It is okay to love after you have survived domestic
violence. It is okay to let yourself be
loved after surviving domestic violence. By all means do love and let yourself be loved. Yes it can be a terrifying thing
to love again, but don’t let your past experiences hinder your future. Instead
let your past experiences inform your future. You now know that love can fail.
Terribly. You now know that love shouldn’t hurt. Mostly. You now know what love
is not. Despite all that Love anyway. Just love differently. Love and be loved constructively,
not destructively. Love with an
awareness now. Love with an awareness that loving is a risk. Love with an
awareness that being loved is a risk. Love anyway. Love with a hope that this
love will work. Love with the belief that love can and does work. Love.
Love. Love. Don’t be afraid of love. Don't be afraid to love. Don’t hold the wrongs of your abuser
against the new person in your life who is trying to love you. Love is to be
embraced and felt fully. Immerse yourself in it. Love. Love. Love. Joy Lyn ©2015
