Redefining Love

Love used to be all consuming.

Chaotic and unpredictable. Pain was inevitable. Heartbreak was common. Love was dependent on the other to return that love. Being in love meant being lost, having fallen so far from myself. Being in love meant losing touch with my wholeness and becoming one with another. Being in love meant being the same. Being in love meant compromise, sacrifice, & altruism. Being in love meant suffering for the greater good. Love used to be enabling. Love used to be a crutch for fears; it became an excuse not to grow. Love was something that held me back. Love became a suffocating blanket. Love was isolated and barren. Love was never enough. Love was a punishment.

Moving away from that idea of love and consciously choosing to redefine it, now I see…

Love is infinite.

Love is expansive.

Love is independent.
