To the curious: I am a Black and Puerto Rican female who resides in San Diego, California. I acknowledge every imperfection about myself and abide by my own rules. I am a completely open book. Some pages may be a little more difficult to read than the others, and others may be blank. I rant, I joke, and I keep it real. I may be sarcastic at times, have acute OCD, and a slight obsession with curly hair. Think what you may...but this is me.

Ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love in this second sense - love as distinct from ‘being in love’ - is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself. They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be ‘in love’ with someone else. ‘Being in love’ first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise.
