I truly began to understand love when I truly began to understand freedom. They go hand in hand. Love is a vibration encompassing you. It must first be developed fully for yourself.
Once you master self-love, you can start to feel why love is really just a true release from anything else. You can give it freely, knowing you don’t need it back because you have plenty. You can detach from it because you don’t need to fight for it to fill you up since you’re whole all on your own. Whoever you love is free to be who they are because it has nothing to do with who you are!
