If it’s not uncomfortable, it’s not love

When you commit to truly loving someone, you must commit to a powerful relationship with discomfort.

The people you love will move through big things and they will express or suppress those big things in ways you can’t control, many of which will make you uncomfortable. These uncomfortable moments where you want to run, fight, or check out are the moments your love is most needed. Love holds space for big things. It doesn’t avoid them.

Love is different than like. Love takes strength.
