Life is strange

Being someone who wants to see the good in people isn't always easy. I love big. I pour love into people who take it for granted. Do I regret it? Nope. They must have needed it. Do I end up hurt? Yes, but I learn and I grow. Every experience, good or bad, is an opportunity to grow. I do wonder if I have become too accustomed to being hurt. Hurt is so familiar. Will I know what to do when my love is truly, unconditionally reciprocated?

We are existing in strange times. Covid has basically forced online dating to be the only way to connect with new people. It's such a superficial and unnatural way to seek connection. I miss the days of meeting people in the real world. I miss being able to feel the good energy of a person, feeling that spark and knowing that you want to learn more. You don't get to experience this while scrolling through endless modified photos and less than honest write-ups.

I'm sitting here, not knowing what to say and then it occurred to me-my unconditional love is already reciprocated. It may not be reciprocated in the form of romantic love, but it is, tenfold, in my friendships and with my children. I am blessed and I am so incredibly grateful.

Life is strange.
