Love Someone Broken
And appreciate the innate human beauty inside them
(Disclaimer: This doesn’t mean you should love someone to fix them, or someone who’s abusive or manipulative. To clarify, I am solely refering to healthy love in this post: love that accepts and believes in the good of you, but also challenges you to be better and a more compassionate person.)
“To find someone broken and be able to make them feel beautiful, that alone may be the most fulfilling thing to do in the world.” — Robert M Drake
Love someone that they feel empowered by feeling accepted for who they are, making them feel cherished, believed in, seen and heard.
For instance, by hugging them, you express how much you appreciate them, and in this way, you accept them in their human beauty and relish in your togetherness as two imperfectly perfect human beings.
And in turn, you also speak to your inner child and tell her/him that you accept and love them.
To gift someone with the love that sets them free and tells them, “hey, dear, I am here for you, even and especially if you feel lost, not worthy or broken. I relinquish all judgement and am devoted to loving all your parts: your quirkiness, how you walk and carry yourself, your idiosyncratic nature, what makes you who you are, your silly thoughts and behaviors, your moods, and all that.. makes up the wonderful innate beauty that resides in you.”
And in loving someone broken, you heal them by letting them see themself without their sense of injury or loneliness and thereby gift them with a perspective of beauty and loveliness that instills them with calm and tranquility.
“To be human is to be broken and broken is its own kind of beautiful.” ― Robert M Drake
