People can only see you as far as they see themselves, and maybe that’s not their fault. Why do we attract the same people, the same pain, the same dynamics, over and over again? Why do we feel we need to strive for, work for, or sacrifice for love? Why is it so hard to walk away when you know you’re being hurt? This pain that can follow us through our relationships seems to be a right of passage in living life. 

Does it have to be?

How do we navigate love in all of its various forms - family, friends, romance - when love is what drives us, hurts us, and ignites us?
