Dear Luvlee,
Once upon a time there was a girl who didn’t believe in love,
She was hurt by people who were supposed to protect her,
So she was forced to grow up quickly, and to find trust in herself.
She couldn’t trust love, or other people. She didn’t feel safe, so she avoided.
She was known for short term casual relationships,
until one day she met a boy that wouldn’t allow her to run.
He was patient, he was persistent in a way that didn’t feel like pressure,
And slowly she started to open her mind to the idea long-term,
and her heart started thawing and pieces of trust, care and genuine love slowly
Made it’s way into her heart.
After the relationship ended, there was gratitude and pure love that remained.
An appreciation for the gift of learning how to love another human in a way
that was never taught to her.
He wasn’t her savior or knight in shining armor. Their relationship wasn’t a fairytale.
It was real, raw, and full of challenges — each one teaching her not just about love,
but also about herself.
She learned what felt good for her heart and recognized that endings are not failures,
but can bring beautiful beginnings.
When they parted, they parted as friends with a deep respect and appreciation for each other.
Unconditional love exists, not in the way movies and tv shows sometimes portray,
but in the realness of shared experience and genuine care.
Over the years, she’s learned to let more people in slowly.
She has a soul family that she knows was sent by the universe.
She’s been blessed with adventure, love, kindness
and the ever-expanding understanding of just how wonderfully protected she is.
Although this story isn’t a happily ever after for the two lovers,
it is a happily ever after for the girl who became a woman who understands how strong she is
and how love in all forms, romantic, platonic, familiar, etc. feeds the soul.
May this letter reach anyone who may need a little food for the soul.
You are loved, even if you don’t know what that means.
-Luvlee B 😘
Whispers for the heart, from the heart
