It's amazing how much love and trust is squashed out of us as children. People can only love as much as they know how to love, and so most of us are subject to a lot of limitation and fear, especially based on the relationships of past generations. Being in community really does bring out the truth about people, and there is really no place to hide with so many living mirrors looking back at us. We must first find the comfort within and love for ourselves, before we can truly be with others.
I feel we are all having to find our way, some of us a bit further away than others, but still there is the same potential for us all. I too hope you find your real community, a supportive one that holds space for the rising phoenix to emerge. I hope everyone does. We all need and deserve those connections that nourish our soul.
I'm so grateful to be a part of a cutting-edge, conscious community at the @gardenofeden, where returning to love is the answer.
We are building that kind of community here on Steemit. For me, it is the real reason for investing myself here. It would be great to do it together! <3
Thankyou for all your comments, I've literally got tears trickling down my face (in a good way) :)
