Love captivates us, yet it can also become the bane of our existence. Every type of love draws us in, filling not only our heart but also our mind, body, and soul as we could easily pour too much, too little, or feel overwhelmed when our glass is overfilled.
It is easy to become accustomed to an empty glass when love has never inhabited, and when we do experience love that fills our glass, at times we accidentally drop that glass not understanding that we can be loved, and are deserving of love. When we have lived a life that has lacked an association to the meaning of love we tend to self-sabotage not knowing that love has been a necessity for our soul.
With continued self-sabotage we run into the inevitable issue that the love that we are experiencing could diminish once that person believes that they have over poured their heart into a glass that continues to be dropped, and this is the turning point where we learn to appreciate and value love. This is where we begin to recognize and cherish the value of love, even when it is fleeting. We learn that despite love’s temporary nature, it does not diminish its impact no matter the time frame.
This fleeting love is what becomes the love that we carry with us for a millennia that reminds us of the magnitude and lengths that love can go, that reminds us that we are deserving of love and are capable of being loved.
Ultimately, it is the love we lose that often leaves the most lasting impression. It serves as a reminder of our capacity for connection and the beauty others see within us, even when we struggle to see it ourselves. As we navigate the complexities of love, we come to appreciate its nature as a hidden gift by reminding us of our intrinsic worth.
