Love In The ER

Experience will teach you what advice could not.

Sometimes it softens you.

Sometimes it sharpens you.

Sometimes, if you are not careful, it will take a warm heart and make it cold.

Not because the person changed completely.

Because life taught them protection before it taught them peace.

That is why Love In The ER matters.

Because emotional regulation is not pretending nothing hurt you.

It is learning what hurt you without letting it become you.

It is knowing your heart can be guarded without becoming hard.

Your mind can be changed.

Your perception can be healed.

Your conscience can be corrected.

But first, you have to be willing to look at what your experiences taught you.

The good.

The bad.

The ugly.

The indifferent.

Ask yourself:

What am I connected to?

What am I protecting?

What am I becoming?

Because everybody has a job.

The bird has a job.

The bee has a job.

The ant has a job.

Even the butterfly carries purpose after transformation.

So what is yours?

The thing God equipped you to do.

Becoming equipped is not easy.

It takes pain.

It takes work.

It takes faith.

It takes falling, failing, learning, and getting back up with wisdom.

You cannot sleep your way into purpose.

The only thing you can do while asleep is dream.

At some point, you have to wake up and put your faith to work.

Be a doer.

Be accountable for your peace.

Your growth.

What you allow, who you follow, and what you keep calling love.

Connections influence each other.

Cover each other.

Expose each other.

Knowing takes time.

Effort.

Experience.

Repair.

Love In The ER is not just poetry.

It is a mirror.

A warning.

A testimony.

A reminder that you can be broken and still be useful.

Guarded and still be good.

Equipped and still becoming.

Do you really know you?

Be accountable.

Get aligned.

You first.

Choose Accordingly.
