“We can offer the most extraordinary love to another; but no matter how determined we are, that tie will only go as deep as the other will allow it. There are various levels of love within the many relationships of our lives; and all are important, even needed for psychological balance. But it is our intimate connections that stretch our limits, that dig deeper than we sometimes want to go. Ultimately, we will only be loved to the extent we allow the latter intimacy to go. And if we are courageous enough to walk that line, it will make all the other ties exceptionally meaningful and infuse them with the fragrance of the depth we reached with that one person we were willing to risk it all with.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
