True love unearths what remains to be examined in one’s life. The baggage, the constructs, the coping mechanisms—all those behaviors that long to be released. So true love is a powerful experience but fasten your seatbelt as your beloved becomes a mirror for your self examination.
This is so spot on! Love is meant to transform us and face ourselves deeply which is no easy feat! Yet absolutely worth it! Thank you for your wise words. ✨❤️
Beautiful post Hege, this part really caught my attention and got to me!
'True love is not like that. It’s not something you get over. It’s something you hold in your heart forever. Because once you truly love someone, that’s not something that ever disappears if it was true love in the first place. You will always love that person and wish for their happiness, health and for all their dreams to come true. You’re not ‘in love’ with them, but the ‘love’ remains. That’s what true love is. Wishing happiness for the other and sending good energy their way when they cross your mind from time to time, even if they’re not a part of your life anymore. There won’t be many people who touch our hearts in such a way that we love them in this way. Yet once we do, it never fades.'
Hege, I understood the distinction between loving and being in love when I started working with Buddhist Nunneries in remote hilly regions in India. Today, my heart is filled with love and gratitude for everyone and it is selfless and natural with no expectation of receiving anything in lieu of it.
Your piece on Love captivated me. Beautifully written with exquisite explanation. I too was taken by paragraph highlighted by Stefano. Indeed, there is much within your piece to make one evaluate and examine one's own view, belief systems and understanding of 'True Love'
A thoroughly thought provoking and enjoyable read.
Thank you so much for your words Mike. I agree this is unfortunately the exception not the norm which is why true love is so rare. Hopefully that can change as people evolve 💛✨
