Love Without Expectations

To love without expectation, you have to be okay with yourself. Okay with opening your doors, spreading your arms, baring your heart and understanding that not everyone is going to be gentle with it. You have to know that you can recover from those aches, that you can heal your own wounds, that you can trust yourself to walk away from the situations that do not grow or aid you. ~ Priebe, Heidi, This Is Me Letting You Go

Do you know how to love without expectation?
Are you okay with yourself?
Okay with opening your doors,
spreading your arms,
baring your heart
and understanding
that not everyone is going to be gentle with it?
Do you know that you can recover
from those aches,
that you can heal your own wounds,
that you can trust yourself
to walk away from the situations
that do not grow or aid you?
You are more powerful, more resourceful,
more capable than you know!
Have the courage always
to love without expectations!
