To Know Love Is to Love Love ❤️

I want you to know that love isn’t something you should know already. You will never in a million years hear me utter the words "you just gotta…"

True Love may be simple, but it’s rarely “just” that easy. I know all too well, that when you’re starting from a place of shame and self-loathing, or even just feeling numb all the time…

Love is anything but easy or intuitive.

Love isn’t anything you ever learned about in school.

And love definitely isn’t anything you’ve absorbed in the polluted air of our narcissistic and materialistic consumer culture.

But I can promise you that love isn’t anything abstract or woo-woo, either. Love is real, it’s powerful, and it's available to everyone.

In other words… Love is for you. That’s right: Love is FOR you — no matter who you are, where you came from, or what you’ve done.

Sure, love can be a feeling, like the way it’s depicted in romance novels or feel-good movies. But let’s not stop there. Love is so, SO much more than that.

Love is action.

Love is an attitude.

Love is an identity.

Love is an experience.

Love is a stance towards life.

And, especially when it comes to therapy… Love is a process.

So let me ask you: is love your way of life, right now?

If it is, then you already know exactly what I’m talking about. Love is your purpose. Love is your meaning! Love is how you connect to everything and everyone around you. Love is both your means, and your goal. Love is your guiding principle of how to live.

Or maybe you sense that right now, love isn’t any of those things for you. If that’s the case, then you probably know some of the other ways we humans tend to fill our lives with so-called meaning, purpose, and direction.

Alcohol. Drugs. Money. Food. Sex. Power. Control. Drama.

It’s not that any of these other ways of life are “wrong” or “bad.” Let’s face it: we all engage in some of them, some of the time, to a greater or lesser extent. So let’s not judge ourselves, please!

Instead, let’s throw a little love on the situation by simply acknowledging that reality with a shrug, before moving right along.

I mean, I’m assuming you want to move forward. If you do? Please stay with me. ❤️
