Loved Out loud

"I DESERVE TO BE LOVED OUT-LOUD!" is a sentence I posted on my Facebook page and in my Instagram story a few months ago and I meant it. Some of you might be thinking that to be loved out loud is to be posted all over social media. Well, nope that is not what I meant by this phrase. What I mean is for the person who is in love with me and I with them to love me out loud in their world. If they have children, or their parents are still living, I would like to be a part of that world. Get to know their best friend and the most important people in their lives. That tells me that I mean something to them, and hopefully we are in it for the long haul.

There is a certain ache that lingers in silence. A love that is quiet, hidden, or conditional never quite settles in the soul. That type of love leaves us wondering, second guessing and questioning our worth. To be loved out loud, that is something different and beautiful. That is healing.

To be loved out loud means being chosen in public, cherished openly, and celebrated consistently. For me, it's someone holding my hand in daylight, speaking my name with conviction, and making sure their world knows they are better because I am a part of it.

Like I said above, it's not about social media posts, nor is it about grand gestures although, those can be nice. Loving me out loud is in the consistent and intentional ways that my partner, my soul mate, my lover shows up. He doesn't show up only when it's convenient, but also when it counts. Loving me out loud is when he speaks my love language fluently. It's when He defends my name in rooms I am not in, or when he says, "I am his person" and he means it.

So many of us, including myself, have known love that has made me shrink. A love that asked me to wait in the wings or made me feel like secret. I mean, at one point in my life, I was a secret. I accepted crumbs because I was starving and didn't realize my self-worth, but now, I know better.

I deserve a LOVE that doesn't whisper or hide and honors me aloud. Scream my name from the mountain top to the bedroom! Wink Wink

So, if like me you are waiting for that kind of love, just hold on and keep your faith. Don't settle for a muted version of something that should be music to your ears. You and I were never meant to be someone's maybe, or a hidden chapter in their story.

WE ARE WORTHY OF BEING A HIGHLIGHT!

I dedicate this blog post to my uncle Pookie who gained his heavenly wings last week Monday. He definitely was person who loved everyone OUT LOUD!

Sending you all love, light and positive vibes,
