Welcome to my Blog ~ Slow Love
A Love-Letter to my Self ~ the journey starts here
Dear Self,
About 2 or 3 nights ago I woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly knew that I wanted to write you (“me”) a love letter. A letter in which I express how much I love you, how happy I am to be this me, how grateful I feel to be in this body in this life.
In addition to that gratitude and all the love I feel for you (for you as a human being, you as a soul, you as a personality), I would also like to apologize for all the harm I caused you to experience as a human being, for the unhealthy experiences your body had to undergo. as well as for all the pain and sadness and the survival mechanisms that resulted from this.
I love you dearly and wish you all the happiness and love in your life. I know that sometimes it can feel so incredibly intense when you feel the pure love (for that special other) flowing through you. Know that you can only feel that love so intensely because this love already flows through you, is already present in you, that you are that love.
I also know how caring you are for the inner little girl in you, how she feels more and more comfortable to show what lives inside her, to dare to be herself in freedom, to radiate from love without fear of pain, for sadness, for rejection. I know you will always be there for her through all the emotions and feelings that reveal themselves. She finally feels the safety to experience joy again, to show herself, to make herself heard. What a beautiful girl, what a beautiful woman, what a beautiful person you are. Thank you for being pure.
Thank you for your honesty, for your sincerity, for being true to yourself. Thank you also for all the love you give and share with others. Thank you for your openness, for being open to growth and development. Thank you also for finally daring to acknowledge yourself, for finally feeling that you are good enough. To me you are a pure uncut diamond, authentic and unique in your being.
Thank you also for your inner strength and the beautiful friendships that you have experienced in dark times. Thank you for all the beautiful people, friends and family who have crossed your path and the new insights and experiences they have given you. Thanks also to this body and all the individual cells; how beautiful is the collaboration between all these, how well is everything coordinated. And so grateful that you as a human being increasingly understand the messages from your body and that you are increasingly able to attune to them.
Tears of joy and happiness increasingly roll down your cheeks, even tears when you can feel the overwhelming love. The love that feels so unconditional and that can touch you so intensely at the same time. Feeling the powerlessness in that special other person, not being able or daring to be completely and freely be himself. At the same time, also realizing that this other person also has his own path to follow. I see how it affects you.
I also see how you feel more and more what is healthy for you in relating to a (dear) other person. I also see that, more and more out of love for yourself, you are letting go of that special other. I also know that your door always remains open, but that you’ll now have to continue on your own path.
Your path to realizing your own dreams and therefore also the dream that you have a loving intimate relationship with someone, a special someone who also wants to choose you. Someone who consciously wants to continue on the path of life with you, to grow together in consciousness, with respect for and towards each other, on the basis of equality and unconditional love. To experience loving intimacy and sexuality together with this special other person; the coming together in a sacred marriage between the masculine and the feminine energies.
No matter how painful it feels for you that you cannot share this with that special other person who is in your life right now. However strongly you may feel that on a soul level, based on that one time when your energies physically merged, I feel so incredibly grateful that you now dare and want to choose for yourself. That you now look and act on what is good for YOU! And that in this movement, in this transformation, you will still be there out of love for the other person.
I think it's so wonderful that you stay true to yourself. Also to choose this while it can be so easy to move in the same way (because the other person does so and so). I also have an enormous respect for you for being fully aware of all the frustrations, irritations, pain and sadness that this process entails and for wanting to consciously reflect on this. That you let your feelings and emotions be completely there, no longer hiding them away or escaping into all kinds of substances or activities. I also know that we still have a way to go before all the layers are peeled off. The question remains if it will ever come to that. What I do know, is that only love and light will remain.
Dear me, dear you, beautiful you, loving you! As I have already written, I love you infinitely. I sincerely hope that you’ll fulfill your life's dreams, that you can also contribute to the path of awareness and living in connection from love and the heart, with others. I wish that your future life will unfold in prosperity and abundance, that you may bring love and light into the world and that you may also receive it in proportion.
That you can mean something in the lives of others with all of your being: from love, from wholeness, from unity, from loving respect and sincerity towards and for the other... but especially to yourself. I hope that by writing this love letter to yourself, you may consciously feel and experience what a beautiful person you truly are. May you also know (without craziness or arrogance) that you are a gift for life itself. Increasingly becoming, or perhaps already being, the embodiment of love. That you can trust what life brings you, what life gives you and lets you experience. That you are loved unconditionally, that you are cared for. That you are the sun that brings light and love to the world as well as to yourself.
Dear Self, I love you so very much, your whole being, your loving person, your beautiful body, your embodiment of this humanity of your soul. Thank you for this beautiful realization, thank you for this life! I hope that we can spend many more years together here on earth, in love and light, that we may mean something out of gentleness, peace and love.
Love from me <3
