The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

There’s no shame in needing rest. Not just physical rest, but the kind where your soul is tired. The kind where everything feels heavy and even smiling feels like a job. You’re not lazy. You’re not weak. You’re just human and sometimes humans break down before they rebuild. Rest is not a reward. It’s a right. Take what you need.
