Be Loved, Not Liked: Essay

 

Be Loved, Not Liked

When someone helps you, and they are struggling too like you, this is not help, this is love. Dinging ringing, dinging ringing. Do not change, be yourself, and people will love you for what you are and are born to be, the beautiful self. Love lifts you up. Strong women have courage and confidence – you will dust yourself off and will start all over again, avoiding tears and pain, pain and tears. You deserved to be loved, not liked, not lusted, not settled, but loved.

I think that sorrow and joy could live together. It is possible the next person who will love you well be devoted to protection of your heart like a real hero will be able to kiss away the pain. Protecting the heart is not a duty or any help, it is love. Dinging ringing, dinging ringing.

What is more valuable than love? The answer is trust. You cannot love someone without trust. Without trust love cannot flourish and grow. For any connection to grow into relationship of two hearts, it must reflect on the value of trust. Trust and loyalty are the pathways to connection of two devoted hearts. To handle two hearts is a large responsibility, honor, and privilege when you love, not liked.
