The Boundless Nature of Love
Can you make someone love you? For me, I love very easily. In fact, I always say and feel like I love everyone. Yes, I know, but I do – I love everyone. I have come to accept this feeling I’ve had since I was a child, this love I have for everyone. This love that I have been told again and again is not possible. I have heard that if you use it too much, it means nothing, and I remember trying not to use it too much because I didn’t want it to be meaningless.
This love inside me could not be stopped, and then I heard about Namaste and what it means. I thought, there – that is the love I am talking about, this Divine in me seeing the Divine in you. It’s a recognition of this spark of light within all of us that gives me the absolute freedom and confidence to now say I love you and know that it’s not diminishing or taking away from anything or anyone. Saying I love a perfect stranger does not take away from the love I have for the people I know or my family. My love is infinite and boundless, and for that, I am grateful.
Now, liking you and loving you are totally different to me. Loving you is not something I can control or even give much thought to. It just is. It’s a given, like breathing. Liking you, on the other hand, is an energetic connection that allows our personalities to gel. I don’t think I can control who I like because I have condemned someone for something and given it as a reason I don’t like them, only to reason it away with someone else. I am not saying this to take away responsibility but to be responsible and tell you I am responding to the energy around a person or a situation.

The differences in us give us the opportunity to find people that resonate with us rather than trying to fit in with those who don’t. To me, loving you is a given; it’s just innate in me. Liking you is an energetic pull that I choose to respond to. There is nothing wrong with you when people don’t like you. There is also nothing wrong with you when people say they don’t love you, or even if you are the person who doesn’t feel you can love everyone or someone. We are not made to be the same part of the puzzle; we are made differently to fit into the puzzle. Celebrate and embrace your differences. This is why I am writing this – to embrace and celebrate the fact that I love everyone. It’s not for others to understand or believe; it’s for me to be confident in myself and know that I am not wrong in my feelings of love.
Love,
B. Xxxxx
