Most people ask:

"Can you love me?"

But the deeper question is:

Can you love me when it hurts?

Can you love me when you're disappointed in me?

Can you love me when I'm struggling?

Can you love me when I'm not showing up perfectly?

Can you love me when life gets hard?

Because anybody can love when everything feels good.

The real test of love comes when hurt enters the relationship.

When expectations aren't met.

When mistakes happen.

When stress takes over.

When two imperfect people have to decide whether they're going to fight each other...

or fight for each other.

Some people don't stop loving when they're hurt.

They stop acting loving.

And that's where so many relationships lose their way.

The goal isn't finding someone who will never disappoint you.

You won't.

The goal is finding someone who remembers you're human when you do.

Because maybe the deepest form of love isn't being loved when you're at your best.

Maybe it's being loved when life is hard...

and someone still refuses to turn you into their enemy.
