This is a gorgeous essay on why we open ourselves to heartbreak. As a foster mom to a little boy who lived with us for two years and then had to leave and is now back with us again but will most likely have to leave again…it resonates deeply. Thank you, Suleika!

I used to think love was proven over time—accumulated, measured in years. But this experience has me reconsidering. Maybe love has nothing to do with time at all. Maybe it’s the decision to show up fully for something fragile and fleeting, even when you know it will break your heart. Especially then.
