Love
As we have sprung forward at the beginning of March.
I have been reflecting on the word love and its definition of the word.
The definition of the word love is an intense feeling of deep affection.
The season brings out that and then some.
But despite the definition do we understand how to love?
A friend and I had a conversation about this and how during our lives we've been searching for love.
I mean the love you are supposed o feel according to the movies, the toes curling love. and yet we are now in our 50s and have still experienced that type of love.
I have spent the last three years trying to accept and love myself with all my faults.
I am not perfect nor have I ever thought I was perfect, in my head I created a love that was perfect with the husband and the white picket fence.
And it has yet to happen for me and a few others I know.
Love doesn't judge or criticize you for just being who you are.
Love doesn't go away or stop because a person isn't feeling you.
Love is unconditional and can bring you unmatched joy.
The best part is love is forever and lasting when it comes from a place of pure and unwavering.
Spring has sprung and with that knowledge, this love will find you, and when it does be prepared to receive a gift of the greatest joy.
Live, love, laugh

This poem is one from my book of poetry Something for the Soul
this kind of relates to baggage in a way hope you enjoy it and get something from it.
Two faces of me
I walk around with the two faces of me
the person I was born and the person I thought people wanted me to be.
I changed my name to fit in and find friends and a male companion
who was true or at least that's what I wanted them to be.
Things are no different from the life I thought I had escaped.
More drama, more lies, more abuse, no trust just hate.
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
The person I was born and the person I pretend to be.
The two faces of me
I've learned from those two faces of deceit.
I must grow into the being God made into from birth.
Carolyn was the person I became to escape my past have friends and be loved by a man.
I wasn't loving myself.
Carol Renee Dye I was born yet didn't like so I kept running cause I was afraid of I felt I wasn't.
Now I must shed those two faces of me
I want to learn to love, honor and respect myself for who I am.
So with a smile and faith from the king
I no longer need those two faces of me so just call me
Carol Renee.
