To love is to be there when needed, and to step back a little when the space becomes too small for two.

Love is a responsibility that we voluntarily take upon ourselves. To love is to owe. "I don't owe anyone anything" is not about love. It's that the other person doesn't owe you anything. Absolutely nothing. But you must. You must care, you must be faithful, you must serve a person. It's about love from freedom.

Love is security. Love means that next to you a person can be real. He is allowed to be weak, allowed to doubt, allowed to be ugly, allowed to be sick, allowed to make mistakes. Tantrums, quarrels, arguments, negative emotions, lack of courage and determination are not a reason to stop loving a person. And is it possible to stop loving someone, if love is a gift that you share with all your heart, without demanding anything in return. To love a person more than the actions that he commits. To be there in trouble and in joy, to be always available, to be always in touch. To be the one who is known to never betray.

It is important for children to know that family is the safest place in the world. It is important for aging parents to know that they are needed and loved, that they will be protected until the end of their lives. It is important for a husband to know that his wife loves him regardless of his success at work, and it is important for a wife to know that he will be there regardless of how she will look in ten years or even fifty. And this is not about promises, it is about something else, something deep and real. There is no need to talk about this, you need to live in such a way that the one who is nearby feels safe, such a life is just about true love.

Love is maturity and awareness. Love is the understanding that close relationships are impossible without crises, that feelings need time to mature, that love cannot be a continuous holiday, love is the deepest work on oneself, first of all. Love is a series of deaths and new births, love is the exposure of the most vulnerable points, love is the courage to be real, love is the bravery to enter uncharted territory.

To love or not is always our personal choice, there is no need to impose it on another person. The beauty of true love lies in giving with all your heart and being grateful that the other agreed to accept it. He who knows how to love is doomed to be happy. It is not a question of whether you have ever been loved, but whether you have managed to become so deep and mature as to live with an awakened heart. Love is light, love is the radiance of the heart, love is the best thing we can give to the world around us. Love!
