Love is a choice you can choose to love and be loved. To be a loving person. Love requires you make choices. The choice to be committed. To communicate. To be vulnerable. To sacrifice emotional safety.

Oh shit.

Yes, the greatest love is experienced when you risk being hurt. Betrayed. Let down. Disappointed.

Well fuck, THAT doesn’t sound like love.

It is. The more we guard and protect our hearts the harder it is to open up to love. Even receiving it.

I know some of you are saying: “ I will Ann, I am ready. When the RIGHT GUY comes along. The perfect guy.”

He doesn’t exist. No, Earl isn’t perfect! That’s also why I say find happy and then choose to love. ❤️
