Dear Lover Girl
An ode to the lover girl
The term “lover girl” has evolved into a modern archetype of a hopeless romantic. The hopeless romantic that wears her heart on her sleeve and gives her love fiercely and fully to who she chooses. The receiver experiences a pure, unconditional love that gives everything but expects nothing in return. The love that makes someone believe they are whole again, that reignites confidence and belief in one’s self. It’s the kind of love that transforms a blank canvas to a vibrant masterpiece, that molds raw clay into beautiful stoic, chiseled sculpture, a few ingredients into a slow home cooked meal that tastes tender and warm.
The love is alchemy. The love that feels like adding the last puzzle piece. A gentle love that allows mistakes and encourages self compassion. A passionate love that demands the highest form of respect and honor. The love that moves forward with no judgement and allowance. Fierce but gentle, strong but soft. A love that roars loudly and whispers softly.
Lover girl knows how to love, and loves well. May we all choose to love ourselves like the lover girl chooses to love a blank canvas - without fear, will full commitment and the belief that we are worthy of the love we give.
My understanding of “lover girl”, has shifted. She is not only the giver but the receiver of this love. She tends and honors the love she carries in her heart knowing it is magic- able to transform a person and circumstance instantaneously. The lover girl chooses to honor and show up for herself and leads life with sincere honesty, accountability and authenticity. She welcomes pain, sadness, and vulnerability with open arms transcending the feelings of discomfort to power, growth and wisdom.
May we all love each other and ourselves like the lover girl that loves - a magical love will appear.
