Who Told You Love Was Supposed To Hurt?

By

Who told you love was supposed to hurt, in every crevice of your fragile, little body? 

They weren’t telling the truth and you never should have believed them. It was never supposed to hurt. It was always supposed to feel safe. It might not have been back then but you’ve made sure that it is now.

Who told you love was supposed to hurt, in every crevice of your fragile, little heart?

The heart that you never thought could give too much and receive so little. Didn’t you learn from the moon? That you always give even when you think you have nothing more to give. A new day will dawn and you will one day feel full.

Every seven years, the stardust that makes up your bones changes and the moon pulls you in directions you never knew you could go. It will feel scary. It may feel like light years of work and a decade of heartbreak.

but.

Go anyway. That is your path. The ocean will never forsake you. Love will never forsake you. Forgiveness flows in waves and it can wash over you, if you let it. Let go of that hurt. Let the go of what you thought IT was supposed to look like. Let go of what you thought your life was supposed to look like. We are evolving every day and in seven years you won’t look like you thought.

You can save yourself. You can save the parts that only wanted you to listen all along. To hear what they needed you to hear and seek only the things that would serve your highest good.

It’s a new dawn, the moon is full and I told you that it would get better.

Who told you love was supposed to hurt, in every crevice of your fragile, little heart?

Hang in there, moon child. We’re in this together.
