The problem I had there was, well the obvious - It's not gonna be exactly like that. But, another thing is, I didn't believe I was capable of being in love. It's not that I thought I was undeserving of love, I just thought I was incapable of it.
There's two reasons for that, one. I didn't exactly love myself that much, and two. I didn't understand what it meant to love someone.
In today's day and age, there is a massive misunderstanding of what love is. The type you see in movies is all powerful, a light bulb switching on in their head and background music as they realize "oh my gosh, I've fallen in love". I'm sure it's the case for some people, keyword, SOME PEOPLE. Still, unlikely. Love is entirely misunderstood and misrepresented.
What is love?
Love is the food in your belly; the air in your lungs; the eyes to see the world around you; the ability to be present and mindful today, and recognize the past and future. Love is everywhere.
It sounds super, super cheesy and corny and blahblahblah, i KNOW, but it's entirely true. Love is made up of all the tiny things around you.
The simplest thing in the world is love. You are loved by the universe, if you weren't meant to be here you wouldn't be here. You exist because of love, it's not some super big secret that's being kept away for whatever reason, NO! It's the root of everything!
Duh, this entire thing lacks literally any type of scientific evidence or logical explanation. But love isn't logical. You can't explain it because it defies explanation, but you know exactly what it is.
Because love is everywhere, all you have to do is open yourself up to it to love.
It sounds way too easy, I know. But love is so much easier to find than we tend to realize it. You don't need to look that far or hard to encounter love.
Kindness is love. Empathy is Love. Gratitude is love. All of these are apart of love. They express positivity, high-frequency and high vibrational energy. The higher frequency and vibration of energy, the more positivity and good things you draw to yourself.
Plus, if i believe otherwise and only see the negative in the world, I will energize negativity and find more reasons to feel bad, i'd just be energizing negativity and finding more reasons to feel bad. Why live life that way if I'm given the option?
Find something that makes you feel good, great even. Soak it in, and love it. That's literally all it is. The simplicity of feeling good. Love is comforting, love is calm. It's there for you to experience and to give and to receive without any limit to it.
Love is more and less than what you think it is. Yet, no matter who you are, where you come from, or where you want to go, you are worthy of love. You are deserving of love.
Love is within and without you. It needs not to be complicated, because when all is said and done.. it's you. You are love, despite everything, it's still be you.
