I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

I have found the paradox,
that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt,

I truly believe that while love can hurt, love can also heal…

Sometimes the love you'll feel after you've been hurt is stronger than ever.

Hurt has nothing to do with love, and love is unaffiliated with and unaffected by pain. We say, “My heart is full of love,” but love is not bound in our heart or our relationships, and thus, it is not caged and capable of being poked, taunted, or trapped.
