Love with all my heart

I was told that I care too much about people and that I let there lives invade mine. Alternatively, when I love I tend to love whole heartedly. When I care about a person, I genuinely want to see them happy…so if I can do something I will try to. I have loved with all my heart, but I have hurt because of it. I understand being told why maybe I shouldn’t care so much, but then I ignore the reasons behind it. Because I would rather love with all my heart and allow the person to touch my soul, then to hide away forever and not to have felt that good inside. Right now I am seriously suffering and experiencing the pain of a broken heart, but to know I loved with ALL my heart and trusted with everything I knew how to do so with…it made the journey that much more insightful. I have many regrets, but I do not regret loving with all of my heart. Yes, I have my barriers…but loving someone should not be a barrier, but instead a blessing. The mistake I made was when my love for a person became more about what the person did or did not do and forgetting what I should and should not have not done. So in the future I would like to remember to love selflessly instead of selfishly. If you really want to love with all of your heart make sure you do so to serve others instead of doing it for the sole purpose of serving yourself.
