A Post About Love

Acting in love does not always mean making people happy.

I have been thinking a lot about this simple statement since being home.  I love making people happy, but I also don't consider myself a pushover.  Usually.  But if what I believe to be acting in love is going to cause dissent amongst my friends or family, I will probably choose not to.  My anti-conflict sentiments have led me often to a lack of depth in relationships, and that ends here.  Now I just have to figure out what that looks like in the real, tangible, simple day to day.  Oy.
