Love is life.
In love, there is no place for idolization, obeyance, toadyism, mortification, or superiority one over another. Love is mutual respect.
Love heals. Love inspires.
Love knows no bounds, it cannot exist within a cage. Love is freedom. Love is oxygen.
In love, there is no envy or jealousy. Love is trust and a sense of self-worth.
Love does not sacrifice, but replenishes.
Love does not tolerate, but embraces.
Love is not a mythical paradise, yet it will guide you through every circle of hell – for love is growth.
Love is not about “I’ll give you a star for your love!”, it is about “I’m filled with love for you that I am capable of anything.”
“In happiness and in sorrow, in love and in health.”
It may seem that the most important thing is for a person to remain by your side during times of crisis. Although in reality, the far more rigorous test occurs to “in love and in health”, when you are happy and successful.
It is easier for us to bond over shared traumas, pain, grievances, and resentments toward the outside world (this is the foundation upon which roughly 80% of couples are built). But the moment one partner comes to their senses and begins moving forward rather than merely running in circles, the other begins to ‘suffocate’. He/she will mock, belittle, judge, and manipulate, doing whatever it takes to drag you back into the ‘old hamster cage’ with the squeaky wheel. There is no love in such a ‘relationship’.
Love is a support, devoid of sacrifice, rescue attempts, or threats (hello, Karpman Drama Triangle).
It is a process of mutual, harmonious growth, in which both partners derive happiness and fulfillment from the journey itself and its results.
It is not about the blind, pathological attachment of an infant “wherever you go, I go too”. Love is about mature trust. The certainty that neither distance nor time can ever alter the bond you share.
Love isn’t about finding someone perfect, but about becoming the best version of yourself while being in a relationship.
Love is a luxury that costs nothing, yet people are willing to give everything for it.
And first of all, love always begins within you.
