Sometimes people walk away from love because it is so beautiful that it terrifies them. sometimes they leave because the connection shines a bright light on their dark places and they are not ready to work them through. sometimes they run away because they are not developmentally prepared to merge with another they have more individuation work to do first.
Sometimes they take off because love is not the priority in their lives, they have another path and purpose to walk first. sometimes they end it because they prefer a relationship way more practical than conscious. one that doesn’t threaten the way they breathe. Because many of us carry shame, we tend to personalize what the person next to us thinks. we know the limits, triggered by rejections; and feelings of abandonment.
That feeling of pressure, later on, we describe as Love. sometimes the one who leaves is just not ready to hold it safe. sometimes they know something we don’t, they know their limits at that moment. Real love is abundance, it is a path leading to sincerity and affection, It is not words, It is a vibe, action, That emotion which we can’t relay in words. May we grieve the loss without personalizing it? May we learn to love ourselves in the absence of the lover.
AND IF YOUR PATH IS LEADING YOU RIGHT THEN AT THE END OF 300 DAYS, YOU WILL ALWAYS LOVE THE SAME!
