Thoughts on Love

If it’s meant for you, it won’t be toxic...

It won’t bring out your insecurities or your fears or the worst in you because it will bring peace into your life and into your heart...

If it’s meant for you, it won’t feel like a burden... You won’t have to explain to anyone why it’s not as bad as they think it is and you won’t have to go to sleep wondering if you’re lying to yourself because you’d be sure of it...

You’d be sure that it’s right for you...

If it’s meant for you, it won’t feel like a war...

A war with yourself because you’re letting it drag on or because you can’t get out of it...

A war with your friends because they can all see that you’re settling...

A war with love because part of you knows that it shouldn’t be this hard...

If it’s meant for you, you won’t have to constantly question if it is...

You won’t have to look for signs or ask for advice or look for confirmation that it’s right. You’d just know...

It will feel like home...

It will make you feel safe...

It will give you one less thing to worry about... It will be healthy for you...

If it’s meant for you, you won’t have to chase after it...

You won’t have to try too hard or turn your life upside down for it to work...

You won’t have to lose yourself so you can keep it...

If it’s meant for you, it will bring you closer to who you really are...

It will enhance all the beautiful parts of you and make you more open to love, more nurturing, more compassionate and more forgiving...

If it’s meant for you, it won’t break your heart... There may be disappointments or letdowns or conflicts but it will never break your spirit, it will never close your heart off and it will never let you suppress your innermost feelings...

Because what’s meant for you doesn’t come around very often, but when it does, when it’s not another lesson or another mistake, when it’s finally yours after everything you’ve endured and everything you’ve been through, it comes like a wave washing over you.

It feels like home...
