Love loves people where they are. Sometimes you know that you won't resonate with a certain person, that the love languages you speak will harm rather than heal. Step away. This is not an invitation to only love the people you want to, but instead, to stop and go slow. To sit and observe. To wait until you can meet them where they are.
So much of our desire for love, both in pouring out and in receiving, comes from the fear of lack. The lack of love.
Fear of not being loved. Not being known. Not being admired or respected.
Guilt and shame can either be lack of love for ourselves, or a perceived expectation from others and we fear their lack of love for us because of it.
