Matters of Love

Guest Prompt Week 1, Day 2: Riku Arikiri — Do you willingly take risks, knowing you might fail regarding matters of love?

I work to love as unconditionally as possible. This in itself is risky. If you are a stranger or an acquaintance I know from a business I frequent I will engage you. I will smile and say hello. I will make eye contact while we talk. I will work to make you laugh or smile, at least to brighten your day. I will thank you for helping me. If you are my waiter or waitress each time you bring me something or ask me a question I will thank you. Why? Because you are a person and means you have earned the right to be treated politely and with respect. I am trying to may my meal as wonderful as possible and you are part of that experience. I will thank you when you bring my check and I will tip you.

If you are a friend I will help you within my boundaries. I might choose to bend those boundaries a little. Please do not expect me to do that. Expecting me to change my boundaries is the quickest way to have them raised back up and red flags to go off in my head. I can be very caring and giving. I can be a person to confide in, I can be a person that when asked will offer advice. I can be a sanctuary if you need it.

If you are one of my close friends that have earned that title by us proving ourselves to each other time after time building and earning trust then you can expect my support when it is needed. I will be honest when asked a question if you want the answer. You know if you need my time and it is available it is yours. You know my boundaries most likely and respect them. You know there are things I might offer and some that you can ask but know it is my choice and respect that. My true friends are few but much respected.

I too tend to follow my intuition. My intuition has generally guided me well. That have been times that it has failed me with friends and acquaintances and I took the hit. Loving unconditionally can have that result. I used that as lessons learned and tried to grow in that situation. These matters of love I have done well in I believe.

There was a time in my life that I also took risks for romantic love. I have had several relationships but not too many very serious ones. I have been hurt in them like everyone else. I have come to realize in my shadow work that in the past I have thought my intuition was guiding me in possible relationships but although I thought I was listening to my intuition I was listening to past hurt and trauma disguising itself as intuition. I am sure my mind did this to try to protect me from being hurt again. It also prevented me from further healing and growth. I could have sabotaged meaningful relationships.

I don’t know if there will be more romantic relationships in my life. I am okay either way. I do want it to be my intuition and heart that are guiding me in the future on whether to risk knowing I might fail again. I am working on healing that part of me and not being fooled by an imposter again.

Peace be with you
