I've been thinking a lot about what it takes to love fully, without fear, knowing that it's not going to last. Love to hear your thoughts on risking it all for love—whether for a person, a dream, or something you believed in.
I thought I could handle it - going all in and having it not last. My situation is having come out as a lesbian late in life, meeting a woman who swept me off my feet, and succumbing to the classic lesbian stereotype of rapidly progressing relationships. She reversed course and we are no longer together. It crushed me and healing has been slow, much slower than in my hetero relationships. I am choosing to believe my heart is intact, not broken, but roughed up, stunned, badly bruised. It hurts and still exquisitely on some days. I’m finding my way in this new world of mine. And when I have recovered sufficiently, I will allow myself to be vulnerable again because closed off and defensive just won’t work for me.
Self love is the most important. When you love yourself right, work on the relationship with yourself, then the right one appears. You feel better, you attract better. It is all about manifestation.
Beautiful piece Evan. Especially love this: ‘that feeling of being deeply intertwined with something bigger than yourself is worth every ounce of uncertainty.’ Every. Ounce. Of. Uncertainty. Powerful how such light words can convey carrying such immense weight.
Why do you think love has to end? Love is eternal, it's all around us and inside of us, it goes nowhere, just because that person left doesn't mean that love has to end. It stays with you, all you have to do is look inside of you.

Definitely puts out a very specific type of energy doesn't it?
It sure does

It may not last in the ways we want or can physically see or touch, but it lasts. It always lasts. 🙏🏻
