I also believe that love isn't consistent. It does come and go and we have control over that ourselves. When someone you love looks at you and you feel the love returned, it grows. The love grows and makes you love yourself, too. It's the same with hate. If someone hates me, I can feel that and it makes me angry and unhappy.. and I can act in hateful ways. Love works the same way, if I feel like I'm loved, then I'm happy and loving in return. Somehow, I'm able to love my children more effectively than I have before. I'm able to look at my ex- and appreciate things about him, even to feel kinship, without having to judge him for the things I don't like.
Maybe it's not love. Maybe this T gave me acceptance, for a brief period of time, maybe it was acceptance that was in the look. It doesn't really matter. The fact is that my life is better now and I have actually felt love, and it is really an incredible emotion. The emotion of love is full of hope, acceptance, and the desire to give the best of myself. Whew. It's confusing when it happens with a T.
