About This Quote

When she was younger, she didn’t understand that love could be painful. She thought that love should be easy and that it was something that everyone felt. For the name of the game was love, but her love for her family was not an easy feeling. She loved them, but there were times when they hurt her.

When she thought about that, she felt sad and hurt in a way that made her want to cry. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with the way she felt because they were family and she loved them dearly. It wasn’t until people told her that it was normal to feel hurt by the actions of your family when they call you names or when they do things out of kindness and concern for you, but only when there is no true love between them.

They taught her how to see things from a different perspective, so when she saw others hurting she didn’t feel angry anymore.
