ok i began pondering this for some reason. feeling love varies in a lot of hues. is it possible to be numb to it or not really feel it anymore? could it be a phase, transition, or just the mind/stories getting in the way?💙🙏🙏🙏

thanks, thoughts anyone

For me feeling numb to love or feeling absence of love is equal to depression and lack of motivation. Love definitely feels different in various "hues" as you said. My love for my children is much different than my love for my husband, my friends, etc. It changes over time, but love never dies. It's like energy. It may morph into something else, but it doesn't disappear. Our psychological defense mechanisms can cause blockage to feelings of love when we have been hurt or deceived by one we love. It also can happen when we lose someone to death. My mom is afraid to re-marry or fall in love again because she doesn't want to watch another husband die...or the other way around. The key is to love ourselves 1st and not build our entire life around others. For when they inevitably let you down (because people never live up to expectations of others) it hurts. It's devastating if your entire motivation and happiness is wrapped up in that person you love. Infatuation and unhealthy attachment is often part of young love. I was there. On several occasions 😆 I don't think I need to ever go back for that lesson again. I sure hope not. 🙏 Hope my long ramble made sense😊
