Love - The Best Life Offers.
Amore fati, amor vitae: For the love of fate, for the love of life.
It’s a sacred bond that spins a net of positivity through our lives, through our society. It is the essential feeling that creates life, the ultimate instance of right and wrong, and the most beautiful source of energy.
Love gives courage and strength.
Loving Deeply Gives You Courage. Being Deeply Loved Gives you Strength.
Love starts from within.
Love yourself, then you shall love free and fully.
Truth: we share to live.
The very essence of life is about sharing - cells that duplicate, share their DNA to replicate are the origin of life.
To share is to manifest love and life.
Love makes us grow together, and we radiate passion for everything we do. Sharing is our manifestation of love, of life.
Truth: we connect.
Your best self attracts.
I believe in the laws of attraction, meaning that what I radiate, display and communicate will be appreciated by those with similar traits.
I want to be interdependent - but what does that mean?
I love to connect, to share, and to love. To me, it seems I am my very best when I am in a loving relationship. Something in me just sees more purpose and brightness in a life shared.
There are many ways, people can form strong bonds. I want to pick out two, that personally, mean / meant a lot to me:
- Codependency: a dynamic described as with e.g. poor/no boundaries, people-pleasing behaviors, reactivity, manipulation, difficulty with emotional intimacy, controlling behaviors and the lack of personal interests or goals outside the relationship.
In short: not the sustainable, long term relationship of your dreams.
Codependency involves someone who has lost their core sense of self, so that his or her thinking and behavior revolves around someone or something external, including a person, a substance, or an activity, such as sex or gambling.

To me, codependency used to be a problem (e.g. source of self-esteem, people pleasing and the morphing into one entity), it's easy to fall into these traits in a rather stressful day to day.
However, more recently I have lead a different type of relationship that requires work and dedication at first, but the benefits are increasing over time.
- Interdependency: is practically the opposite, involves a balance of self and others within the relationship, recognizing that both partners are working to be present and meet each other's physical and emotional needs in appropriate and meaningful ways. There's clear communication and boudaries present and presonal resposibility for behaviours is taken.
Like I write in Emotions, I primarily watch out for self directed love as a measure of authenticity. It seems that it's much easier to lead a healthy, interdependent relationship when living with integrity to my principles and those of my partner.
