isn’t it so amazing that your dog/companion will always love every part of you? the good, the bad, even the parts you hate about yourself… there truly is no other love like this and there is no single person on this earth that will ever be able to love like they do.
we may think we are able to. but let’s be real, it’s impossible not to have thoughts of complaints or even something slightly negative about another person. we’re all human so each and every single one of us are flawed.
to be able to receive this type of love from your dog is one of a kind and if we’re lucky, we’ll experience it more than once in our lifetime. not that once isn’t enough, because it is more than enough. for me at least. but being able to go through the pain that comes after their passing is why i chose the word “lucky”. we all grieve differently and for some, the pain is too much to go through again. even though their love for us is infinite, the pain will be just as intense.
as someone who feels every emotion deeply, i’ve been learning to process them in a healthier way ◡̈ there is one thing that will never change about me though. being able to love fully even when i feel like i’ve reached my limit. i used to hate that about myself because life felt unfair. why can’t i stop loving someone even when it’s constantly hurting me? it surprises me how much more i can still give even when i’m on empty. now that i’m more confident and mentally stronger, i realize how amazing it is to be able to continuously feel this emotion and express it proudly.
this isn’t to boast about myself in any way. there are people that struggle to let themselves feel love or pain… and that’s even more difficult in my opinion. i think i would hate myself more if i was the one struggling to be vulnerable with my emotions because it hurts the person/people who are closest to you. but who knows. keep in mind, this isn’t how they want to be but how they protect themselves and that’s not a fault.
at the end of the day, we all just want one thing. love. (money too but if we’re chasing money, then we love money haha)
i’ve learned to be content with the love that i already have and… i think i’m happy or fully getting there soon ◡̈
this is just how i view things so it may or may not be true but it works for me. i wanted change and i wanted growth so i had to put in work. it’s never easy and it took me this long to reach where i’m at so i’m proud of myself. and this is just the beginning.
