We talk about releasing expectations and attachments and also about knowing what you need vs. being needy.
But those things still happen.
Sometimes if it’s not for the best, you can catch and release. Catch yourself going into those modes. Then simply let go.
Or if they’re of the highest order, they’ll serve you positively. Because I know that I need someone to fully support my happiness. That is a positive need that serves to attract and manifest exactly that. And I do expect that this person will see me, not only at my best, but also in my deepest, darkest states. In my most vulnerable states. In my most emotional moods. I expect someone to see the full spectrum of who I am.
And as I love unconditionally, I recognize that it forms an attachment that is like a bond made of steel cable. All other strings can be cut, and only love remains.
That kind of attachment serves my highest purpose: simply to love. But in this process I will find other attachments. I will feel disappointed, hurt, and heartbroken. I will know when things aren’t right by the feelings I get and recognize that I have made attachments that will be cut. And I know how it feels to have an attachment and release it. Sometimes it hurts like a gut-wrenching pain. The attachment is only there because I had a resistance of some kind–something that I was gaining from it–that I wasn’t yet ready to let go of.
And once I did, I liberated myself–from myself. For those attachments only served to show me where I still had attachments. They were there so my internal beliefs, values, and desires could be reflected back to me. For even better alignment with myself.
Purpose=served.
Thank you.
