Stay open.

An open heart cannot be hurt. 

On the contrary,

it is only with a closed heart that suffering follows. 

It is only with an open heart that wisdom flows.

It doesn't sound romantic and it's nothing like your rom coms. It's not a stroll in the park, with occasional fights and sacrifices, that progresses to compromises and losing your spark. This is why it feels like the initial flame and intensity dwindles after a while and what remains is co-existence— sharing the same space but not truly living together. You've idealised romance based on what you think it should be because of your media consumption— basically food for your ego. Love isn't a pat on the back for your ego. It's a dissolution of it so what you truly are can come forth and shine. You don't fall in love. The only thing that "falls" or dissolves is your ego. 

Here's what love is: 

It's a radical shift in your awareness, a daily awakening to the fullness of another being and the conscious choice to experience another being in their wholeness without judgement but discernment and to dissolve your ego into light. It's not about pleasing their ego with "romantic gestures" it's about feeding their being with soulful nourishment like sunlight. It doesn't drain you because it's not an exchange between giving and receiving but a boundless flow of energy that radiates when you are the living embodiment of light. It's not for the weak, the desperate, the broken or the egotistical ones. It's for the warriors of light. The former will drain you in toxic relationships because they are busy playing small like parasites. The latter will fuel you because they embody the wholeness of being human.

Empaths aren't soft, sweet, and nice like they're often projected to be. "Empath" is just another label for people with a heightened sense of life sensitivity, not ego sensitivity. There's a huge difference.

So the next time you label yourself or someone else as either a narcissist or an empath, take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Why do either of these labels attract you to begin with?"

Love is evolution. It's a literal mirror image of the word— love|evol. A child that doesn't challenge their parents but instead blindly obliges them, is a puppet. Know the difference.

Evolution is the aim of Creation. Those who are meant to have children do so because they have something to learn from them, to aid in their own personal evolution.

This applies to each and every relationship. If you're not growing in one, then the ship has already sailed.

There's no such thing as the fear of abandonment. What you truly fear, is the loss of control.
