Whose Love Are You Living?

Today's Thought!

This thought came to me while watching a movie. Here’s a brief synopsis of what sparked today’s reflection: It’s about a woman who allowed a psychic to decide who she should love. The psychic had once warned her about something life-changing—something she ignored, only for it to come true. Because of that, the psychic became a trusted voice in her life, even influencing her most personal decisions.

Yes, it’s just a movie, but it got me wondering—how often do people allow someone else to choose their person?

It’s funny how easily outside voices can shape how we see someone. “They’re such a great catch!” “You two are perfect together.” And just like that, we start looking at them through borrowed eyes instead of our own.

But what happens when you’re in a relationship with someone you chose, yet the people around you think you should be with someone else? Do you start to question your choice? Do you second-guess the person you once felt so sure about? Suddenly, the habits you once found charming start to seem like red flags—because someone pointed them out. Little things you never noticed before begin to feel bigger. And the strange thing is, those are often the same things that made you fall in love in the first place.

Are you creating problems based on what others say, or were you so caught up in the good parts that you overlooked the rest? Are these real concerns, or are you only paying more attention to the negatives because others have?

At the end of the day, love is yours to live. Just make sure it’s really yours!
