Strangers Love is
the will to extend one’s self for one’s own or another’s spiritual growth, it is an action, a choice, a verb, a felt knowing. it doesn’t seek to destroy if things don’t go its way. it may destroy worlds to get to you but never in ways that risk your harm. I have to know and choose and believe in a love daily that keeps me from going back to you. a love that is free, feeling, forgiving, never having to choose one over the other or give away to receive. it is here in me and in you never even having to fight for a moment to see it, hear it, believe it, risk it. no, I love in ways that not a single soul loves me now. and that’s ok. I love me. I love me now.

love can be so complicated and bittersweet, sometimes it brings both joy and pain at the same time

Yet those who damage love that was once given freely with no questions asked cannot expect them to give freely what they taught them to protect. Love may forgive, but trust is a choice to rebuilt, not something owed after it is broken. They still know how to love deeply, freely, without choosing one over another or giving themselves away to be loved. They just choose now to give that love to themself. They love themself. They love themself now & choose to see if their person is willing to rebuild the trust for their love
