Love is when you feel fully safe and comfortable to be vulnerable with and around someone else. When you can immerse yourself in their presence anytime you can be with the other person. That doesn't mean you have to change your life but you might need to make compromises together.

@xXAlternativeblkchicxX Like where you might have made a plan to do something and to include the person you're in a relationship with might require changing the plan. Say you're trying to line up a date night and because of your work, study or family commitments you have limitations on dates and times. So you work with the person to figure out what works and if you can change your arrangements you do. That's a simple version. ;-)
