Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
One of those questions where you know you’re about to be vulnerable.
I felt a lot of love growing up, but not from my parents from what you may be thinking.
I knew my parents loved me. But it’s an entirely different thing to feel it.
From a young age, I knew and felt that I was loved. From something greater than myself. I still feel this love in a way but it was very strong as a child.
I was adopted with no connection to any biological family and my adoption was never discussed. Long story short, I felt alone for a very very long time. Still healing from this trauma. (I’m getting so annoyed with that word).
But even when I felt alone. I knew I was loved. I knew I had love in me. I felt guided by it.
I remember even telling people that I feel loved. That, “….I can’t explain it….”
Like…….. it’s like when you can smell something so yummy, but you have no idea where the scent is coming from. You go to the kitchen where you would think you would find what is releasing this delicious aroma but it’s not there. So you just search and search, you know you’re not crazy because you smell it! It’s there! You just can’t find it.
That’s kinda like the love I felt/feel. I don’t know where it’s coming from. But I know it’s always been there for me and that it will be okay.
Not just for me, but for everyone.
