I love from my personal power.
My power
creates healthy love,
which manifests itself through
caring, knowledge,
responsibility, and respect.
My love is a reflection of my free choice
and my ability to respond powerfully.
Love is romanticized as a mystifying
random whirl of passion
that happens to us.
Falling in love is thought to be the culmination of love.
Yet, love is only meaningful and lasting
when a person chooses to love responsibility
and welcomes the opportunity
to allow love to grow and deepen with time.
I will love myself by genuinely
caring for my own well being.
I will choose to love those people
who deserve my love
and respect its strength and power.
