I’m 81. I Realized Too Late That "Easy Love" is a Lie (Watch This Now)

Описание: I spent eighty-one years protecting my peace, only to realize I was actually starving my heart.

If you’ve ever felt like love shouldn't be this hard, or that a "right" relationship should be effortless, I need you to listen carefully. For most of my life, I believed that tension was a warning sign and conflict was a reason to leave. I thought love was a feeling you found, not a practice you stayed for.

At 81 years old, I’ve finally understood the devastating cost of that belief. In this video, I’m sharing why the "effortless love" we see in movies is a lie that destroys real connections. I’m reflecting on the silence that erodes marriages, the fear that hides behind "protecting your peace," and why growth always requires the friction we try so hard to avoid.

If you are standing at the edge of a difficult relationship, or if you’ve walked away because it felt "too much work," this message is for you. Don't wait until you're 81 to understand what love actually requires.

Difficulty is not the enemy of love. Avoidance is.
