PS: Love is not attachment...

This year has been a lesson on releasing and non attachment. I actually FINALLY understand the meaning of “if you love something let it go”. That phrase always confused me. Because if I love it, why wouldn’t I want it to be with me?! But love is not codependency. It is appreciating something enough to allow it to grow/exist with or without you. There is no attachment in unconditional love—that is a fear based way of living.

Love is FREEDOM. Sometimes the things you love DO stay around ‘til the ends of time, sometimes they temporarily burn out only to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix, and other times they simply existed in that moment to show you more of yourself. Whether that something else is to illuminate the love within you and show your true essence—that you are indeed the embodiment of love OR that there are still ways you need to grow. Hell maybe it is even a little of both.

For me, it has shown that I am the very embodiment of love. My very existence exudes love and to love me is to feel that love within yourself. But also learning that same love you have within you must be poured into yourself as well.

Stop showing up, giving grace, and holding space for the very things and people you love while rejecting that love within yourself—giving yourself only a portion of the love you give to others. Receiving is an action

So in this moment, I release any attachment that I have to anyone or anything. I give gratitude to the people and things that have shown up and even for what I perceived to have “lost”—knowing that they are indeed not lost but forever etched into my memories. And although i choose not to live in the past, I am grateful for what things once were because they have helped me create the life that I have now.

I know things are not truly “lost” because Spirit always has something better than you could ever imagine. It is simply having the faith and courage to live in each moment— to be present in your own life. No matter how scary, sad, or painful it may all be. It is all temporary.

PS. This life sh.t is sometimes chaotic but beautiful. Life is Life’n right now; but I’m still moving through it all. Feeling my emotions and allowing them to flow through me!
