“With the right person it will always be easy”

“Be with someone who makes life a fairytale”

“I promise to make you happy...forever”

The romanticized version of love has us believing that love will always feel good. Which just isn’t true. I think it’s also important to understand that even in safe relationships there will be conflict, defensiveness, disagreement, and hurt feelings.

Authentic love is an action. It involves meeting vulnerable, fragile, wounded parts of yourself and another person. It takes conscious work and conscious commitment. It also takes self compassion and lots of forgiveness.

We all flawed humans doing the best we can, learning as we go #selfhealers
