This scary thing

Love
Recently I was involved in my best friend’s wedding. When they exchanged the wedding vows during the rehearsal, I felt the gravity of marriage.
What does it mean to love somebody? To be willing to spend a lifetime with someone... to accept someone with their baggages, their past, their family, the good and the bad... and if the person is mission minded, to even put aside your own dreams to partner him on this journey...to support him.
It scares me. It must have took a lot of courage from my friend to say yes.
It’s a long term project. You will constantly have to work on the relationship. Today, I asked my friend out to chill on this beautiful cold Saturday...but because the husband just got home, she decided it was important to spend time with him. Such conscious effort!! Sometimes I think I don’t have the guts to put myself out there. I fear that I may be selfish and unwilling, and hence end up hurting that person. Oh this is so strange.
