May: On LoveMay 6Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from the book The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The fact that someone loves you so much that your mere presence is all they need to feel whole, protected, and loved in return is a remarkable and beautiful thing. It’s not always possible, of course. Other obligations call, you need your own time to be yourself, but know that when they need it most . . . that’s when it matters most. Those are the moments of fragility that you will be the glue holding it all together. Might that be a bit of pressure? Sure. But that comes with the territory of love. Stay now, while you can. Because one day, your time will be up, and you’ll no longer be able to.Reflection title: StayCreative inspiration: Markus Zusak, The Book ThiefReflection Question: Who do I need to stay for?
