Romantic love makes us believe, every time, that we don’t have to be responsible for our lives. The intoxication of love gives the illusion that we found the ONE to erase the pain and make life easy forever. We go from one person to the next when the intoxication is over chasing this high. Love is not a high…Love is a challenge. 

Love is the gateway to our greater selves through the trials she delivers in order to find the “love with no illusions” that can weather the storms of disappointment, betrayal and misfortune. -jada pinkett
