Love and Relationships
As the love month comes to an end I feel compelled to write
on the topic
I purposely avoided it on Valentine’s Day
I find
that to be one of the more ridiculous, commercialized and completely
inappropriate holidays….
I may not believe in the concept of Valentine’s Day but I believe in Love and Healthy Relationships
I have been single on and off for the last two years
I have learned
some very valuable lessons about love and relationships by experiencing the best and worst....
Here is what I have come up with over the past two years....
A relationship with another person
does not need to be difficult; with the right person it can be more joy than
pain, more happiness than sadness, more bright than dark
Desperately seeking love only ends
in disaster
Love is in life....with or without a "partner"
It is so okay to be alone
Being alone does not make you
unworthy, unlovable, or invaluable
Being with the wrong person is more
lonely than being alone
Love is born from spirituality
The idea of being in ANY or wrong
relationship “just so you have someone” is insane thinking
Fear and Love……….NOT the same……….shouldn’t
be used in the same sentence……(afraid to be alone, afraid to grow old alone,
afraid to be financial insecure….Oh my….think about this)
If you don’t love yourself,
appreciate yourself……you will never be capable of being in the kind of
relationship that you deserve……..one that is kind, compassionate, equal and awesome……you
will always be chasing something that isn’t out there….something that is internal in you...
Love yourself…
Love your God....
Love your Friends and Neighbors...
Love your Family....
And you will never be alone……….
