This is the sweetest and most painful lesson to learn. Love is meant to be given and the love that is received is the love that is saved.

I often write about how love is a renewable resource and time is not. The interplay between those two is like being on a tiny raft in the middle of a hurricane at times, but we let the currents take us. A new port of call in a new land filled with possibilities.

Writers, artists, creators like us suffer sometimes because we tend to get closer to the source of these tender, powerful, and volatile emotions. But that’s not a bad thing.

Heartbreaks are terrible, but you know what? It isn’t on you, it just means you have so much love to give and they couldn’t receive it. Your nephew, your family, all of us on Medium, we receive your love and some of us will give it back to you. That’s the love that is saved. Hold onto that.
