“You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness.” – Julia Roberts
Sometimes, there is addition by subtraction, where someone we care about immensely is better without us. Whether it forces them to grow in ways that they need, or we draw out of them things that are not best for them (or ourselves), there are times where what is best for the one we love is not us.
Do you love them enough to want them to be happy, even if it hurts you somewhat to make that happen because it is not with you?
