About Labels

We have a whole long list of labels that we attach to relationships: lover, partner, friend, family, etc. In my experience these labels are just approximations. These are all loving relationships. Each individual relationship is unique, intimate in its own way and changing over time. There's danger in drawing assumptions and creating hierarchies based solely on labels. I have found the greatest loss is not allowing yourself to love and enjoy the awesome people in your life as much as you can. No one type of relationship is better than another. It's okay to be in love with who you love, no matter what label, no matter how that love manifests. Love is love.
