Real Love Doesn't Demand Your Suffering.
There is a lesson we all must learn, perhaps the most fundamental one, about the value of our own well-being. It’s a quiet truth that echoes in the deepest parts of us, a call toward a life built on solid ground, not sinking sand. For so many years, we are taught, implicitly and explicitly, to pour ourselves out. We nurture careers, raise families, support friends, and constantly strive to meet the expectations of a demanding world. We believe that sacrifice, constant giving, and even enduring discomfort are badges of honor. We treat our own spirits like an endless reservoir, one that can be drained without consequence.
