Every single person on this planet wants to be deeply loved – whether they will admit it or are aware of it or not. The truth is that no matter how much money you make, how beautiful your body is or how many accolades you acquire, at the core of who you are, you desire to be deeply loved.
And yet, how many of us would be willing to stand up and admit to the world this deepest of deep desires? Would you? Of course you might express that you would really like a loving relationship, that your family is important to you, or even that you’d like to take better care of yourself.
But would you peel back the curtain that protects your delicate soul to reveal that inside is the most innocent and pure heart, one who craves to be seen by another so deeply that you could almost feel that person witnessing your soul? Would you show us the holes of loneliness that sometimes surface on that same heart when your soul feels unseen, unheard, un-understood?
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.
The loneliest times of my life have been in relationships – be it with a parent, a friend or a romantic partner – in which I called out to be seen… when I reached out for unconditional love… and neither was returned.
After 30 years of trying to find that deep love from the people around me whom I loved, I was gifted with a profound realization, one that I have since come to understand is the secret to everything in life. When we live by it, the happiness and love we seek is ever present. When we don’t, we will find ourselves forever seeking out happiness and love, in vain.
The secret is this:
The deep love you seek starts and ends with the love you have for you.” Full story at: A Love Letter: Do You Desire To Be Deeply Loved?.
