LOVE. LOVE IS NOT FOR THE faint of heart. It's not the romanticized version we're fed but something more brutal and honest. It's standing in front of someone with all your wounds exposed, knowing they see every scar, every broken piece, and still, they stay. Being in love doesn't come without pain. It's earned in the moments when you want to walk away when the weight of it all feels too heavy, but you choose to stay. It knows that love isn't about finding someone who makes you whole but about finding someone who sees you as you are and holds space for you to heal, grow, and become more than you ever thought you could be. Love is messy and un-comfortable. It's where you find out what you're really made of and what you're really willing to fight. There's a kind of experience that can't be taught, only approached with caution. It's about showing up daily, saying, "This is who I choose. Again, and again, and forever..you."
