This is so beautiful Ben! As I was reading, I was identifying the ways in which I withhold love in my life today and I feel grateful for people like you who help steer me back. You do radiate love like a lamp ❤️
Ben.Yo! Your wonderful words and willingness to be vulnerable resonate deeply within me. Thank you for helping me rethink my love losses and try to move on without resentment. Powerful. I think my superpower is resilience. We are traveling similar paths to realize how being loving and kind is free and liberating. Peace out boy scout!
Sometimes the action doesn’t look like action or is simply a decision made internally, e.g. not responding, letting someone “off the hook” when they do something I don’t like, not retaliating, not defending, etc.
And love isn’t always pretty, either. It’s not always easy to discern the loving action and sometimes the action may not appear to be loving to an observer. I have to defer to higher principles and inspiration and possibly even make mistakes.

Good luck! 😉
Good luck.
Sounds like an interesting path your life took. (Or should I say that you took a path that made life more interesting and challenging for you?)
Either way, you emerged with love. That's pretty cool.
Thanks for reading. There’s only so much time in a day, so I appreciate it.
Iso very beautiful. In times of my life, I have felt almost all of those emotions.
Loved every word of this. Thank you for putting it out into the world 🤍
Love is an action, not a feeling — when I understood this I experienced a very similar change to what you outline here.
Absolutely.

Gah. Thank you for your honesty. This is so beautiful.
Thank you. Sincerely.
We will thrive when we do!
