SETTING LOVE FREE

What is it with love, that it keeps shifting with time and age. When you are a toddler, you cannot imagine your world without your parents, and as you enter your teenage, you put all your might to go against your parent’s wish and will. All your heart desire is to be liked and appreciated by your peers. A very small percentage of kids, get to become a popular star, rest live in their shadows or aspire to become as successful and admired one day. In all these intricacies of emotions, passions, and relationships, most of us get lost from our path to being happy and joyous, which is the essence of our being. 

We get busy in the mundane affairs and forget finding pleasures in the little things. We are unable to bask in the sunshine or dance in the rain. We do not stop to admire the flowers or the beautiful birds who sing all day around us. We continue with the trajectories of life, till one day the spurt of love cannot take it anymore and drive our course of life to self-discovery. It puts us on the path to forgiveness, self-healing and self-love. We start realising if we cannot accept ourselves, it will be difficult to let go of the situations or people who have hurt us in the past. 

With awareness comes the understanding, even if we don’t agree with what are parents say or do, we acknowledge that their actions are always based for our well-being. Above all, they want us to be happy. But it all get entangled with their belief system, their aspirations, their expectations, hence all the heart aches and sorrows at both the ends. Whole generations have to become aware if we want our future generations to be set free from the ties of judgement and expectations. Because if we don’t put the foundation of setting our loved ones free, the effervescent love will change its colour and course, and maybe its name as well.
