Love can be such a contradiction.

It makes you blind, yet helps you see.

It brings the greatest joy, and the potential for the deepest pain.

It can make you sick or heal your soul.

It’s a battlefield and the only thing that can bring peace.

It exposes you and covers you at the same time.

It can take a lifetime to find and can be lost in an instant.
