I think it taught me what unconditional love really means.
People use it because they’ve heard it in movies, but they don’t really mean it. They use it the same way they use “soulmate” when they don’t really understand what that is either.
I’ve learned what the ego really means, too.
I’ve learned to take responsibility for my journey and other parts of my life. To start looking at problems as opportunities for me to grow, overcome and improve. Rather than blaming situations, circumstances and other people.
Every time I’m suffering over this connection, it’s because I’ve slipped back into expectations or possessiveness. And the second, I catch myself and surrender back to just loving him without needing anything from it? Peace. Instant. It’s like a feedback loop showing me exactly where I’m still holding on too tight. Uncomfortable to see, but also kind of clarifying.
