least once ? Nothing. For me, I had few crushes but only one true love. It will forever be the most beautiful ray of sunshine in my sky. All the colours of the rainbow, for I'm a one woman's woman. Proudly. To love, just to experiment the unspeakable and sometimes unbearable beauty of this unique emotional pallette of feelings - even the painful emotions. To my soulmate : merci, mon amour. Thank you, my K... Ariane_4ever
