sometimes, when we fall in love, we forget ourselves.

we forget to be with the people who make us better. we forget to be better, to be made better, we forget to let ourselves be loved.

we get distracted from ourselves.

but to love, we have to like. we have to remember that real love gives us more reasons to love ourselves, not fewer. real love makes us more aware. real love has levels, it has layers, it needs tending to. it’s not simple, it’s not passive, it’s active and effortful

it pushes us to improve.

it motivates.

it inflates, instead.

it’s hard to find loves like these. it’s easy to get consumed by love, to have it eat away at us until there isn’t much left.

the, issue, i think is that we get comfortable.

and you need to get uncomfortable sometimes. you need to get uncomfortable to grow. you need to

change

to become more. and i want you to become more. i want to become more, too, so let’s get started.
