Last night my heart felt a small crack of old brokenness. I allowed for it. I was deeply hurt by a loved one who continues to love me in her own manner but I expect her to love me differently. After a few hours I let it go. After release of tears I forgave my own heart for desiring things to be differently.
She loves me the way she knows how to love. It’s demoralizing and unacceptable for me to expect her love as I love. It’s also not fair to her for me to expect anything. It’s my shit. Not hers.
So I truly let go of the expectation of what love should look like. From children. From family. From friends. From my mate. I love as I love. That’s it. To expect otherwise is egotistical and irresponsible. That’s a personality and labeling that does me no justice.
Love because that’s your job. And let go because that’s also your job.
Love you!

Again spot on. I learned this lesson a few years ago the hard way. My feelings were hurt because of how someone was loving me. I had to back up and look at myself not them. I too discovered that I had expectations of how this person was to love me. I began to forgive myself, them and let go. I then decided how fiercely I would love others and that loving was a gift and a blessing.
And you love in such a way that it is contagious. Sending love your way. Thank you for sharing. I love when people do.
Wise words and deeds often jar with our ego. Sending you {{{HUGS}}} and love ❤️💛💖💚🧡💜💙
