“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.”
-Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale
In love is a want. For me, that’s a problem because you don’t actually love the person. For real. Because you love yourself. On how you want something so that you feel love. When there is a conflict, misunderstanding, or simply confusion, we can reflect, pause for a moment, and think again, and little by little, we find out who we really are. Loving is giving without forcing the giver. A real giver, not expecting anything in return. Steven Pressfield puts it, “Realer than real and truer than true.
