The Little Truth of Unclaimed Love

Something unexpected happened after I processed most of my trauma and unpacked four decades of shame—an overflow of love, both for others and for myself. It felt like this abundance of love had nowhere to go. It was overflowing, yet unclaimed. I no longer viewed the world through the lens of trauma or disgust. Instead, I began to see people for who they truly are—beautiful, complex, and deeply human.

But in this current season of my life, I don’t have a partner to share that love with. And so, it felt… unclaimed.

I asked a dear friend what he thought it meant, and he told me, “Sometimes, love that feels unclaimed in one season is actually being stored for a moment or person yet to come.”

That got me thinking—what do I do with all this unclaimed love?

As I reflected on my life, I realized I had already been pouring it into the world. Through counseling, coaching, and holding space for others in their healing, I’ve been giving that love away all along. This is my gift. And in this season, my little truth is this: I’m offering my unclaimed love to those who need it.

So, if you find yourself needing a little extra love right now—you’re in the right place
