CONVERSATIONS WITH LOVE III

Me: Hey, Love!

Love: Hey!

M: How’s it going?

L: Perfectly loving all the time.

M: Yeah… about that.

I was driving to the grocery store today and I was listening to my favorite 80’s radio station.

L: I’m the 80’s!

M: Ok, Love, I need you to come down to my level.

L: Right.

M: On the radio Tina Turner was singing that song “What’s love got to do with it”.

L: Yep, I taught Tina how to sing. She’s on my top 100 list and I listen to her often.

Me: Ok…not what I thought you were going to say but anyway…

The love part in the song, when I’ve gone through a break up it’s pretty painful.

How does love fit into relationships if it’s so devastating and heartbreaking?

How do you love someone and not get hurt?

L: Do you really want to know?

M: Yes, I think so.

L: Love, when you’re referring to me, it’s only part of me that’s felt in relationships.

The Love that I am isn’t conditional and doesn’t change.

Love is always Love.

Love is unbending and unbreakable, it’s constant like the sun.

Always shining always there for you to feel it’s warm loving rays.

M: So about the break up part…?

L: Well, like yesterday’s chat, you’ve perfected certain moments and relationships are challenging because it involves another person.

When you’ve lost your lover it can hurt and sting and make you not want to get out of bed, right?

M: Yes, and eat lots of ice cream and chocolate and then gain weight and ugh it’s so……unloving.

L: Do you know what I’m going to say?

M: Yes, if I remember you the experience won’t be as painful.

L: Great!!

M: Easier said than done, Love.

L: Yes, it is but you can practice being a loving partner to yourself first because when you have an unbreakable bond with yourself then in the midst of a break up you can still be with your loving self and remember what it was all for to begin with.

M: What was it for?

L: To learn how to be more like me, Love.

Everyone of your relationships can be seen as a teaching experience getting you closer to your true self, Love.

When your lover leaves you must remember that the true lover is inside and it can never leave you.

The lover on the outside of you is actually a reflection of you and what you need to learn about yourself on the inside of you.

If they leave it could be because you’ve learned all you could with that person.

It could be because maybe you weren’t loving yourself properly and the same lesson will continue until you see that it has to be about loving yourself.

M: And it has to be painful because…?

L: To force you to go inside of yourself and find your anchor of Love.

It’s all you truly have and it is all their is.

It’s what must sustain you through every trial and tribulation because life can really make it look like there is none of me, Love, to be found anywhere and in those moments you must remember the true lasting pure love is inside of you.

Forever and always.

M: I’m speechless…

L: Perfect!

So what’s love got to do with it?

It’s got everything to do with you!

Be me, Love, always. ❤️
