Love. What is love? It is the driving force in all aspects of life. It can bring light and it can crumble into darkness. It is in what we do every day. In every contact, there is love. You walk away because you love yourself and sometimes because you love the person you walk away from. It can turn us towards our path in life, our calling, and it can turn us from a certain path. One thing is for certain in all areas, love takes strength. Love requires stepping out of our comfort zone. We give our hearts to the ones we choose and the ones who are bonded by blood. But we give our hearts in our contacts with others as well.  The hardest thing love asks of us is to love ourselves.
