gentle

I want to learn to love gently.

I want to hold love gently.

I want to connect to people rather than attach to them.

I want to allow relationships to unfold without forcing outcomes. This takes courage, patience, and a strong sense of self.

I want to appreciate interactions for what they are without demanding more.

I want to trust my partner and trust myself.

I want to accept that people can come and go while still mattering deeply.

I want to accept that people have their lives to lead, and so do you!

I think I am becoming good at noticing when I am holding tensions around feelings of love and then consciously softening them.

I think the best thing I've learned when fear arises it to tell myself truthfully that I can can feel without action.

I can fucking feel without action.
