Episode 25: When I Stopped Searching for Love, Love Found Me - Interview with Ayana Miller
from Dream to Rise · host Cynthia Encinas-Concordia
The statement "love finds you when you stop looking". Is this true? "I craved deep connection. I wanted to feel loved." I know a lot of us have experienced a traumatic experience during our childhood years which includes not experiencing real love. That is the reason why a lot are craving for the love that they want because they have not experienced this with their family members, spouses, boyfriends, classmates who won't include you in their circle of friends, and even the society because of your race. This then impacted how you see yourself. You feel inferior, not motivated to build deeper and meaningful relationships, unable to find the job that can give you more stability, bullied, unappreciated and being rejected. I am sure a lot of negative thoughts will just run through your mind. When you believe nobody truly loves you, you feel alone, unloved and unwanted. When you allow yourself to dwell on those feelings, you feel even worse about yourself and your life. Listen to Ayana Miller, from Trinidad and Tobago, who struggled with this but reached a point in her life to make the decision to stand up and fix herself. She was at her rock bottom wherein she cried and cried a lot and had no one to share her emotions to anyone. She just kept it to herself. What action step/s did she do to help her overcome this fear of not being accepted by others? Discover what happened to her after making that 180-degree shift. After that transformation, love just arrived and now living the life she's been longing for.
