Hello empowered,
Love....that is a huge emotion and a beautiful thing. Love does not hurt, is kind and accpepting. I believe the following words sum it up...

No one falls in love by choice, it’s by chance.
No one stays in love by chance, it’s work.
No one falls out of love by chance, it’s by choice.

When you meet the right person, you will know when it is love. You may think that you are ready for love...but you may not really be. When you are truly ready, love will find you and it will be wonderful. My prayers are with you.
