It’s the deal we have to sign again and again to keep that love. We don’t turn away from the parts of someone we don’t want to see. However quickly or long it takes to see them. We accept them if we are strong enough. Or we accept them enough to not let the bad parts become the entire story.
Yes to this! I do believe that loving anyone (even someone who has tried to be completely honest with you) is often like peeling back an onion, isn’t it? We see new things over time. We understand our people differently. We evolve. They evolve. And the trick to loving someone over a lifetime is to allow for this evolution, to embrace it, to keep going. To keep believing.
