Own your power. True love isn’t something you chase; it’s something you embody. It flows from within, limitless and unshaken by external validation. The journey to self-awareness isn’t about finding love; it’s about realizing you ARE love.

You will face challenges, moments where the world tests your ability to stay open. But love is not a currency to be traded…it is a gift to be given without fear. Move beyond logic and into deep intuition, where real connection thrives. You don’t conform to society’s expectations; you rise above them while navigating them with grace.

Understand this…there is no separation. No ‘them,’ only ‘us.’ And at the core, only you. When you recognize that all souls are intertwined, compassion becomes second nature. Your heart will expand, contract, break, and heal, but even in pain, there is wisdom. Even in the shadows, there is grace.

Strength isn’t about shutting down; it’s about staying open. When life feels unbearable, shift your perception instead of building walls. Never exile anyone from your heart, even when you stand your ground. Their actions are their responsibility; your response is yours. Stand firm, stand tall…but always stand in love.

For most of my life I've felt uncomfortable using the word love.

As a man, it felt feminine & was often used as a tool of manipulation. It felt safer just to avoid the word entirely.

It wasn't until I was exposed to the concept of unconditional love (Agape) did it all start making sense.

The ancient Greeks had 7 or 8 words that were all translated into love in English. Here's the 4 relevant ones:

I think this is the same for a lot of men. It is only relatively recently where I have started using the word love outside of a romantic or family context. I am still fairly selective as to when I will use it as I know a lot of people will misinterpret the meaning.

The English language can be quite constricting at times. The ancient Greeks seem to have understood the subtleties.

Thanks for sharing 💜

I was often used as a tool of manipulation also. I feel you. But there was a time after going through major experience, a switch happened inside of me. We are not supposed to avoid the world nor love, that is simply giving the power to the manipulater. If we keep on that mind set, they go on, severing our energy, from affar. Unconditional love is the answer and the purpose.🫂
