Love Heals All

Its amazing how much can happen in just two weeks. Its even more amazing when you don't even have to move a single mile for your heart to have a 180 degree change.
These past two weeks have made me a brand new person. The people I have been with in this time have contributed to my emotional growth a lot.
I don't really know how to explain my internal growth. I don't have the words to tell you how I have changed exactly.
Maybe I could put it simply by saying that I am more 'me' now, than I have been in a long time.
I feel less insecure. I feel comfortable in my own skin. I suppose I feel this way because the fore mentioned people made me feel confident in myself. They made me feel like the real me is appreciated, you know?
I felt like I had no reason to hold back my feelings. I felt like there was no reason to restrain from doing what I want to do because I'm not doing anything wrong.
Being with them made me feel Loved. As they say, Love is the greatest healer. and That is what has happened. My heart has been healed by Love, affection.
I owe it All to Allah. He brought me loving people right when I needed them the most.
Now, these people have a Permanent place in my heart. They will Always mean the world to me. & I just think its so funny how we were practically strangers before they came to visit. Yet in this brief period of time, they have become family. More than family, they feel like an extension of myself. I say this because, I connect with them so well its like our souls are one.
Seriously, I'm not even kidding. You know sometimes you meet people who you feel like you've known your entire life? That's what I feel when I'm with them. They're the kind of people I don't have to be self-conscious around. I don't have to rehearse lines in my head to say to them. I don't have to carefully plan out a certain 'behavior' to adopt in front of them. & not even for a single second do I have to worry about offending them in any way. I can Literally Breathe with ease when I'm with them. My mind is so relaxed and carefree when I'm with them.
It is INSANELY Amazing to have known them intimately like I've been blessed to do.
Allah Taa'la, You can expect a gazillion words of Gratitude to You for blessing me with a companionship with the Saeed's. I will be FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU.
and even if you strip me of EVERYTHING I have right now, I will STILL be grateful to You for bringing the Saeeds into my life. Because I have learned over the course of my short life, that a Loving family is really all one needs.
THANKYOU ALLAH TAA'LA.

You Live and you learn to Love

Its been a long time since I've felt like I'm part of a family.
I have honestly felt really lonely in the past. My siblings, my parents, everyone a complete mystery to me. Everyone like a puzzle I just couldn't seem to figure out. I can't remember the last time I have felt 'emotionally-safe-and-sound' at home-if that makes any sense. But now, just recently, things have been so different.
My heart feels alive. The walls seem to be getting shorter, as I timidly remove brick by brick, making way for love to come in.
Though, I feel like, even though I'm opening up now, there's still that risk of getting hurt at the same time.
Reminds me of a saying on a pin up button I have : 'Love and pain are friends forever' :)
That is much too true.
I just don't know when to stop, when to start, how much to love, how much to hold back; things always seem out of balance when I open my heart.

Maybe there's a problem in the reasons I open my heart and what I expect to get back.
I want to be able to BE unconditional Love itself, so I never have to worry about give and take.
I want to Live to Love so every breath feels natural.
I NEED to BE Love, I don't want to Want Love.
I want to Give Love

something like that I guess, but I sure as heaven don't have a clue how to accomplish that.

Well, I'm in no hurry. I'm fine getting a hang of this one step at a time. Cause thats what life is all about-you live and you learn.
You Live and you learn to Love. :)
