sigh

“Dear Human: You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up. Often. You didn’t come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering. But unconditional love? Stop telling that story. Love, in truth, doesn’t need ANY other adjectives. It doesn’t require modifiers. It doesn’t require the condition of perfection. It only asks that you show up. And do your best. That you stay present and feel fully. That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU. It’s enough. It’s Plenty.” — Courtney A. Walsh

  1. It would be of interest to learn where your own personal idea of love came from. Love is not changing yourself for someone. Love is not
    trying to change someone else. Love is not accusing nor does love feel the need to deceive and betray.


    Love is not easy to define... and maybe love is all the aforementioned. in any case I have never gotten it perfect.

    And I am convinced that you can never truly love anything and hold an expectation that you will never cause hurt.

    You know that saying you always hurt the one you love... well it works both ways.
