Why Love is Always Worth It
When it comes to love, we are so often afraid of the vulnerability it requires from us. Especially when we’ve opened ourselves up to love once already and we were hurt in the process.
Some people sling the word “love” around like we’re all capable of falling in and out at any given moment. The truth is, many people don’t know what real love looks like. They might think they’re being loving when they’re not, and as a result, those they hurt think love isn’t worth the end result. And why would they? Being moderately adored, controlled, or lusted after isn’t exactly the fairy tale love we dream about.
And love isn’t a fairy tale, don’t get me wrong. It’s not perfect, whole, and pristine. It’s messy because that’s life. It’s messy because we humans are messy. We don’t get it right all the time, and that’s a tragedy.
But love is a bit of a miracle. When you experience real, true love - unconditional love that forgives, heals, nurtures, cares - when you experience that, you’ll know the difference. You’ll realize that what you had before couldn’t even compare. You’ll realize that going through the pain and heartbreak you went through was worth finding the true meaning of love.
We’re all different. We all have different experiences, different vices, different views on just about everything. But I hope you agree that love is worth it. I hope you know the love that I’ve known. I hope you give away that kind of love, and I hope someone else showers you in it (God knows, you deserve it!).
Love is always greater than the cost -
what you gain is always more than what is lost
