Walking in Love

I’ve discovered that falling in love is not what it’s cracked up to be. This thing that we call falling in love is overrated. We put so much emphasis on how someone is suppose to make us feel. The excitement, butterflies, nervousness, every love song speaking to you, the anticipation of seeing that person. those things sound like a nervous breakdown. I’ve fallen in love a few times and all those feelings happening to me confused me. I thought they indicated that I was in love but I learned that I really wasn’t, I was wrong.

Falling leads one to believe that there is no choice, after all who in their right mind chooses to fall. Whenever we do fall it’s something that just happens. So why would I choose to "Fall in love"?
What if I could just walk in love instead of falling in love?

What the hell am I talking about walk in love?

Wow, how do I explain this. Walking in love. It’s discovering who you are, what you value, and what you want. Then you set out to get that. You intentionally set out to live life to the fullest. You become open to all the possibilities in giving of yourself , really giving, not in a sexual way, but an authentic way. Walking in love is not having to give up yourself but give of yourself. It’s consciously making a decision to be open and vulnerable to receive that love that we all crave. It’s giving yourself all the love you need and allowing it to spill over to your everyday life.

It’s a simple thought to be what you desire. It’s the amazing feeling of really allowing yourself to connect in a spiritual way with everyone, even if only for a little while.

Walking in love leads one to walk into love, instead of falling. Walking in love takes time. You find that one person that shares a special connection with you. It’s getting to explore everything that is them. Appreciating the differences without the agenda of change, but acceptance. Walking into love allows you to dream while awake, seeing thing for what they really are, not what you want them to be, but making those wants a possibility.

When you walk into love instead of falling you open yourself to soul touching experiences. Agendas, expectations, norms, and suppose to be, no longer make sense. It’s loving someone as you both agree love should be. Leaving out all things outside yourselves, out of this sacred relationship.

Walking in love takes patience, compassion, growth, intention, communication, respect , admiration, and a willingness to see yourself through the eyes of another, knowing that in them there is a safe place for you to explore all that you are. Falling is unexpected, unnerving, filled with unrealistic expectations, pushing and pulling, taking and giving.

Walking in love is natural, honest, filled with realistic growth potential, encouraging and energizing, giving and receiving. Walking in love is the process that bring us closer to who we really are, walking into love is the process of melding with that special one.

Walking in love, walking into love, is finding yourself in LOVE.
