A few things I’ve learned about love in the last year:

1) the experience of loving another person is always worth it. even when it isn’t perfect or doesn’t last long - expose yourself to loving any chance you get. and not just any love: I’m talking about the boundaried and nurturing, devotional love that requires the absence of violence and abuse. the type of love that says I see you and i hear you, i offer my arms for you to rest type of love.

2) love and intimacy isn’t only for romantic partners. i’ve experienced the deepest intimacy this year loving on my family, friendships, my dance sisters and most of all, my daughter. my heart has never felt so full.

3) the deepest lesson of all: it is near impossible to truly embody love and be loving when our bodies are under a constant state of stress and overwhelm. this is why healing our traumas and allowing our nervous system to self-regulate with rest, community care and self love is so necessary before one can truly be free to love in its purest form.
