“People often fall in lust with their projected illusions of each other. Mature love says: I see all of you and I accept all of you. The truth is, you ultimately decide who your “one” will be. And when you do decide, you’ll have to make that choice many, many times throughout your relationship. My hope is that you choose the one who gives you the support and freedom you need to fully express yourself in the world, so you never have to suppress who you are and pretend to be anyone you are not. Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s an intentional practice, a daily ritual, a verb.”
