The well from which we draw our love to give to other people, should never be only as deep as the well wherein resides the love we have already received in our lives. The cycle must be broken. The former well must be abandoned and we must create a love in our hearts for others, from the bricks and the mortar of our own visions. Our raw materials must come not only from what we received; but our raw materials must come from what we envision to create. From your desires and your visions– your bricks and mortar should materialize. And if your former well is completely empty and dry– so what– you don't owe it to your past, to the people who hurt you, to make that emptiness and that void, your place for drawing water from! . C.
