The Search for Love: Finding Light Within Ourselves

As a psychotherapist, I often see clients struggling with the pattern of seeking love outside of themselves, sacrificing their inner light in hopes of receiving love in return. This search is often driven by the lack of love we feel within ourselves.

We make immense sacrifices, hoping that someone else will fill the void. This pursuit of external validation can be fleeting, and many give so much of their beautiful light for just a small piece of hope that love will be reciprocated. Unfortunately, this love is often not returned in equal measure, leaving us feeling depleted and unfulfilled.

When the light we’ve given goes out, we experience a painful fall—a crash that forces us to rebuild our fire without the other person. We are left wondering if they were ever truly there. Some of us continue to search for another person to keep our fire alight or to regain that spark of love, constantly looking outside of ourselves for fulfillment.

This endless search for external love is a pursuit of fantasy. True healing begins when we recognize this pattern and start nurturing the love and light within ourselves. By focusing on our own self-love, we can build a strong, enduring inner fire that doesn’t rely on others for its warmth.

Remember, the love you seek must start from within. Embrace your worthiness, and let your light shine brightly. In doing so, you create a life filled with genuine, reciprocal love, rather than the fleeting promise of a fantasy.
