“It may seem that love makes emotional wrecks of us all, that it wakes us with fire and smothers us with the fear of its absence; but that is not love. Love is aware of loss and yet it pulls you in closer. Love is realizing that everyone needs it, that all are worthy of […]
“Guilt justifies our limitations, keeps us in unhealthy relationships and poisons us from the inside out.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“If you only connect deeply in relationships when there is a crisis or shared grievance, you are training your subconscious to practice psychological stress so that you have an excuse to be loved. You don’t need an excuse. You exist, and that is the best reason there is. It is not about believing you deserve love. It is about feeling, practicing, training your psyche to feel love whether ideal conditions are present or not, which is the best contribution to your life, your relationships and the world you can make.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There is no suffering for joy, no path of trials you must go through in order to deserve it.
