I always ran away from intimacy because I was afraid of being hurt. Little did I realize, I was only hurting myself by abandoning my own faith in love.
I’m not sure who this originally belongs to. It doesn’t feel like my own, but more like a set of stories that were passed down perpetuating trauma and scarcity. These were the only stories I knew. I couldn’t imagine unconditional love because I had never consciously experienced it.
This type of story is not unique. It dominates the culture as our unconscious operating system. It’s an embodiment of the ultimate inversion of our true nature as an unlimited source of love.
I can’t help but to feel forgiveness for our stories. They’ve hurt all of us, created our divisive programming and have left us in a dire state of disconnect from the essence of who we are. Most of us never knew to act differently. However, these stories eventually had to be resolved.
The wars we fight against one another are no different than the wars I find in my own heart. There was never a war for me to fight on the outside, there was only a greater love waiting to be discovered within.
Even now, this love intimidates me. I’m still learning her ways and don’t fully understand the power she yields. Yet, I’m committed to her calls. I remember that she always accepts me, regardless of how long I choose to forget this.
This sacred love, the intimacy we so crave, is waiting for all of us. I don’t know what will happen if we run away again, but I do know she doesn’t have a last call.
Maybe for the first time, I feel ready to lock hands and accept we are worthy of pure unconditional love.
This can be our reality. We are worthy of it. We just need to believe in love’s magic.
