There was
a time in my life I became afraid to love. Because all those times I feel I
love, I got hurt. I thought maybe that’s why it’s called “falling” in love. I
would give my all, loving deeply and wholeheartedly. It would be a truly
emotional, extremely euphoric experience. I would dream about the object of my
affection all day and all night, imagining good time together, thinking of what
I can do or give him to show how much I cared. I would feel light as a feather,
energized and excited, literally blooming with the joy I felt inside. Then
somehow something would go wrong and my whole world would crash.
Disappointment. Resentment. Anger. Pain. Why? Can we not love without pain? Is
disappointment really a price to pay for all the happiness we feel when we’re
in love? Should we blindly accept that because we love we get hurt?
It was
only after many years of soul-searching and internalizing inspirational
writings that I discovered that I can love without getting hurt. I finally
understood that unconditional love is the answer.
