Vulnerability is the cradle of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy and creativity... - Brené Brown.
There are links that contain, calm, regulate, order and stabilize, and that is valuable and necessary to restore trust and repair early failures of support, but not every link that regulates is called to accompany the expansion.
When a man really loves you, he loves you with the patience of one who knows that the true fire does not consume all at once, but burns slowly, constantly, warming the blood without ever setting the house on fire. And when the body begins to ask for more movement, more creative risk, and the bond only offers calm, the bond trembles.
Because not all links can accompany us at all stages and that does not invalidate them, it does not take away truth, history, or love. Do you know why? Because it locates them, takes them out of the ideal and puts them in the territory of choice to wash them conscientiously.
For me, loyalty and honesty is everything. In friendship, in love, in family, in life.
At least my husband loves me the way he loves the sea: without trying to tame it, just sailing in it, learning its currents, respecting its high and low tides, and always returning to the shore where I always wait for him.
Not all links can accompany you at all stages and that does not invalidate them, it does not take away truth, or history, or love.
At least my partner since we met 48 years ago, he came into my life without fanfare and without promises carved in marble 🫢.
He arrived silent as the tide that knows that time.it belongs to him and without asking permission it settles in the most forgotten corners of your soul. He didn't look for me to fill my emotional voids, he looked for me because my light and his were projected and that was what intertwined us, until death separates us. And that's why there are forces, to go further.
From time to time it is necessary to stop... look inside and ask ourselves what thoughts, fears or guilt were not born in us, but still we have carried for years.
Not everything that lives in the mind belongs to us. Some ideas were sown by others: expectations, judgments, other people's limits, imposed silences. Washing yourself inside is also an act of bravery.
Take out what weighs, what confuses, what no longer serves. Staying only with what gives us clarity, meaning and peace.
To stay loyal, and to be honest, is to be pampered and be my war. And how does love sound to you?
