Motivational Monday - Are you lingering?

Don't linger where you're not loved. The longer you stay, the more normal it starts to feel. - Rigel J. Dawson

If this is not "the message" for us, I don't know what is! We have all been there, in a relationship in which the dysfunction of it all seems normal.  

And I know where your head is going, straight to that romantic relationship, but it can also be relationships with friends and family. 

But first, we must truly understand what love is and what it means to be loved, in order for us to identify what it is not.  

I recall when I was dating, much too young may I add and this guy was so mean.  He was rude all of the time, dogged me out in front of his friends, but I stayed and kept calling him.  I didn't understand that his behavior wasn't displaying love at all.  

I recall hearing the older women in my family chat amongst each other about men and the context was always to stick it out to the end.  I wonder if this way of thinking has us staying in unhealthy circumstances?

So my question to you is, what is love? and are you lingering where you're not loved?

Until Next Time Mom Tribe, stay LOVED!
