Love Lifted Me

Haiku

Guest Prompt Week 3, Day 2: “If you’ve chosen to focus on a particular word for the year 2021, what are your experiences and insights from embodying and reflecting on this word for the past half year?”

I had an idea once to start a charity and call it Love Lifted Me Charities. I have since changed the name to something else that made more sense for the mission that I am trying to execute. But I wholeheartedly believe that love can lift anyone or anything out of despair. It lifted me out of some dark moments in my life. Hence the reason I wanted to share the message of the power of love to those who I would be helping.

love has lifted me through the darkness I found light my soul is restored.

When we become adults, we are expected to create our own paths. There is no written manuscript on how we should live our lives. Surely, we can mimic or get advice from others, or perhaps follow the cookie cutter blueprint created by society.

But what does that mean for the individual? It is not meant for us to have the same life experiences. We all have unique lives that we create as we travel on our individual journeys. It took a long time for me to realize that I was in control of my life and with this revelation, I discovered that I have spent much of my life in search of something that I believed was missing — love.

For the past few months in 2021, I have focused on love. I believe it to be the purest essence of our being. Love has taught me patience, it has taught me to be more understanding. Love has taught me to forgive, and it has taught me to let go of being so demanding. Love has taught me to accept those around me for being at their level of consciousness.

Love has reconnected my soul to nature and its beauty. Love has taught me to be kind to all those that I encounter daily. Love has taught me to smile more and to be grateful for all my blessings. Love has taught me to let go of my ego and listen to my heart. Love has taught me that it was present in my life from the very start. Love has taught me that there is always light even in the darkest spaces. And most importantly, love has taught me to love myself unconditionally.

Let love guide your way for it lifted me out of the darkness and delivered me to my light.

Bingz Huang, as I sit and write these words, my heart is overwhelmed with joy. I am extremely grateful for this self-reflective topic. I am on this path of self-discovery, and it was love that has lifted me and triggered this very journey. I am excited for the future and what it will bring. The only beacon that I will use to guide my way is the love that will be present in my heart each and every day.
