The Truth About Love and Approval
~ Written February 8, 2025.
Reflections on seeking love and approval, the emptiness of unmet hearts, and the undeniable truth of authentic love.
“If you don’t get love and approval from someone who doesn’t even love and approve of their own self, what have you lost?”
Looking for love and acceptance from those with empty or scarcely filled cupboards is the surest way to suffering. Folks can’t freely give what they don’t have themselves. In this truth, the universe has assured us… authentic love can never be faked.
