Growing up is a journey we all undertake through life.

Love and tears go hand in hand along our chosen paths. When we love deeply, we open ourselves to happiness and joy on one route, as well as pain and tears on another. We are all human; we all make mistakes. Sometimes, your partner might falter—others, you might be the one at fault. That is how relationships form between imperfect souls trying to please each other with gentle, kind love.

Within these pages, you will find stories and reflections for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost, and rediscovered themselves on the long road to healing. It is for those who have grown through the tender years of love and for those still finding their way. Allow yourself to fall into the beautiful pages of heartache and then return. Embrace yourself and the beautiful imperfections that we all display as our journey through life continues.

Enjoy this book about love, overthinking, growing up, and the tears that come with life. It's relatable to everyone who loves deeply and to those who have loved and grown through the tender years of love.
