In reality, love is fluid; it’s a verb, not a noun.

In more ways than any of us can name, love is wrapped up with the idea of expectation.

At times, reality is love’s great challenge. When our old stories and dreams are shattered, our first instinct may be to resist, deny, or cling to the way things were. But if we loosen our grip, often what fills the space is a tender forgiveness and the potential for a new and different kind of love.

So often we operate from ideas of love that don’t fit our reality.
