In Love

I used to admire people who were so ‘in love’ because it must be incredible for two people to come together with such a deep connection between them. Loving someone with all your heart is brave and it takes guts. Years ago, this concept was a little too scary for me to entertain.

It reminded me of the saying by author Michael Gardner, “Falling in love is like giving someone a gun and letting them point it at your heart and trusting they won’t pull the trigger.”

It wasn’t the last part of the saying that bothered me about “trust” despite the fact that trust is such a critical cornerstone of any solid relationship. I was well aware that trust was as fragile as bone China, which could be broken or shattered at any point.
