The Myth of Love & Pain
Love & Pain
they seem to go together.
in fact
we often assume
that they are a team.
we keep our hearts closed tightly
in fear of the pain
denying ourselves the love that we NEED
need like air
like water
because we are afraid that Love
will bring its tag along> Pain.
i see this in many people
who have endured great pain
pain that they thought came
because they loved.
we blame the pain on Love.
damn you, Love
if it wasn’t for you
i’d be fine.
just because Pain appeared to come along with Love
doesn’t mean it was caused by it.
what if
we instead
started believing
that the 2 have no connection
WHAT.SO.EVER!
in fact
they are TOTALLY UNRELATED!!
if you could shift your belief
your perspective
to one of>
Love. Pain. no connection.
imagine what you could open to?!
would you dive IN to your feelings for that person?
would you dive IN to your life?
your work?
your superpower?
how would you feel if you kept your heart open?
give it a shot.
we have all had pain that we think was a result of Love.
look at the experiences from a different angle.
come in from the side.
they do not travel on the same beam.
they are separate.
of course we experience pain.
just start considering
that it may not be because we Loved.
Love is Love is Love is Love.
rose is a rose is a rose is a rose…..
what do YOU see?
