The desire to be loved lives within us all. To be wanted, accepted, understood.
And how many of us ever find that love? Ever think we are in it until we realize that the one, was just another one.
Have you ever thought maybe we’re looking in the wrong places? The wrong nooks, crannies, and spaces?
Is the love we have been hunting for evading us, or are we simply unable to recognize it?
Waking up from this search for a specific kind of love and realizing, it’s been surrounding you this entire time.
Finding a soul mate in a best friend, till death do you part in a cousin, a life partner in your cat.
Love is abundant, an infinite energy produced by our desire to love, and be loved.
It is everywhere, even in hatred and despair.
But seeing it? Feeling it? Transmuting it? Can you imagine having dominion over love?
Choosing yourself to cherish and adore, and instead of searching for love, you spend your days creating more.
Sending it into the universe and accepting the love you receive from others in return.
Humans are inherently selfish; we whine and complain and beg the stars to send true love our way.
But love is always present, always willing, always existing, whether we choose to see it or not.
Fall out of love with love, out of infatuation with want, and feel it instead.
It is hard to see something when you’re wrapped up in the middle of it, so look with eyes that are not your own.
Look with eyes of joy and acceptance, of empathy and understanding.
See with a full heart, a soul full of imagination.
Follow the invisible threads love has sprouted in you,
and you will see that you are what you have been searching so hard for.
The people who love you always knew, and now, in love, you do too.
