The Love You Lost

When love was lost, like when parents turned on each other, when you had an uncaring foster parent, or another kid fought you for no reason, or the first time someone stole from you, or lied on you, or you began to discover the dark side, you were little-by-little being conditioned to leave yourself behind. 

You didn’t appreciate how rewarding it would be just to be you.

Leaving yourself behind may have seemed like a matter of survival, so your actions and behaviors began to betray your true self. More and more, you silenced your own heart, your own voice.

Find love. Let your heart speak. Hear your voice. Come home to you.
