Think about how powerful this could be if we 'fall in love' with everyone. Not just one person, not just as a couple and our kids, but everyone on earth.
I've had this thought a lot lately too. I think learning to love one is the beginning of opening up to love many. Ideally it begins when you're a baby. Remember how intensely you loved your parents when you were little? (Maybe that intensity is still very much in evidence). Then your siblings and you're closest friends. When I'm having a wonderful time with my friends or comforting them through troubled times, I realise my feelings of love for them. This realisation was always there but it's more of a conscious thing now- a greater appreciation for the abundance of love in my life. It's different in quality to what you feel for your partner and kids but love nonetheless.
If you do have it both ways in a relationship I would imagine it would be a pretty awesome experience and way of life.
It is, Sash but sometimes you have to wait for the other person to play "catch-ups."
If you're hurting now, that will pass. We're here to love. Don't close yourself to it because it's a beautiful gift and you deserve it.
