A space for soul connection
It is completely natural and normal to want and deserve friendship and love. You can love someone without needing anything from them. Sometimes the best way to love someone is to take a step back. From a distance.
If a relationship is difficult – it doesn’t mean you don’t love them, or they don’t love you. It doesn’t mean you are abandoned, or that you are abandoning them.
Some connections work best with gentleness and space. Sometimes you need that space – to root within your own needs.
Sometimes, when I need someone to be more, to give more than they can – I tell them out loud. Just with me, just myself. I have a conversation with them, and remember reconciliation and love.
Because the people you love, you love for a reason. And you can remember that too, and not just the pain.
