Dear Carmen of The Grimm Generation,
I’m a fan of your music and notice that you list yourself as a Love Activist on your FaceBook profile. It’s what compelled me to write you this email. What do you know about love? I ask because I thought I had it. He is gone though. He says he’s confused and needs time. How could that be? He said he loved me.
Signed,

No Love
Dear Love,
Wow. Well, wow. I’m flattered you chose to write to me. That is a question, isn’t it? I’m certainly not an expert in the field. I can only answer from my perspective.
You are love. I am love. We all are. And to let it flow freely, without fear…that it is something we can lose…that someone can up and take it away from us…that’s where we go wrong, I think.
This guy…whatever he is or is not feeling about you right now…it’s his prerogative. It’s his life to live. And you have yours. The love you have for him is yours to feel. He can’t take that away from you. No one can. That’s beautiful to me. You can hang on to what is no longer the case between you two. What does that bring you? Pain? Suffering? Rage? Sadness? All those things and more, but it does not bring him back. And feeling all those gut wrenching emotions only serves to incapacitate you, and it drowns out the love that is there inside you.
To honor the love that You are, you need to not resist. You need to recognize when the love You are is not being honored. If it is not being honored, it is of no offense to you because you are love. Recognize this and it’s easy to let go when you need to, and to just go with the flow of love.
I wish you the best, friend.
Sincerely,
Carmen Champagne
