About This Quote
Love does not always work the way we want it to. There are times when we cannot resolve a conflict and we end up fighting; with people and in our minds. Love requires us to go through the motions and reach out to another person in spite of their negativity and in spite of their stubbornness. The only way that love can remain real is if we continue to love when things get difficult. This means becoming vulnerable and allowing ourselves to be hurt; with feelings of anger, blame, and indifference.
