It’s difficult to be rational in matters of love. Even the most rational can succumb to love’s irrationality.

Love isn’t rational, but neither is rejecting it. Neither your head nor your heart alone can tell you what you need. Both have input. Listen to both.

But loving someone doesn’t mean sacrificing everything for them. Your life remains your own, and self-love is essential. Give the love you have and ask for the love you need.

Love isn’t just words. And it isn’t just a feeling. Love shows itself through what it does. Circumstances reveal whether love is truly there.
