Love can neither be created nor destroyed
And once it's there, it's there. Now, it doesn't always mean that the relationship is good for you, but what do you think? I'm curious about what you think about this

Well, in my opinion, I think that we can't make people love us, but we can make them not like us and therefore kill any feelings they have for us if we really treat them poorly or something like that. I kind of see your point and what you're saying and all that, but I don't know if I would say that. I don't know if I can equate love to energy
You could call it a shutting down. Or someone puts walls up, right? And it's almost like the ability maybe either to receive love, most definitely, but maybe also to express love atrophies. And if that's the case, then where does that energy go? Does someone else pick it up and suddenly they have an excess of love? And that doesn't seem to fit for me. I don't know

You. Thanks for answering the question and kind of pondering it with me. I was thinking about it. I said it out loud in a conversation the other day and it got me thinking. So I was like, I wonder what other people think about that. So thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm still right, FYI. Ha. Just kidding. It's kind of something that I had never said out loud before and I got me thinking about it

You. Okay, like, I'll admit that I didn't listen to your whole message, but I got to the part where you said, putting up walls, and I think about the reason for putting up walls, right? So when I got divorced, I was married for 20 years and I had to put up walls in order to protect myself because the love that I had for her was so deep and intense. Um, but it wasn't a good relationship
This then allows the two of you, or however many people you invite, to be a part of the conversation and allow for some continuity. So, for example, I used this option when I had a conversation with my brother last year sometime, so that if somebody wanted to come along and listen, they could listen to the back and forth between he and I with some form of continuity there. And then at the end, I turned the invite only option off

You. Oh, my. Thanks for putting so much thought and effort into that question. I appreciate you. I think I was really talking about what not a private conversation, but I think all conversations are interesting. So I'm going to check out. I'm going to poke around a little bit more in this app and see if I can define what it is I'm going for. So thank you so much for that answer
