You will notice it in your body first.
The shoulders soften. The breath drops lower. The constant low monitoring of who you have to be in this room finally turns off.
Love that asks you to shrink is not love. It is a transaction with a pleasant face.
Love that asks you to perform is conditional. The conditions just have not been named yet.
Love that lets you arrive as you are is rare. It is also the only kind worth building a life around.
