- I think I know why I might have been attracting the wrong people…
- What do you mean?
- I want to be loved, but I’m afraid of breaking someone’s heart. I have been on both sides of a breakup so I know what it feels like to be on either side. I used to always be the one who walked away. Then I got my heart broken. You know, they're so different. Both are painful, but let’s be honest, it’s much harder when it’s not on your terms. And as hard as it can be, I’d still much rather be the one who gets my heart broken rather than breaking someone else’s heart. I know I can’t stand the fact that I’m causing pain to someone, especially after knowing what it feels like. Maybe I haven’t really been as open with my heart as I thought I was... maybe that’s why I might have been unconsciously putting myself in the position of being off-balance.
- Interesting… We’re all human, you know? And the truth is, as humans, we can’t live without killing animals, either directly or indirectly.
- I’m not sure if I understand…
- Let’s put it this way. There are ants on the street, right? What if I’m afraid to take a walk out because I might accidentally kill an ant when I don’t look down? Do you think I should be staying at home forever instead so I can make sure I don’t harm any lives?
- I see it now…
- Right, same with love. What makes falling in love so thrilling and beautiful is that we don’t know what’s going to happen next. I know it comes from a place of kindness on your part, but you need to be kind to yourself, too. All you need to do is open your heart to receive. Just be present with love when it comes.
