LOVE is free — humans attach value and meaning with a hidden desire to be paid back, but love is its own gift that arrives untethered to any cost for receiving

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~💓💓💓~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOVE is never at fault — it’s ego that clouds judgement and holds us prisoners inside our hearts and minds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~💓💓💓~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOVE is not a game to be played — our maneuvers are pointless, love flows in its own time and place, with free will to land wherever it desires

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~💓💓💓~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOVE travels like stardust floating throughout the universe until light pins it to another deserving soul — we all deserve it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~💓💓💓~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOVE is a gift to be wrapped, unwrapped, rewrapped, and gifted many times throughout life — it’s the only gift worth giving and receiving
