🤍 The Quiet Truths of Love 🤍
A short Tuesday series I’ll be sharing over the coming weeks for anyone who has ever softened themselves or lost a little of their light just to keep the peace.
The holiday season often asks us to smile, to keep things pleasant, to smooth what’s uncomfortable for the sake of harmony. But real peace doesn’t require you to disappear. Sometimes that dimming happens quietly, in one corner of your life, at home, or among family, while everywhere else you still seem fine. It’s something worth noticing, both in ourselves and in those we love.
This week’s reflection expands on the quote above, a quiet truth for anyone who’s felt the weight of keeping it all together.
✨ There’s a quiet kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying relationships on your shoulders, from holding it all together in the name of love. But love isn’t meant to be a test of endurance. True love wants you radiant, not reduced.
As we move toward the end of the year, let this be your reminder: you’re allowed to stop carrying what was never yours. 💫
Reflection:
Where in your life have you mistaken endurance for love? What might radiant love — real, mutual love — feel like instead? 💭
