End of 2015

12/31/15

As I reflect on my year and my word for the year...LOVE...I can say that I am definitely NOT where I thought I would be when this year ended, which is still single. And a little heart heavy. On the other hand, I do not, can not, regret one single moment of this year and I can say with total clarity that LOVE is exactly what I have ended this year with. Love of myself. While I started this year in search of “The One”, what I found was that I am The One I was looking for all along.

I went seeking a partner and tried everything in my power to make a relationship out of thin air which only caused pain. I kept trying to push a square peg into a round hole. Force. Will. More of the banging the head against the wall scenario. Eventually the banging woke me up. Eventually.

Now I realize that I can never find Love in or with anyone outside of myself. Love comes from within me. I can only find the Love I seek inside myself. I have found it. I am discovering it. I am exploring my own Love. When the time is right, another who has Love from within, will come along and we will be two wholes and will be stronger for it.

I finally realized that two broken people cannot make one whole person. Unfortunately. I certainly have tried what feels like a bazillion times. I finally figured it out.

I am “Shaking it Off” now as this year ends.
