Stuff I Just Needed to Say


Treat every day in which you love someone as an investment for future withdrawals.  The more you put into it now the greater it grows over time. 
The day will come, and it will always come, when you need to live off of that investment.
Real love, as God created it, not as you wish it to be but as God created it to be,  that love can survive a beating.   
Purpose now to know that the other loves you despite the words that come out of their mouths when they are old.  
When they forget your name.   
When they send you away.
Remain.
This is the return on the investment: Love despite the pain.
Promise by nature requires sacrifice.
Do it.
It is by far the sweetest test you will ever face.
Love is to be enjoyed, and endured.
Perfect love perfects you.
It truly is forever.
Never forget this.
