    The scariest thing I've learned about love is that someone's love for you can make you love and like yourself more. What frightens me is that in the past, misdirected love has done the opposite for me.
    This is something I'm working on as I grow. Above all else am grateful to be growing and learning while partnered with an awesome person!
    Happy Valentine's Day!
    What is the scariest thing about love to you?

    I low key dislike that this video has no true educational component to it so here it is: if there is ONE trait you should look for in a person - studies show that trait is agreeableness. Meaning someone who is pleasant and easy to get along with. Check out this article on one of my FAV books nypost.com/2014/02/02/for-real-long-lasting-love-the-no-1-trait-to-seek-is-niceness-expert/

      Shan BOODY its rare that people now a day express true unadulterated and unbiased love. This is refreshing to see especially on a platform as big as yours it goes to show that they are still real people out there. Peace and blessings

      Shan, as a man I completely disagree, to say that there is no educational component; it is for the individual on the receiving end themselves to come to that conclusion. The fact of the matter is there is much to learn from this video.
      This video you made shows a sense of awakening that perhaps people tend to disregard on a daily basis. You’re showing and putting out to the world of what a genuine love could be especially to those that might lack it.
      Your awakened senses, your ability to make yourself transparent to the whole world SHOWS, how the balance of someone else can bring harmony and tranquility into ones restless life.
      Keep doing what you’re doing, love and live as honest as possible. You’re healing and spreading those traits to others including myself. I can say that I’ve learn much from you and am thankful to have you as a healer on this planet.

    The scariest part about love is being apologetically and unapologetically you and hoping the person will love you through it.

    • @NaturallyLit
      @NaturallyLit 6 лет назад +33

      What Not To Do At a Stoplight this is such a true statement. If someone laughs at your pain (relationship/friendship), they gotta go! There’s not time for that. I wouldn’t date a man that isn’t able to be vulnerable, empathetic and compassionate. Those characteristics are vital for understanding the human experience. We see what deflection, projection and repression has done to us.

    the scariest thing about love is loving the wrong person

    • @hojoshua8425

      What if just if I told you the scariest thing the person who loving you right person in your entire (ppl called it love of your life) but you fail to actually love him or to receive love from him or her ie not loving yourself because you didn't even accept you yourself to begin with that person. Would you say that even scarier basically you're your worst self in turn rejecting yourself even to begin with. And didn't even gave yourself a chance to felt love, in the very end you found there's a void that person who love you to death take us away but instead of that you decided to let go-some ppl even killed themselves for tragic reason. Don't you think the other person you with have to put up and hold the burden that he or she didn't even have to do. And that person is self-sabotage himself and they waiting for their death and you hope for the slightly hope in the future of not losing them.
      There isn't much to be afraid of loving the wrong person but losing yourself is the best way break you into broke pieces. I'll just let you have the thought about that one huh :)

    I WANT to feel this way about someone someday. I'm scared that it will never happen, and I'm worried that I'm too broken to let it happen. I'm a work in progress, and I'm trying SO hard to work through the pain and I'm losing that fight.
    For everyone who has love in their lives: please cherish it. You have a gift that some of us may never have.

    You made me cry so hard, Shannon. I'm very young, 25 years old. I've been in love with the same man for 7 years now. We grew up together, we became adults together, we learned how to love from each other's love. We even separated for a year and a half because I needed to go away (to Europe for school) and he has always been SO supportive of me. Even after all of these years, all the ups and downs, I love him more and more every day. And I am also so grateful and feel so lucky to have him. He is my best friend, my lover and now also my husband. We too have an open relationship, and are very happy in it. Because we get to love each other and also experience life as young adults and individuals. Thank you for inspiring me so much. I've been following you for years now and I always cry when you do. I love you! Just wanted to share a bit of my life with you. See you soon

    I just left a toxic relationship that went on for almost 2 years. It's been off and on, and he was always super possessive, can't manage his time, and immature. I've lost many friends, trust, and hope because of him. But he was one of my bests. He taught me that I wasn't as perfect as I thought I was. He was sweet when we werent mad at eachother. I just wanted to be free. I miss him dearly, but I know it's for the best. Can you talk about toxic relationships? I don't know what love is anymore. I feel like my heart had turned off. And I just don't know what to do.

    I thought I was the only one who thinks I’m too mean. I always pray to God to help me be better. And my boyfriend is so selfless with me. The other day he did the simplest thing, ( we have the same water bottle) my top was broken and his isn’t. When he was leaving my house he gave me his bottle top and told me to give him my broken one. I know it’s simple but it really warmed my heart❤️
    love you shannon, you make me feel human ❤️❤️

    Being loved is such an amazing feeling. When you're loved in the way that fulfills, surprises, scares and excites you, it's a beautiful thing, but when it exceeds what you thought your capacity to give or receive love was, it's magical! Congrats on finding that feeling, Shan. Not wishing this, but even if it turns out that it's temporary, it still happened.

    Shannon I’ve been watching you for over 2 or 3 years. I love the knowledge you provide about love. You’ve taught me to strive to love myself and not to settle for less in the person I want to be with. When I meet that man that is supposed to be there I hope I can experience all those great feelings. I’m a hopeless romantic but I know his out there. Thank you for sharing something so precious with us.

He doesn’t talk to me much or want to hang and it really hurts but this video reminded me there may be someone better for me down the road somewhere

    I really needed to see this video, like a dire need. First and foremost, congratulations to you and your partner! You seem like you are at peace and I believe that that is how true love should be, it should bring you peace and it is obvious that you have found that with Jared! Second, I have been chasing and entertaining broken people for so long that I believe I can't be attracted to good people. Seeing this video has given me so much hope and I will try to change these beliefs that are keeping me stuck and miserable and chasing broken people. True love will always prevail!

    This video is beautiful and hits hard. I'm 26 years old and for some reason this holiday is hitting me hard this year. Normally I'd be at home with my dad and he'd buy me chocolates. But I currently I live abroad for work. So it's a bit weird to not see him. I am interested in someone but of course they don't know. But it's because he's the first guy outside of my family to just think I'm beautiful. He's not black like me, but he like's my natural hair and is amazed by it. I wish I could tell him...but I don't think it's the right decision unfortunately. So take the time and appreciate Jared and the relationship you guys have. Even if it doesn't last forever, you'll treasure the memories. Happy Valentine's Day Shan💜

    Your video hits close to home. My partner is the only one who can look at me in a baggy tshirt or in granny panties and with no makeup on/messy hair and call me perfect. He's the only one who has seen me as *me*, as in the girl who is vulnerable and scared of commitment and overly critical of herself. He accepts me on the inside but also on the outside whether I am dolled up or not. Sometimes I ask myself if I warrant this kind of acceptance and unconditional love... he makes me feel whole again. I realize neither one of us are perfect but we help each other improve. I'm more patient now and he is more attentive and works on his own self improvement.

    Thank you for making this video Shannon. I know it must've been very difficult to be so honest, candid, open and vulnerable about your feelings about love not just in general but also the love that you share with Jared. I remember that video from 2 years ago, damn time flies but you seem to be in so much of a better place. You appear a lot more centred and whole. I know there were parts where you became very emotional when describing the effects that Jared's love has had in your life and hope that one day I too can share such a genuine connection with whoever my life partner may be. Thank you so much for deciding to post this after all! Hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day from back home here in Canada.

    I loved this video because I didn’t realize but you and I are somewhat in a similar place.. two years ago I was crying over the ending of a very painful and actually abusive relationship and my current boyfriend was around but his role wasn’t very clear, and now we’ve been together for almost two years and he has, after all of the abuse and trauma, brought me back to life in many ways... he’s such a beautiful person and I over all just want nothing but for him to enjoy my love and his life. I hope that he always happy. No matter where we go. Happy Valentine’s Day Shan. ❤️ I’ve watched your videos since I found your curly hair routine on TGAW, and watching you grow and change over the years has really been incredible to witness.
