The older I get, the more I grow to deeply admire every person who loves well.

There is a cure for nearly every way that a person can be broken, and that is to be completely, truly, abundantly, unconditionally loved.

If you’ve gotten that from anyone at all, at any age, you’re a lucky one and I’m deeply happy that you carry that love with you through life. ✨

If you’re one of those lovers – love of any kind, that is – thank you for being you, and for making lives, and the world warmer, wider, lighter and more robust.

To loving better. 🥂🧡

Beautifully said. In his travels to discover what allowed some people to stay connected to their hearts, their optimism and empathy, even though they had been through deep trauma versus those who became bitter and resentful and disconnected from trauma, Marshall Rosenberg (founder of the Nonviolent Communication model) and found it was the ones who had had someone be there for them unconditionally at some point in their early years who were able to stay connected , regardless of what they later went through in life

💯. That book changed the course of my life. 🙏🏻

100% this

I have been one of the lucky ones having grown up with absent parents. I've learned that to be able to show this kind of love to others, you'd have to experience it and also love yourself the same way.

Absolutely. It’s hard to even conceive of until someone gives it to you. 🫂🫂🫂🧡

It truly is. The most powerful. 🧡

Without love, none of us would be here.

I talk of this often about my wife. I’ve spent a good portion of my life trying to marry every woman I ever dated…and then running from them (myself) thinking I know what’s best or that I know what love is for me. A strict list of rules to be followed that equaled to zero results. Loneliness, and a broken feeling of maybe it will just always be this way. So, I pray for enlightenment on the matter and even willing to tear the list of rules up. Along comes my future wife. Fun on the surface (like most) and a bit out there but hey, we will hang and I’ll prob move on quick enough…run. Yes, in fact, run fast. In praying, I’d ask for a sign…the running part was then revealed to me…so I did the opposite I turned back to her and looked beyond my

list of rules. I saw a woman that doesn’t have a hateful heart…damn! I almost missed that. And so I just took her for that and in time started to fall for her. Lo and behold, she showers me with unconditional love. That wasn’t even on my list. Well, well, well….God loves us unconditionally. It was what I was praying for all along and I never knew I needed it.

So put that one on your list…it went to the top of mine. Sometimes I feel guilty because I’m not sure this “list guy” can return it in equal fashion…but I’m damn well trying to be better for her. Meanwhile, she just keeps loving me for who I am. I’m not even sure she understands the gravity of her superpower…LOL.
