The powerlessness in love

Image
“The pain of unreturned love is a reminder that love is a gift, not a transaction.” – Unknown There's this term I have recently stumbled upon that I haven't been able to shake off:  unrequited love . Sometimes called one-sided love— it’s when one person has strong feelings for someone who doesn’t feel the same way in return. And I think that's exactly where I find myself, loving someone who doesn't love me back, or maybe they do, but it's not in the way I need, not with the same clarity, not with the same depth. It's hard to say, all I know is that I'm loving into silence, into uncertainty, into the unknown. This is a kind of love that is not loud, it's not demanding, and it does not ask for too much. It just stays quiet, it's patient, and as time goes on, it begins to feel like a slow surrender, a powerlessness you never expected to feel. It's not dramatic either; it's just...waiting. Hoping, praying, and sitting with the ache of love that ...

Logic vs Feelings

  "Thinking and feeling are inextricably linked." ~Leonard  Mlodinow Sometimes in life, we have to make difficult decisions, and in those instances, logic seems to clash with our feelings, and the line between what should be done and what we want is blurred. I have recently found myself in the same situation where I kept contemplating what seemed like an obvious decision.

Logically, it made sense. The pattern was clear. And yet, I still found myself torn—because my heart wasn’t aligned with what my head and everyone else was telling me. I loved him. And even though that love had been tested more times than I can count, it was still there, quietly shapi...

The search for meaning: My journey to wholeness. Defining wholeness: what it means to me? Wholeness is a complex term, people could interpret it differently. To one wholeness could mean feeling content with one's life, despite the challenges one may be going through. To another wholeness could mean finding joy or happiness, being successful, it could mean achieving lifelong goals. There are many interpretations of this term, from superficial to detailed and profound definitions. But what does it mean to me, what does it mean in the context of 'The Journal of a Seeking Soul'? Wholeness is a state of being aware. Being aware of yourself and others, aware of the spiritual realm and the physical.  Wholeness is about finding purpose and you would think that this is a contradiction as the term wholeness speaks to a full picture, a picture of completion, but I truly believe that no matter how hard you try to work on yourself, you'll always feel that there is so much more you c...
