@kristen1942: Love is your capacity to accept and integrate all parts of yourself, combined with the skill of letting go, reflected back to you from other people #Love #fyp
thought about it hard and the only way I can word this is that love is the moment of that self-realization of the feeling of love being evoked from within you instead of it being something you receive.

In All About Love, bell hooks offers a borrowed definition of love: “The will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.”Self-love is the cornerstone of our ability to love and be loved. It is only through self-compassion that we can both discover the self that has been hiding, and offer it authentically to another in the face of potential rejection.

I believe in romantic relationships, the love we feel is actually us loving the way the relationship makes us feel. It’s not them that we love, it’s the version we are when we’re with them.

Yes, I left my first marriage when I saw the call was coming from inside my house, the love was from me…

I think love is a selfless act - you are giving your energy, time, care to others.

I am not sure I fully agree with this take, @Kristen. I might pose that openness to love is those things you name, not that what you named is love itself. I always appreciate your ponderings. Thanks for sharing.

OMG i've been wrestling with this all day. I had i love yous pouring in until I decided to take what I call the Percephone decent. it took two years to uncover and actually meet myself, embrace my shadows, and truely love myself. not many stayed. thats OK , I can use my wisdom and self love to be someone else's Hecate.

This kind of reminds me of Charlie Goldsmith’s book Human Medicine. It’s about emotions. He’s the energy healer that had the show on TLC several years ago

One of my stories rewrote narcissus as a person who pushes through the surface level of the lake, drown old self, then meets the world from the self out

two of my weekly live sessions were on receiving love. we refined a field model of love, with the concept of recognizing the interference pattern associated with our broad definition of love
