Love

Love requires a certain amount of acceptance and an immense amount of vulnerability. Accept that their happiness is equal to your own but should not come before yours. Accept that the emotion will strip you until you are raw, naked and vulnerable. Your heart in their hands. They have the ability to hurt you as no other can as well as provide you with more joy than anyone else. They can hurt you, break you but although you give them the ability for this, it also requires trust. Trust that they will not use this ability, will not shatter you. Love is the most important thing you can come to do, if you let yourself.
