Some days love is a feeling, and some days love is a choice.
Some days, I have the capacity to love greatly, and some days, I feel I barely have the capacity to receive love... "You cannot share that which you are not willing to receive." But one thing I know about myself...
I will never stop loving! I will seek to love and to be loved! I will not fear the pain of love, nor will I fear the joy of love!
Wait... I lied. I do fear love... but not the act of love nor the joy of love. I fear the pain that accompanies love. In this world, pain and love are inseparable. But that is also true for joy and love.
It is not a matter of "if" you get hurt by love... but a matter of "when" you get hurt by love. With that knowledge, I accept my fate of pain. I will cling to the knowledge and experience of the joy of loving and being loved. I will continue my quest to love and be loved.
Taking full responsibility for my choice to follow my spontaneous inner child that so desires to share her capacity to give and receive this life-changing gift of LOVE!
