Recognizing Love In Your Atmosphere

Words by Te-Erika

It is possible that you have closed off your heart due to some failed attempt at love. You may have vowed never to risk the pain again causing you to run away from anything that even looks like it could potentially chip away at your stone heart.

Although you have stood your ground, back firmly pressed against the door, refusing to let love in, allow me to share a few signs that love has not escaped you.

1. You receive a package from a family member and you unwrap it finding that t-shirt that you had been admiring on the internet.
2. You receive a phone call and someone shares their good news with you.
3. Your car breaks down and your neighbor shows up to help you fix it.
4. You can’t seem to understand the directions to the new laptop you just bought and your friend stays on the phone with you until you figure it out.
5. You rant and rave about how hurt you are over your last relationship and someone listens, affirms you and gives you a hug.
6. A co-worker stops by your desk just to say hello and tease you about your new shoes.
7. You were fearful about sharing the newly set goals for your life but when you do, your friend smiles at you and tells you that you are well on your way to becoming a millionaire.
8. You order food from a familiar restaurant and when you receive your purchase the cashier has added extra sauce and napkins because he remembers that you always ask for them.

Love comes in many forms. Don’t allow the absence of your perceived love to negate the small signs that love really is all around you.
