You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness. –Julia Roberts

This quote gets you thinking: is real love about sacrifice? About growing up emotionally? About seeing love beyond possessiveness? Can we be happy even when our paths split?
Julia doesn’t offer simple solutions; instead, she encourages us to delve deeper. What does “true love” signify to you? Can you nurture profound affection for someone, even if it’s unreciprocated? It’s a voyage, not a fixed endpoint, and Roberts’ insights serve as a captivating genesis.
