we are going to talk about something that is going to hurt you but you need it you have been lied to
Forever they have made you believe that what you feel is love when it is really
fear fear of being alone fear of not being enough fear of not being loved
fear of not having someone who validates you who makes you feel like you are worth something but tell me the
truth what would happen if that person disappeared tomorrow would you still feel complete or would you crumble like
a poorly built structure which only stood up thanks to the presence of another that not in your stomach that
tremble in your hands when a message is not answered that insomnia that makes you check their last connection time and
again that is not love it is anxiety disguised it is attachment it is
emotional dependency and the worst of all you confuse it with love because no
one taught you to love without needing Carl Yung said it
brutally the meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances if there is any
reaction both are transformed but you are not transforming
you are getting lost you are molding yourself inage of another so that they do not leave you are reducing yourself
denying yourself betraying yourself because it terrifies you that the other
might not choose you because you believe that without them you are nothing here
is the truth you do not want to hear it is not love what you feel
it is an addiction you are hooked on the other as someone hooks on a drug because
it makes you feel something that you alone do not know how to give yourself
because it calms a void that you do not even dare to face headon do you know what attachment is it
is the illusion that you need someone to survive it is that internal whisper that
tells you without them I die but you do not die you face it you rebuild yourself
you transform because absence when you know how to look at it with brave eyes becomes your greatest teacher attachment
is fear love is freedom attachment chains you love expands you and as long
as you do not understand that difference you will continue to confuse cages with hugs you will continue to believe that
to love is to possess to hold to secure but true love does not need locks
it does not need Eternal promises it does not need certainties Yung
understood this he knew that the human being projects his voids onto others
that he seeks outside what he lacks inside and that is why attachment is so
common because we live with open wounds that we try to close with someone else's skin we become emotional vampires
absorbing the other's energy feeding off their presence to avoid looking at our own lack but there is a turning point a
moment when you hit rock bottom when you realize that the love you thought you had is not saving you it is sinking you
and there Begins the Detachment not as a cold renunciation not as an emotional disconnection but as
a profound Act of selflove detaching is not ceasing to
love it is starting to love without chains it is letting go of the fear of
loss it is understanding that authentic love does not demand permanence nor
sacrifices that destroy your essence authentic love invites you to be more
you not less to grow not to diminish to fly not to stay still Detachment is
internal Revolution it is telling fear you no longer command it is looking into
the void and not trembling it is understanding that you do not need anyone to feel Complete because you
already are even if you do not yet know it even if you still find it hard to see
and yes it will hurt the process of Letting Go hurts like tearing off a part
of the Soul because you have lived so long believing that the other was indispensable that you forgot how to
walk alone but believe me it is possible
and when you achieve it when you truly free yourself everything changes not
because the world changes but because you no longer see it from lack but from
fullness detaching is not closing the heart it is opening it but without
conditions it is loving without fear it is saying I love you but I do not need
you to be happy and that although it sounds contradictory is the greatest act
of love you can offer because then you love without pressure without manipulation without
expectations you truly love Yung spoke of the process of
individuation a path of self-discovery in which you integrate yourself get to know yourself become one with yourself
and from that place you can relate without losing yourself you can share
without needing you can love without depending because you you are no longer empty you are no longer broken you are
no longer looking for someone to complete you you are choosing to share what you already are not what you lack
but that requires courage because attachment is comfortable although it
hurts it is familiar Detachment on the other hand throws you into the abyss it forces you
to confront yourself it leaves you alone with your shadows and that is where many
stop because they prefer the known prison to The Emptiness of freedom but do you know what lies Beyond
The Abyss peace a peace that does not depend on anyone a stability that does
not wobble with absences a love that is born from within and projects outward not the other way
around and then you understand you understand that letting go is not losing
it is recovering recovering yourself rebuilding yourself reconnecting with
your power with your essence with your true self true love does not hurt it
does not distress it does not manipulate it does not demand that you renounce
yourself to maintain it if it hurts if it makes you feel small if it robs you
of Peace it is not love it is attachment and that bond No matter how
much it is disguised as romance is an emotional prism do you want to truly
love learn to be alone learn to embrace your Solitude get to know your dark
Corners sustain yourself when everything falls do not depend on the reflection of
another to see yourself only then can you look someone in the eyes and say I
choose you but I do not need you and that is brutal because most do not love
they cling they cling to another not to face themselves to not feel the vertigo
of their own lack of self-love and so they live tied dependent broken confusing love with
suffering intensity with authenticity passion with dependence but there is
another path more difficult yes but truer the path of conscious Detachment
the path of emotional Freedom the path that leads you to love from abundance
not from lack look inside ask yourself why does Letting Go hurt so much what
part of me do I believe dies if the other leaves what void am I trying to fill and there right there is the root
of your attachment rip it out not with anger with compassion with love with
patience because it is not about hating the other it is about loving yourself enough not to depend on on anyone to
feel that you exist and that although it hurts at first is the purest form of
love that exists remember this love is not possession it is free presence it is
voluntary companionship it is dance not chain if you have to retain force or
control it is not love it is fear and fear does not build it destroys so let
go let go with dignity let go with love let go knowing that letting go is not
losing it is choosing yourself and when you choose yourself
when you embrace yourself when you stop searching outside what you already carry within the world changes because you no
longer beg for love you no longer accept crumbs you no longer cling to someone
who cannot sustain you you no longer lose yourself in the other now you have
yourself and that is the most powerful thing you can achieve Detachment is not coldness
it is emotional maturity it is awareness it is knowing that everything that
arrives can leave and still be at peace it is understanding that true security
is not in the other it is in you and from that security you can love without
fear you can open up without demands you can share without losing yourself
because you are no longer looking for someone to complete you you are choosing to share your fullness that is the
message brutal yes painful also but
necessary because as long as you keep calling your need love you will remain
trapped you will continue to suffer you will continue to repeat patterns that
only destroy you it is time to wake up to look attachment in the eyes and say I
no longer need you it is time to walk towards Real Love A Love that does not
chain that does not demand that does not consume a love that liberates that
accompanies that builds and that love begins with you not with another with
you in you because when you are okay with yourself everything else falls into
place everything else aligns and then yes you can truly
love and now I want you to think about this what if emotional attachment not
only distorts your idea of love but also distorts who you are because Here Comes an uncomfortable
truth when you attach to someone you unconsciously start to mold yourself to
fit their expectations you stop being you to be what you think the other needs you
become an editor version of yourself and do you know what is most tragic about
that many times not even the other asked you for it you did it out of fear out of
that unconscious impulse that if you do not adapt they abandon you and here we enter into something deeply
jungian the shadow that repressed part of you that you do not show that you
hide that you ignore but that is still there when attachment comes into play you
start building relationships from the mask from the character showing only
what you believe the other can accept and leaving out your wounds your real
desires your authenticity and although that keeps you linked it disintegrates you inside
emotional dependency not only ties you to the other it distances you from you
you lose your Center you forget your own limits you stop listening to your
intuition you start living according to the other if they are okay you are okay
if they move away you crumble you become a reflection not a person but an echo of
someone else's emotions what happens when you become that Echo you empty
yourself you start to live with chronic anxiety but disguised as love every
decision every word word every Silence of the other becomes a test a threat
because your emotional stability no longer depends on you but on someone else and that is very dangerous because
no one absolutely no one has the obligation to sustain your inner World
here is where relational Neurosis appears a concept not much talked about
but very real it is that state in which your romantic link become scenarios of
cyclical suffering and you repeat it without realizing it because the pattern is
engraved in your subconscious Yong knew it everything
that we do not make conscious manifests in our life as Destiny and you repeat
the same type of relationship again and again with different faces but the same
story relationships where you love from the need where you sacrifice yourself to
be loved where fear is the true engine but there is something even darker
idealization that Distortion you create when you put the other on a pedestal you
are not seeing the real person you are seeing an image that you projected and
the higher you place them the smaller you become and here everything breaks
because love needs equality and when you minimize yourself the link ceases to be
loving and becomes becomes emotional servitude so what is the way out going
inward towards the uncomfortable towards that corner where your misunderstood
Solitude dwells because if you are not capable of being with yourself you will continue
searching for someone else to do it for you and the worst you will demand it you
will become demanding controlling insecure not because you are bad but because you
are hurt and you are trying to use love as a bandage when what you need is
emotional surgery Yung spoke of the integration of the anima and animus the internal
feminine and masculine energies that we all carry when they are not integrated we
search outside what we lack inside and that search leads us to
attachment but when you do the internal work when you recognize yourself as
complete without needing another to compliment you there occurs the miracle
you start to link from desire not from need from choice not from fear from
awareness not from lack and then Love Changes shape it
ceases to be urgency and becomes expansion you no longer seek that the other saves you you seek that the other
walks with you you no longer demand and you propose you no longer retain you
share because you no longer love from Hunger you love from abundance but
getting there involves crossing a desert the desert of Detachment an arid space
lonely full of mirrors where you face yourself where you can't blame anyone
where you have to look at yourself with brutal honesty and say this is not love
this is fear of being alone and that phrase although it hurts is the
beginning of your freedom because once you see it you cannot unsee it you can
no longer settle for mediocre relationships you can no longer continue
confusing intensity with love you can no longer continue sacrificing your peace
for the company of someone who doesn't even see you you have
awakened and although that implies losing people it also implies recovering
yourself and it is here where the process becomes sacred because you understand that
Detachment is not coldness it is healing it is not indifference it is respect for
yourself it is not resignation it is Choice it is saying I love you but not
at the cost of myself it is having the maturity to let go of what does not add
to you even if it hurts it is stopping to negotiate your value for a dose of attention and something
brutal happens when you achieve it your emotional vibration changes and you
start to attract different bonds people who do not seek to complete
you but to accompany you who do not need you but Choose You who do not absorb you
but Empower you because you are no longer vibrating from lack but from
integrity and here comes the most up and most beautiful thing at the same time many will leave many will not know
how to love your freedom many will not withstand that you do not need them because they are used to being someone's
oxygen and when they see you breathe alone they feel useless but that is not your problem
your only responsibility is with yourself this is the true path of
transform when you stop begging for love and start becoming it when you no longer seek
someone to embrace you to not feel alone because you learned to embrace
yourself when silence is no longer an enemy but a temple when you discover
that your value was never in the Gaze of another but in how you look at yourself when no one sees you and yes there will
be relapses because we are human because the fear of loneliness does not
disappear overnight but every time you choose your peace over the company that breaks you you are rewriting your
history and that is power that is love that is freedom do you want to truly
love stop asking to be completed start completing yourself and from there share
because authentic love doesn't need chains only wings wings to fly together
together or separately but always in peace because real love doesn't tie it
accompanies and that that is what really matters and if you have gotten this far
it is because something inside you knows it because there is an internal voice
very small perhaps silenced for years that starts to scream from the depths
enough this is not love this is breaking me and that voice no matter how much you
try to silence it with excuses with empty promises with the maybe they will
change with the it's not that bad that voice will no longer be
silenced now we go deeper we go to the origin because emotional attachment does
not begin in the present relationship it is not the fault of the other it started
much earlier it started in your childhood in that first moment when someone
perhaps unintentionally taught you that to be loved you had to do something in
return be good be calm be useful be
perfect be invisible adapt do not bother do not cry too much do not get angry do
not be yourself from that moment you learned that love came with conditions that to receive it you first had to
deserve it and that's where it all began the adult
who suffers for Love Today is the child who never felt enough and here is the real
wound it is not the other who breaks you it is you repeating the script you
learned when you still did not know how to name your emotions Yung called it the wounded
inner child and it is not a Cheesy metaphor it is a psychic reality that child lives
inside you and if you do not listen to him he takes control he makes you act
from pain not from awareness he makes you cling beg tolerate the Intolerable
just to not relive that original wound of Abandonment but there is more because
when you do not heal that you fall into another fatal error you fall in love
with the potential not with the reality you see in the other not what
they are but what they could be if they changed and you cling to that future
image as if it were a Salvation when they mature when they
understand when they stop doing this or that and so you become a hostage of a
promise that never materializes you live trapped in a relationship with someone who only
exists in your head meanwhile you postpone you postpone
your dreams you postpone your dignity you tell yourself just a little
more but that little becomes years and when you finally open your eyes you
realize that the most valuable time you had you invested in a relationship that only existed in your hope that is the
most cruel part of attachment it steals the present in the name of a future that never arrives but we go further because
attack M has another face even harder to see it makes you addicted to drama yes
you read that right there are people who feel empty in calm because they have lived so long on
the emotional roller coaster that healthy love seems boring to them intensity becomes the measure of love if
there are no jealousy no arguments no breakups no tearful
reconciliations they feel something is missing and that is a brutal trap because
emotional chaos is adrenaline and like all adrenaline it hooks but it does not
build it only wears out have you noticed how sometimes you
reject those who love you well those who do not demand that you break yourself to
deserve it those who give without asking you for anything why because your
emotional system is used to pain because you do not know how to receive without
paying with suffering because you do not know what to do when there is no fight
and that that too is attachment an attachment to pain to the known to what
destroys you but feels familiar so how do you break the cycle first by becoming aware stop
justifying what hurts stop romanticizing what makes you small no jealousy is not
love no suffering does not validate the intensity of a relationship no loving
should not cost you mental health second stop looking for Solutions
outside stop waiting for the other to change to Value you to realize what they
have start looking at yourself because the love you demand is
the love you do not give yourself here comes a forgotten but vital concept self-affirmation
being able to say this is what I am this is what I feel this is what I need this
is what I do not tolerate and maintaining it even if that means losing
the other because losing someone who cannot love what you are is not a loss
it is a blessing but you do not see it until you learn to stand alone until
your value does not depend on the echo you receive but on the strength you generate from
within and now we go with something more existential what if love was not a goal
but a consequence what if what you really have to search for is not a partner but an
internal integration because when you are aligned with yourself what comes from outside no
longer unbalances you it does not come to complete you but to add up and if it
goes it does not destroy you it moves you yes it hurts you of course but it
does not break you because you are already whole Yung spoke of the self as
the core of your deepest identity a center that is not altered by external
wind when you live from that Center you no longer need to be approved validated
or sustained by another you become your own anchor and from there any
relationship you build will be free Freer cleaner truer because it does not
arise from emptiness but from the meeting between two complete beings and
yes this sounds nice but the path is hard you will cry you will want to go
back you will miss even what hurt you because your mind is conditioned to seek
the known even if it breaks you but every time you choose your peace over
the drama every time you embrace yourself in the midst of emptiness you are freeing yourself you
are reprogramming your emotional history you are stopping to repeat the wound and
starting to write from the scar and the most up thing is
this you will have to accept that not everyone you love is prepared to love
you back you will have to look someone in the eyes and recognize that it is not
their fault nor yours it simply is not it does not fit it does
not flow and letting go is not failing it is maturing it is recognizing that
loving also means knowing when to stop when to close the door when to let go
not because you do not love but because you love yourself that is real Detachment not resignation not coldness
not indifference but love in its purest State love that allows ows itself to
leave when staying means ceasing to be oneself and when you reach there
something inside you is released forever because you discover that your
greatest love story is not with another person it is with you with your process
with your growth with your freedom and from that place everything else
everything else is transformed and now that we have traveled this Labyrinth together I want
to take you to the end point but not to close but to open your eyes in a way
that perhaps no one has dared before look I'm going to tell you
something that probably no one has told you like this with this harshness the love of your life is not a
person it never was the love of your life is your path your Evolution your
Consciousness the love of your life is you when you finally stop betraying
yourself and what you call loss is often the way life rips out what no longer
makes sense what is holding you back what prevents you from blossoming but of course it hurts it
hurts to detach it hurts to stay alone with oneself it hurts to look around and
see that the person who filled your mind and body is no longer there but what if
that pain were necessary what if it were the fever before healing because yes Detachment Burns but what
comes after is Clarity a brutal Clarity the clean gaze the silent Soul the heart
finally breathing without chains because here goes something that few understand
it is not the same to be alone as to feel empty being alone is a state
feeling empty is a wound and when you heal that wound Solitude stops being a
punishment it becomes a temple a refuge a sacred place where you can finally
listen to yourself without the noise of the world and then something almost mystical
happens you no longer need to beg for love you no longer Chase anyone because
you realize that no one is as valuable as your peace no one is worth enough to
make you lose yourself to retain them because you did not come to this life to beg you came to create to discover
yourself to rise and if someone wants to walk with you great but if not you
continue not out of Pride out of awareness so keep this in mind love is
not what ties you it is what allows you to let go true love is not that intense
connection that makes you feel alive one second and dead the next true love is
the one that doesn't need to shout to be felt the one that doesn't demand absurd
sacrifices the one that doesn't make you choose between you and the other true love does not hurt what hurts is
attachment the idea the fantasy the resistance and now that you know what
are you going to do with this are you going to continue living in dependency or are you going to dare to cross the
bridge to you because the path begins there just when you decide to stop begging for love
and start cultivating it within you and if you have reached this point if you
have felt even a single sentence Pierce you like an invisible knife I have a
proposal for you go down to the comments and write this sentence as a commitment
to yourself I choose my peace over fear write it not for me
for you so that you do not forget so that every time you feel weak again you
remember this decision and subscribe if you have not done so yet because this channel is not
to entertain you it is to break you and then help you rebuild here you do not
come to hang out you come to wake up and if you are ready for more uncomfortable
truths more brutal psychology more Revelations that make you look at your
life with different eyes stay and now I say
goodbye but not with a goodbye no I say goodbye with a warning from this moment
you will no longer be able to love the same you will no longer be able to relate the same because now you know now
you see and once you see the truth there is no going back see you in the next
