"Love is about giving freedom and power, not about gaining control or possession."
"I do not imagine I will ever cling to her like she is the last handhold on an otherwise sheer cliff. I have wings. I am ever here in this moment because she is where I want to be.

Love isn't easy, but it never should be hard; Live courageous with me, passion in our hearts."
