Love is a lesson in caring, compassion selflessness and also self-care.<\/p>\n
Optimism is a buoyant force that we must all share.<\/p>\n
Valuing one emotion over another is not healthy for you<\/p>\n
Every emotion has value, it’s true!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Recognizing all feelings is<\/p>\n
Optimal self care<\/p>\n
Owning all sensations<\/p>\n
Truth and Despair<\/p>\n
Seeing Light even in Darkness.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Growing and learning day by day<\/p>\n
Realizing that relationships take work not just play!<\/p>\n
Our relationships give life meaning and hope<\/p>\n
Without them we be would not be able to cope<\/p>\n
Tough times draw us together in love<\/p>\n
Heavenly relationships sent from above<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Over time, we would love each other, and I would learn to love her like a mother loves a daughter imperfectly and without roots.<\/p>\n
