Why is that something we quote, hang on our walls, save to our Pinterest boards?
Im going to have to push back on that.
See, that thinking is foolish.

That makes no sense.
When you love someone, you dont let them go.
You tell them, you pursue them, you care for them.

When you love someone, you dont simply walk when times get tough.
You dont push them away for fear of getting too close or being broken.
You dont leave, hoping that one day youll find them again.

Because love doesnt work like that.
Or what if they find happiness?
What if you lose out on a beautiful relationship, simply because you were tooscaredto take a chance?

If you love someone, tell themthats easy, thats something we can all do.
But what about pursuing someone you love, even when times are tough?
Even when life hasnt been easy?
Even when youve fought and hurt one another so deeply?
Do you have the courage to love?
Or are you too quick to let them go, to fall into the temporary mentality of this world?
If you love her, you dont leave her.
Its as simple as that.
Its working on your problems, together.
Loving is not synonymous with leaving or letting go.
Love is present, is challenge, is learning, is finding a way to make it work.
