When you’re hurt by someone you love something happens… The chemistry of your insides are disrupted and you’re never quite the same. Your heart has a tick to it, a skip in beats every now and then. Your stomach has a permanent knot in it for quite some time afterwards. And your soul, well your soul takes quite the beating. It’s damaged and scarred, but it doesn’t mean you’re dead. And then someday, just out of the blue, when you’re least expecting it… you’ll feel a little better. Then a little better, and then all at once, you’ll feel whole again…

When you’re Hurt by Someone you Love Something Happens
Be the Person who Cares. Be the Person who Makes the Effort.
Be the person who cares. Be the person who makes the effort, the person who loves without hesitation. Be the person who bares it all, the person who never shies away from the depth of their feeling, or the intensity of their hope. Be the person who believes — in the softness of the world, in the goodness of other people, in the beauty of being open and untethered and trusting. Be the person who takes the chance, who refuses to hide. Be the person who makes people feel seen, the person who shows up. Trust me when I say — be the person who cares. Because the world doesn’t need more carelessness, any more disregard; because there is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn’t always been kind to them.

People Need to be Encouraged. People Need to be Reminded
People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in — told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream and more. Remind each other of this.

Vulnerability is the Birthplace of Love
Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.

One of the Most Spiritual Things you can do is Embrace your Humanity
One of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with those around you today. Say, “I love you”, “I’m sorry”, “I appreciate you”, “I’m proud of you”…whatever you’re feeling. Send random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it…cause a smile today for someone else…and give plenty of hugs
