Not like the stories, is it? Or the movies, or the expectations we get from all that. It's about people who travel with baggage they carry when they move into your life.   It's heavy sometimes, and ugly and you have to help them carry it, which isn't much fun. Not like what it was supposed to be; nothing you want to do; not fair at all… So what it is, love that is, takes all the stuff from the stories and expectations and adds understanding, acceptance, accommodation because that's what it takes to help you carry someone's baggage… and what it takes to help them carry yours.
