Workable Love
Reciprocated love is necessary to work
“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky
Workable love
shows itself first through self-love
and then love toward others,
in the same capacity.
To fully love yourself first
means accepting the love you deserve,
allowing the love from others to be just as strong
as the love you have for them.
Reciprocated love
means equally yoked,
not in belief but rather,
in what the true meaning of love is.
To love and to be loved,
is the most powerful gift upon Earth,
received from Heaven,
and planted in the heart.
But to exchange that love,
in which two equally give and take,
is a miracle in and of itself,
for everyone has a different kind of love.
There are five love languages,
and even more interpretations of the five,
but that doesn’t even matter
so long as the amount of love transferred is the same.
