Love Means.........

 In 2013 I started writing this after i got tired of complaining to myself how i did not like the line from "Love Story" love means never having to say you are sorry. So i came up with my own version initial draft was shorter and i'll include it at the bottom and was finished February 2014 during a time that learning how to love myself became a matter of life or death. i needed to find something deeper for me, and one that I feel is the foundation for all love including the most important type and that is Self Love. One can not love another until they can love themselves. This is an archetype represent all matters of love whether romantic, family, friends, or people in passing; and adds deeper meaning and interconnectedness to one word that holds more power than any other word, even has more power in than God, as it could be beautiful and it could be used also for the most hurt and destruction. Love is about loving they neighbor as Christ commandeth about coexist.  

In September 2014 It was extended in this copy from the inspiration the men and woman brought into my life at a Honoring Our Experience Retreat; these people embodied what love meant and this definition, so here my definition of love. (I thought i had it on my blog before, but now it will be)

LOVE means

Love is about expressing and saying

I SEE you
I HEAR you
I TRUST you
I SUPPORT you
I RESPECT you
I VALUE you
I HONOR you
I FORGIVE you
I ACCEPT you UNCONDITIONALLY even when I may DISAGREE with you
I STAND beside you
I am PRESENT for you
I CONNECT and INTERCONNECT with you
I DEFEND you
I RECEIVE you
I KEEP IT REAL for you
I will CALL OUT YOUR MESS and HELP YOU CLEAN IT UP
I am FAMILY to you
I am your FRIEND
I SURRENDER to you to be an EQUAL YOKE for you
I am THERE for you
I am SHELTER to you
I BELONG to you
I VIBRATE and RESONATE with you
I UPLIFT you
I CRY with you
I LAUGH with you
I am EMPOWERED with and by you
I CELEBRATE LIFE with you
I SHARE your pain and HEAL with you
I EMBRACE you as the person you are
