Open Your Heart

Love is not all rainbows and faery tales. It takes commitment to change, active listening, allowing yourself to unlearn that which you once may have held dear, and truly immersing yourself into the incredible reality of yourself.

Please remember that an open heart means allowing both joy and sorrow. The courage to allow the sorrow is the same courage that allows the joy. We live to love. We protect ourselves to stay safe. All of that is okay, and there’s no judgment for where anyone is at.

Sometimes, we are hurt by the ones we love. Almost all of us have been. That doesn’t excuse anyone’s actions, it is simply a reality that we have endured. It takes courage to be vulnerable again, after such hurt, to wash away the pain and allow love and joy to renew and rebirth.

I love you.

May you be safe and may you also be love. Know that you are loved.
