Grown-Up Love

Stumbled upon this quote from Oprah today and I just had to share it...
(I am not a fan of hers, I just like the quote...gasp!)

“Grown-up love is not sought at any cost or pursued with a sense of desperation. Yes, a relationship requires work. Yes, it means sacrifice, Yes, it’s about compromise. But if it’s healthy, it should bring you joy not just some of the time but most of the time. And whether you’re twenty-five or forty-five, single or married, it should involve bringing all of who you are to the table–and walking away together with even more.”

Good quote! But I'm convinced someone else wrote it for her and she just took the credit :P

Also not a fan of Oprah...but amazing words non-the-less. People want love to be "perfect" and what they fail to see is that "perfect" also has its own set of flaws. Be who you were meant to be...fall in love with the world...and the world will have no option but to fall in love with you. <3
