Because isn’t that the point of every relationship: to be known by someone else, to be understood? He gets me. She gets me. Isn’t that the simple magic phrase?

About This Quote

Love is universal. All people love. Love is an emotion that is so necessary for us to survive. It is the one thing that can bring families together and help you through the darkest of times.

Yet, it can also be one of the most complicated emotions. People are afraid to love because they are afraid of getting hurt. They are scared that someone will get them back or that their feelings will be reciprocated.

They are not afraid of having their hearts broken, because everyone has felt that pain at some point in their lives. When you fall in love, you fall hard. You give everything to this person without any thought of what will happen afterwards.

But, love is not something that something happens to you, it happens to you by yourself when you let it happen. Love is important for our happiness and growth as individuals, but it does not give us power over another person’s life. The best course of action in any relationship is to take care of yourself first before taking care of your partner or family members.

By doing so, you will only be able to give what you have without expecting anything in return.
