Conditioned to “know” that love is given through victimization.

Perfection mitigates shame.

Good enough will stop the pain.

Unlearning that kind of false love- with no compensation.

No return of innocence.

No decline in hyper-vigilance.

Redefining my experiences to formulate a healthy interpretation.

Love is…. given to other people despite…

Love is…. hard work, attunement, a delight.

Conditioned to “know” that love is reflected through a relation.

Model your desire in the lives of others.

Create space for love to flow to all our brothers.
