I believe love, true love, really begins when you take away the emotions of the fluttering butterflies, when the colors of your days begin to fade, and you’re giving more than you’re receiving. True love looks at the person honestly, plainly for who they are and still chooses to accept them – even in their deteriorating appearance or lack of ability they once had. True love stands the test of time of hardship, misunderstanding, and passionless days. And it’s during these times, we must choose to love despite our lack of feelings in our heart. May we aim to follow this way of commitment to one another.
