To love and be loved is life’s greatest blessing.
To love fearlessly and to allow yourself to be loved seem easy but it requires tearing down walls of self preservation, removing hurt glasses and seeing the truth in yourself and others.

Growing up love was often predicted as a feeling accompanied with highs, or a fairytale where you meet someone and fall instantly in love and live happily ever after.
Love has been portrayed in so many ways and in so many variants that sometimes we begin to question ourselves if what we have for one another is truly love.

Now I’m no love expert but what I have come to learn is that love is a choice. It’s deciding to choose the people in your life everyday, all the time. It’s making a conscious decision that I shall love. Yes I “feel” love but in times when the feeling is gone it’s the decision that keeps you going.

Experiencing love is one of the most exhilarating feelings, you almost feel like no one can touch you 😆. It creates a barrier around you, a safety hedge if you will.
Love is a powerful force and when one knows one is loved … one walks differently, one talks differently, one even begins to glow differently.

This is why heart breaks are real… when the one you love is no more…
It hurts, it’s agonizing and it takes a long time to heal.
It’s ok to fall apart even when you thought you had it under control. You are not weak. Healing is messy and there is no time line for healing.

So love… love fearlessly, love intentionally, love boldly, love consistently.
For there will come a time when the people you want to love may not be there anymore.

Live each day with the knowledge that everyday is a gift and there is no guarantee for tomorrow. Casting our eyes on what is unseen for what it seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal.

May this new month be kind to us, may it bring forth goodness, may it bring forth healing.
