The deepest love I have ever witnessed was never loud. It looked like remembering how they take their tea. It looked like patience after misunderstandings. It looked like two people meeting each other again and again through every version of themselves. Love is not a treasure buried in the earth. It is a garden asking, every day, “Will you tend to me too?” 🌿☕️
I listen to your piece twice and I understand the tension because I used to feel the same. I think I still feel the same, telling people to value their efforts but found myself sometimes minimizing mine. Staying aware not always help but it’s the starting point to move forward
“Think of love like a plant. If it is not watered, if it is not cared for consistently, it will eventually wither away, replaced by indifference, coldness, or even resentment.”
Very true. I once read that love is like a bank account. If you keep making withdrawals and never make deposits, eventually there will be nothing left.
The thirteenth was my favourite. Communication is important. It's something we should all feel safe to do with someone we love. After all the reflections, I have learned that I have a lot of work to do on myself before someone will love me right.
The 13th was good. I'm glad to know it stays with you. Sometimes the work can be simpler than it looks like. The good thing, I hope that they brought you a little more clarity and with clarity, you can chose the direction you wanna take. The kind of love you want and deserve.

That’s really a sweet image of love, indeed.
I have come to believe that the path toward finding and living a fulfilling love begins with knowing yourself.
This was the answer to a quest I had about fulfilling love while writing my post. Thank you Odel for sharing your wisdom on love.
I have shared the link to my post in case you would like to read it.
