Surviving Love (Part 1), is my topic on this week’s “Bleeding Heart Chronicles”. Good morning, love. No matter how much you study or devote your time to the concept of love, it simply doesn’t make sense. Why is it that some people we care about, we can walk away so easy, and yet others we seem to never recover from. Even when we see they are no good for us, we still miss them like crazy! Ironically that is crazy, but it does happen to many of us at some point in our life.

I‘ve had many ask me several really good questions over the years in regards to love. And I think they are all good points of interest. Do we really need love? Can a person live without love? As humans why do we fall in love? Can Love Survive Without Passion? What is real love like? Do we ever stop loving someone? How do I know I’m in love? How do you move on from someone you really love? These are questions we will explore in this article and the ones that follow.

Do we really need love?
[gap size=”6px”]
Love is a Basic Human Need. Love and belonging are part of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. What is Maslow’s hierarchy? Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up. So, it starts from the bottom and works it way up. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.

Physiological needs – is air, water, food, shelter, sleep, clothing and reproduction. Safety needs – include personal security, employment, resources, health and property. Love and belonging – includes friendship, intimacy, family, sense of connection. Esteem – covers respect, self-esteem, status, recognition, strength, freedom. Self-actualization is desire to become the most that one can be.

So as you see, once one’s physiological needs such as breathing, water, food, etc. and the feeling of security and safety are met, a person needs to feel love and belonging in order to grow. Without it, chances of being complete and getting the most out of life will prevent you from being all you can be and rob you of your happiness.

Can a person live without love?
[gap size=”6px”]
As we covered in the above paragraphs, that is not truly possible. To live without loving is merely existing, not living. To be truly alive, to live, to feel, one must have someone to love and be loved in return. And if you love someone who doesn’t love you back, that can be the greatest pain and burning sensation in your heart. For it is truly denial of a basic human need.

We will cover more of this topic and answer questions in part 2.

We live in a world of struggling love. We are shaped and fashioned by what and who we love. It takes courage to love, for we know the pain and vulnerability it can offer us. But we should not be so afraid of the pain love brings that we shut ourselves up. Giving out nothing, receiving nothing and shrink until our life is a living death. Love can offer the greatest feeling. We must never give up or surrender. As always. I stand with you. I bleed with you. We will pursue a brighter day and happiness in our life. We will survive Love. Because Together we are unstoppable, my love! WE will find our love! Always and forever!
