revealing

In the youthful days of our lives, we seek perfection in love, chasing after an idealised image devoid of flaws and imperfections. However, as we mature, we begin to appreciate the beauty of humanness, the intricate tapestry of experiences that shapes our lives. It's in the stories of resilience, the scars etched by life's challenges, and the vulnerability that comes with aging that we find true love.

With each passing year, the armour we wear to protect ourselves grows lighter, revealing our authentic selves to the world. In this revelation lies an unspoken invitation, a silent plea for connection and understanding. The wounds that once repelled us now become badges of honor, testaments to a life richly lived. They serve as reminders that we are not alone in our struggles, that our imperfections are part of what makes us human and lovable. ~Jeff Brown
