Emotional growth Quote by Stacy Sivinski
““Just because you care about someone doesn't mean you have to stay the same person forever. Sometimes, you can love the people in your life so much that you become afraid of what might happen when you start to change. The threat of loss keeps us from taking a risk, and the dreams we have remain just that, fantasies. But love isn't meant to be like that, fixed and unrelenting. It needs room to grow, to make mistakes and turn into something new. It has to account for the living parts of yourself.””

![“Love isn’t an act, it’s a whole life. It’s staying with [them] now because [they] need you; it’s knowing you... will still care about each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures—when all that’s on the shelf and done with.” quote by Brian Moore](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b18/brian-moore-23954_life_love-isn-t-an-act-it-s-a-whole-life-it-s_2452346.jpg)
