My friend told me something somewhat profound to me tonight that rang a few bells in my head.
Love isn't always being nice. Love is kind---but it isn't always nice.
Boom. I don't have to always be the nice girl. I don't have to get run over. I am powerful and free.
Sometimes love hurts. Sometimes love is honest. Sometimes love is tough.
But Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things. It's patient and kind, yes. But it holds POWER.
Love never fails.
I agree with this! Also, I had a revelation last night that I've always unconciously felt that I have to do things to make things happen with men, when in fact, someone who is strong enough for me will be able to lead me! I have felt so much responsibility on my shoulders because men haven't stepped up, and I haven't felt safe enough to let down my guard and just BE because I can't feel "weak" in front of someone who I don't feel is strong. Wow!!! I am just going to sit back and WAIT for the right man, knowing that he will be strong enough to pursue me in the right way. I don't have to make anything happen!!!
