Something that's popping up is that falling in love, if you can call it that, never felt like peace. It was exciting and all, but the deep sense of contentment that I longed to feel wasn't there? Falling in love in a non-romantic way has just felt way more 'peace and calm'. Maybe it was a matter of being in the wrong relationship.
I hope that this idea I have of love is just a sign of my amateurish existence.
hugs, all of are still learning, no matter our age
that peace and calm comes with romantic love too
I found in an earlier relationship I was often agitated, an energetic unease , to me excitement is more anticipation of good things or positive energy
