#431 Intrusive Love
Oct 05, 2026Love is one of the greatest gifts we have to offer the world and ourselves. Sometimes, though, we start straying into other people’s lanes in intrusive ways. We start behaving in ways that overstep our boundaries and dismiss their wants and needs. It’s all done from the best of intentions, a desire to help them succeed, to be happy, to not struggle, but it is intruding on their agency to make their own choices and mistakes and live their own life. Learning to clean up our love and honor their agency will help both them and us to live with less resentment and contention, and really love well.
