Love is an art. It requires patience, subtlety, and deep understanding. We often think that love is an instant feeling, a flash that lights up our lives. But true love is a journey. It grows like a flower that needs light, water and care.
Falling in love, passion is the beginning, but true love manifests itself when you see a person without masks, with all his weaknesses and vulnerability, and still choose him. It's about being there not only in joy, but also in hard times. Love is not only beautiful words, but also actions, sometimes small, but so important.
How often we forget to love ourselves, expecting someone else to give our lives meaning. But love begins within. When we love ourselves - with our flaws, our mistakes, our past - we open our heart to another love. After all, it is impossible to give what we don't have.
Sometimes love is goodbye. Yes, it sounds strange, but it's also a part of life. There are times when to love is to let go, to give freedom to someone who is no longer on the same road with you. It hurts, but it's also love to respect the other person's choices.
And lastly, remember: love is not just about “happily ever after.” It's about living in the here and now, being present, feeling with all your heart, and not being afraid to be vulnerable. ❤️
