A lot of negativity, confusion, and pain can be avoided if we examine our relationship with Love...
❤️
How and where we learned it. How we define it. How we received it from our parents or didn’t. How we allow it or reject it. How we express it or suppress it. How we adjust our relationship with it over time.
❤️
Some spend their lives trying to recreate a version of Love that was unhealthy or unrealistic, thus reinforcing Love as painful or unattainable. Yet, Love is inherent in everything.
❤️
Each new relationship is an opportunity to unearth our misconceptions of and remove our barriers to Love. But I’m a romantic optimist, so what do I know? 😏 #bornebackceaselessly
