All my life I have been taught and led to believe that the kind of love I give is too much for this world. We are urged to hold back, to keep our emotions close to our chest rather than on our sleeves.
As I get older I have seen and felt the impact of this way of life on both myself and others. BPD has taken a lot from me, from my life. But it has gifted me with ability to love with everything I have. In the past I have questioned whether this intensity should be considered artificial, whether I should trust myself and my mind. Then I refer to one of the great philosophers of our time Albus Dumbledore 😉 who famously said
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

So I will leave you with this, love has the ability to change everything. It may not always be easy but it is always worth it. So I will carry on loving like my life depends on it.
