Love without fear

Doing so much better! My secret? Learning that the best way to love is without worrying about someone else returning the sentiment. It’s okay to love your family, your friends, whomever you like. But it can’t become an all consuming, center of the existence thing. Love is everywhere, all the time, given by people who have known you forever and people you would never notice exists. It just is. Love can’t hurt you. It isn’t something to fear.

Do you think that if you fear to give love, that maybe it isn’t really love? Isn’t love one of those things that just happens? Should I really stress over something I can’t control?

Working on it. Tenatively stretched out the wings, got smacked really hard, withdrew. but I tried and I considered it progress. I think it will all work out in the end. I mean, I can’t stay walled up inside myself forever.
