Love is a powerful emotion with highs and lows. The moment you fall in love, the world seems beautiful and attainable. You smile every day even when it’s bad because you know at the end of that day, you will get to talk to your favorite person. The love of your life. They can make any situation better just by being themselves, loving on you, and showing you how you can count on them to be there. On the other side of love is the hurt and heartbreak. Love can and will crash and burn. That is okay. To have loved and lost is natural and is not the end of the world. Although, at the time it may seem true.
However, if you are like me, a hopeless romantic, you are always looking for your happily ever after, even when the thought of falling in love again seems impossible. At this very moment in my life, I am finally ready to fall back in love. It has been a year and a half since I ended a four-year relationship. Man, it is scary, yet exhilarating as I ready to receive love. Although I have grown more cautious in the love department, I believe it is still worth the risk. I say all this to say, be bold and let love in. Find that piece of happiness again. To help you along the way are eight original affirmations to remind you to try love once more.
