To fall in love with the sadness (you should be happy in love, but love isn’t happiness)
Love is beautiful, but love isn’t just about the times of happiness. Love in its full spectrum and depth also comes with heart wrenching loneliness, yearnings, and pain. But in its essence, is that what gives love such power and significance in our lives? The fact that love embodies the stimulates the full spectrum of human emotions. In reflection, love in isolation is not love, or else it would just be called that individualistic emotion instead of ‘love’.

Love is beautiful because it isn’t just happiness. The experience of engaging with, understanding, and accepting our personal forms and method of loving — especially the painful ones — can help us in returning back to our humanity, because it reminds us that our emotions do not occur in isolation, but they are beautiful all the same (to fall in love means to be full in ourselves). I love because I feel pain. I love because I cry. I love because I’m scared, anxious, fearful, but also because I’m happy, grateful, and full. I love because I feel (my humanity). It is both my discomfort and rest. Maybe this is why I associate love with home, because when you accept your love, that is when you are home to yourself. Your love (in its entirety) is yours. In its own way, the beauty of the love that you feel isn’t them, it’s you. Don’t die over them — reclaim your love for yourself, because you are the source (reintegrate, then with a grateful heart, let go — return to yourself, and move on with yourself, full. The love you want will always come to you, because it is you who will feel that love, meaning no one can inhibit it — except yourself) — To have the courage to fall in love, even with yourself (to become the safe medium for your love to flourish and bloom in its entirety. To have the courage to dream, and to have the trust in yourself to make it come true. The beauty of becoming your own true, irreplaceable, and self-supporting love — to become full in and within yourself. To no longer seek, but to be).

[My Message To You] The Lovely You (the ‘prerequisite’ of love given your eternal lovability)
When you let go of what you think you ‘should’ be, you let in the potential and possibility for people to fall in love with who you really are, irrespective of your efforts. This is because you are finally allowing yourself to be seen, instead of playing a persona that you think people would love and appreciate (living in the ego projection of who you think you should be, instead of your living in your unabashed and effortless truth). However, even subconsciously, maybe you’re playing and creating that persona because you think and believe that if you didn’t try and just existed as you, then the people to whom you are leveraging your own self-worth on wouldn’t love you anymore — because you don’t see yourself as lovable. However, ironically, the longer you do that, the lonelier you become — because you yourself know and understand that you are not your persona. It wouldn’t matter how much recognition and ‘love’ you got, because they aren’t seeing the real you; because you are hiding it (because you believe it to be unloveable) — to reject yourself first before others have the ability and power to reject you.

But, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, because even if others wanted to fall in love with you, they can’t, because you’re not allowing yourself to be seen and to be fallen in love with (even if they did want to see you for who you truly are, underneath your persona, they can’t). The person and thing that is stopping yourself from being seen and loved for who you really are, is yourself. Because before you can be loved by anybody else, you need to love yourself first — to have the courage to be seen as who you are, without any masks, because you know that regardless of anybody else’s perceptions of you, that you are lovable. Only when you love yourself and have the courage to be truly yourself in the external world will you be able to attract the ones who love you, not because you are any more lovable than you were before, but because you are finally being true and honest with yourself. Even if you are living in your persona, you’re still lovable and people will love you, because despite that persona, it’s still you! However, the main issue with that is that you don’t feel loved and seen for who you are, and you become increasingly tired at the prospect of you feeling unable to be who you are as you are. It’s a shame, because you’re already beautiful and lovable as you are (it’s sad to see you tired).
