  1. Ah…trust! The builder of love. An interesting thing, when someone is truly open to you, truly trusting you so that in everything they share with you…you know them completely. Trust in that complete openness…is love. But the instant a wobble is heard or felt…it staggers. The ‘on guard’ of our fears (because of that lack of trust in some way), comes to the fore and a distance begins. We even hide it in so many ways…drugs, booze, avoidance. Shoot, we even work harder to avoid it.

    But, this has great purpose…for each time it happens…you come back closer to the only person you can completely trust…you. This entire journey of relationships does just that, it guides us to that heart of love within us. Even to the point where we ‘know’ we aren’t in a good place…and we don’t want that anymore. So we ask ourselves the age old question…why am I afraid to be hurt…in fact, just why am I afraid.

    Every single relationship turns to dust…because our love isn’t happy, we ever try to find it in someone else…but they trash us. Because our fears want them to act a certain way (expectations), and they just can’t do it. More hurt, more pain, never a cure to be found. Until we dare to ask those questions…why are we afraid, why are we hurting…why. Until we look inside and find its birth. And it is in fact to be found far back in us towards that time.

    Our relationship with those we love and look up to begin that path. They hurt us in our love with them…so we block a horror to us…and carry it ever onward until we dare to go back and see its truth. And on the day we do, in there, in our childhood heart…is a truth. Understand it, and you too will be loved…by you. And in that one moment you will see and understand…exactly what unconditional love is. That ability to love you with nothing in between. No fear, no judgement, no doubts…just you…and a love beyond words.

    It ‘is’ there, I’ve touched it. And carry its scar forever…a smile deep inside me, never to be moved. Find it dear lady, it will call you when you are ready. Don’t ever give up. Let the years wander by, and as it does a much deeper appreciation of just what you do down here becomes a bit more obvious. And that more profound love will touch you too, in that garden you tend within you πŸ€—πŸ₯°πŸ˜€β€οΈπŸ™

      • Thank you kindly Samantha, your words are very appreciated. And just remember, you too give to others in your experiences. You show them the love you have found…and give them courage to take one more step…in the empathy, compassion and love building inside you from all those very hard experiences you have endured. Take a bow my friend, it is a hard path…but its destiny is a beauty beyond words. Thank you πŸ€—πŸ₯°πŸ˜€β€οΈπŸ™
