The one thing I want to learn the most, and that is also the hardest for me, is the ability to love.
Growing up, I discovered that my environment was filled with anger, disappointment, and frustration. I wanted to love, but the outcomes often fell short of my expectations.
Over time, I learned to shut down. Suppressing my emotions might have seemed like a way to protect myself, but in truth, it only made me miserable and angry. Research shows that bottling up emotions can increase stress levels, harm our mental health, and even contribute to physical issues such as a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease. This suppression disconnected me from others and, most importantly, from myself.
Now, I am learning to approach my emotions differently. I am working to reverse engineer my triggers, identifying why certain moments affect me so deeply. By reflecting on my past experiences and understanding their roots, I hope to resolve them so I can move forward in life with more love, both for myself and for others.
If I have a choice, I want to love the people around me unconditionally, regardless of their behavior or actions. Studies suggest that practicing compassion and unconditional love is not just a gift to others, it is a profound gift to ourselves. When we are kind and loving toward others, we feel love and connection in return. When we are unkind or distant, we often end up feeling isolated and miserable.
This journey has taught me that love is not about perfection. It is about presence. It is not about waiting until someone earns your love, but about showing up fully and sharing it freely.
It is not easy. Some days, loving unconditionally feels like the hardest thing in the world. It challenges our ego, our patience, and our need for control. Yet, it is in these moments of challenge that love becomes the most transformative.
I am learning that love is not just a gift to others, it is a gift to ourselves as well.
