LOVE FROM AFAR...




All relationships hit bumps from time to time, and THE hallmark of maintaining any relationship means one has to find THE ability to ride out the turbulence and somehow…someway remain intact. We LOVE others through ALL of their transitions, yet more time than not, that sentiment isn’t extended to us. So I’ve learned over the years that one has to find a way to embrace and appreciate the differences that set us apart from each other while NOT actually being apart of each other’s lives on a daily. This way we all can allow each other to be EXACTLY who we are and NO one has to end up feeling hurt OR taken advantage of.

Loving others from afar means NO stress from family, work OR other people that you deal with on a daily. MANY of us are VERY sensitive and put on a STRONG front, NEVER breathing a word about how others make you feel…but how long that last? How long before you break? Sweeping yourself under the rug makes for a bumpy rug that NEVER gets straightened out; and putting others before you while you wear a mask, NO matter how noble the mask, leads one to identify with and think they are the mask! Which will ultimately lead to your breaking point…So you MUST find a way to RISE IN REAL LOVE and know that just might mean that you HAVE to love others from afar…

Short changing yourself to make sure others are okay is NOT what life is supposed to be about! So why spend life continuously dealing with folks that are SET in their ways AND situations that WON’T change? The time to OWN our emotions AND who we are, is NOW! We need to live a life that is as peaceful as we can get it. So moving past the apprehension that we allow to keep us trapped needs is the FIRST step, which would undoubtedly lead to a feeling of liberation and enlightenment. This is because the act of making a clear connection between your circumstances and your feelings unravels the mystery that previously kept you from being in complete control of your emotional state. To give a voice to your feelings necessitates that you let them go. In the process, you naturally relax and rediscover your emotional equilibrium.

  1. I have this problem with my mother. I guess I'll have to learn to love her from afar. I was just thinking of something a dear friend once said, that you have to allow other people their faults, which I guess is similar to what you are saying, Gaytekeeper, but to hold on to yourself or not let their faults interfere with your being. It's a really tough task.

  2. I carry the world on my shoulders; bend over backwards - ESPECIALLY for people who don't deserve it; always hesitates to just say F**K it! to things that are of no good.

    I'm ashamed for others to have to see that I'm not as strong as I 'seem' to be & most especially am afraid to bother people with my issues, even if I'm dying to talk & just be 'weak'.

  3. I think you need to realize when you're wasting your time with somebody that won't change and that consequently won't make you happy, but I think it is also important to embrace the imperfections, and find a balance in the couple that takes them into consideration.

  5. Loving someone from afar can be problematic, but it can also be rewarding. In my past and at present I tend to love some friends and some family members from afar, the reason being,there are differences that doesn't allow the close free flow of love to be shared. Relationships are challenged when at a distance.
