It only hurts us to love when we do so with expectation. And that’s not really love, anyway. Love has no expectations, no qualifiers, no conditions. Love is pure, untouched by our mind’s demands, untainted by our desperation and fear. Love can only be beautiful. It can only be divine. No, love doesn’t hurt, not when it’s real. Love empowers. It strengthens. It reminds us who we really are and why we’re really here. Love, more than anything else in this entire world, heals us. Scott Stabile

When we love someone, all the little hurts that come along with being human are forgotten. Our loves are able to heal us no matter what the person is going through. Love makes us feel better, not by running away from any of our problems, but by loving enough to be of help no matter the situation.
