We can remain in a state of love when we recognize that everyone is doing the best they can to get their needs met. –Eckhart Tolle

To have a deep, connective and intimate love, we have to at some point peel off our masks and unveil our truth. Because under it all, our hearts are beautiful. What’s not beautiful is blaming, defensiveness, perfectionism, stonewalling (ignoring).

If my needs of unconditional love were never met as a child, I’m in fear that they never will be (by someone else) and I think what I’ve learned is that they may not be.
