What is love? Who gets to feel it? Where does it come from? How do you hold onto it? I don't know if I can answer those questions, but I do know that love starts within yourself.
If you can not love yourself, how do you expect that someone can love you? We all must have respect for ourselves and for others around us.
Is the one that you think is your true love right now really showing you love or trying to possess you so that no other can touch you? True love does not bind you, it does not make you feel less than you are, it does not hurt. Are you being hurt in your relationship by this person who confesses to love you? Does this person hurt you then beg for your forgiveness? This is not love! This person does not love him or herself. This person has not found the true path to love.
Never let another person control your actions. This is not love! This is just control. Love is an emotion that, just sometimes, if we are lucky, will come at least once in our lifetimes. It seeks to help you in your journey through life, not hinder you. It seeks to show you your true self, not hold you down and keep you from growing. It seeks to expand the beauty of life not to close it off.
Look truly within yourself and your relationship, find the answers you so dearly yearn for. Never let anyone take you so deeply into the darkness of life that you have to claw your way out. Grow, love and let that little light shine!
