never and always

♥️

Loving you means I never look down on you no matter how far or in which direction you fall. 

It means I give and learn, all that I can, to lift you. 

It means even though I look up to you I know I am never less than, and because when I have fallen you are holding my hand to bring me back up. 

It means I am never judging you, shaming you, deserting you or betraying you. 

It means I have your back. 

It means our friendship carries our relationship when life gets in the way. 

It means I support you. 

It means I respect you. 

It means I enjoy you. 

It means I believe in you, I stand by you, I protect you, I value you. 

It means I am always moving towards you, never away from you. 

It means I am grateful for your life and for your willingness to share it with me. 

It means our sacred connection is more important than any difference, challenge, or conflict. 

It means I know we are all human, we all have victories and we all make mistakes, and there is no heart I’d rather be beside through all of them

than yours.

Never above you. 

Never below you. 

Always beside you. 

what do you stand for?

i prefer to spend my time with

and be connected to

people who prioritize love

and authentic living

when i say i love you ...

♥

when i say i love you 
it means you have someone who
will encourage you
when you feel you have failed,
is proud of you
when you feel shamed,
supports you
when you feel weak,
believes in you
when you are swimming recklessly in doubt,
wants you
when you feel undesirable,
is grateful for you
when you feel unworthy,
wants what's best for you
even when it hurts,
will remind you of your greatness
when you have forgotten your significance,
will heal you
when no one else can even tell that you are wounded,
and understands you
when nothing in your entire world makes any sense at all. 
♥
when i say i love you
it means you have
love without conditions, 
love without limits,
love without fail.
 ♥
when i say i love you
it is not because of what you have done, what you are doing, or what you will do. 
it is because of who you have been,
who you are,
and every single bit of who you are still yet to be.

love-full

pride concerns the self. 

love concerns the other. 

it isn't that you complete me ...

i've been thinking a lot about what a gift it is when someone allows us to love them.

the joy of love, really, is not that someone loves you back.

because that's not what love is.
loving someone doesn't mean loving them so that you can be loved.
it's loving because you will to love.

when someone allows you to love them, your whole world can change.

your heart can grow exponentially.

by the moment.

when you can love someone,
and love their dreams,
and love their life,
just to love them,
with no expectation or need from them,

it can bring your search to rest.

it can offer an answer to your prayer.

it can take a wounded heart

to whole.
